Drua v Waratahs Rd 10 Sat 19 April, 12.05PM, Lautoka

[Derpus]

Can switch it off now. Tahs are no chance here.

 

[Shiggins]

Think Creighton got tackled shortly after the kick so all offside.

I had another look. A very late hit on him after the kick.

 

[Thalium]

What’s with this game plan?? Just kick and hope? Seems very much like what McKellar had Nic White doing for years

 

[Derpus]

Doesn't help that we are fucking up all our basic skills and set pieces.

 

[Thalium]

Tahs forwards just watched that try happen didn’t even attempt to secure the ruck

 

[Shiggins]

That was why to easy for the tahs. They should be a chance if drua are going to defend like that

 

[Derpus]

Thats a bit better.

Higher standard games kicking off at 3pm today.

Hopefully we can actually see those games ffs.

 

[Derpus]

Fijian played that on his knees and its a knock on against the Tahs?

 

[Derpus]

advancing beyond the kicker...?

Look I'm not one to bag out refereeing decisions, but am I watching the same game as this ref? Blatant obstructions. A Drua player who was 60m in front of the kicker, never retreated and was never put onside by the kicker and its a Fiji scrum.

Good on McKellar taking a half strength forward pack has worked

Didn't have a choice as far as I can tell.

 

[sterlingmortlocksgloves]

Good start, ref doesn't know new laws of no scrum from free kicks.

Reffing quality is extremely low in Super Rugby. But it is at least consistently bad. Teams just need to account for it.

 

[Super Hooper]

Adamson can't tackle

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

About as expected.

DM halftime message. Can you fuckwits keep it under 50?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Adamson can't tackle

He’s made a few 1v1s in the backfield on Drua back three players… just because that one missed I’m not going to make that call. Kailea has been falling off in tight ones and he’s a Wallaby (who’s not).

Feel like it’s what the Drua get at home. Teams phone it in and use it as a chance to rest some.
