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

[Thalium]

Fully expect the mini game on Stan to have the Benny hill theme music

 

[Super Hooper]

At least the Fijians didn't score 50 points against our back-up forwards pack

 

[Heavyd]

So instead of walking away with a crucial bonus point that brain explosion means they get nothing.

[Dan54]

There’s no offside in goal

Yes there is



10.2 A player can be offside anywhere in the playing area. The in goal is part of the playing area!!

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I guess crucial for other sides as well hoping for a round 1 of finals bye if they got the Tahs.

Starting to think it should be 1st straight through to GF and 2nd v 3rd in a GF qualifier. Who cares below that.

 

[Mick The Munch]

Feel for DC, he would've done better

 

[Dan54]

What is it about on the road with the Tahs? They genuinely looked a class outfit last week, and then a preformance like this. Were the Drua just better than they seem? I didn't catch whole game so would be interested to hear what exactly happened.

Yep could wear that too mate, but I suspect that supporters of 4th to 6th may disagree?

Dan is... correct.

Hardly… There’s 13 forwards in matchday, and 3 were rested… one of which had been relegated to the bench in recent weeks

 

[Derpus]

To be fair, though, Bell is the only bloke who can tight five with any respectability. Kailea has been pretty disappointing.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Looks like offside in-goal also applies in loig so it's not like JAS wouldn't have known.

 

[Derpus]

Certainly looked to be a Drua knock-on before it fell to him.

 

[rugboy]

The Stats suggest the Tahs were lucky to be hanging on to a bonus point in the 79th minute

 

[Dan54]

To be honest, I wouldn't be hard on JAS anyway, he either let them score or touched it down, I think most of players would've done same.

 

[wamberal99]

Shot by Gleeson. He’s really stepped up this year. A 1-2 punch with Valetini & Gleeson for the Wallabies this year looks a cracking option to me.

Tizzano?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Absolutely but I'm sure you'll remember SBW batting the ball dead thinking he was OK to do it as it's OK in loig. In a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation so took the risk as any of us would.

 

[Derpus]

Shouldn't have sent JAS to the Waratahs. Did he receive a pass in space once all game?

Could've gone Brumbies and built a partnership with Ikitau leading into the Lions.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Nice idea. Wonder if he’d say fuck that like Crichton did when told it’d be the Force if he came over.
