NRC Grand Final 2018 - Fiji Drua v QLD Country

[WorkingClassRugger]

Really physical game so far.

 

[Warpath]

19-12 to Drua, 38 mins gone

 

[Warpath]

Drua usually stronger in the 2nd half, weather is better now, so if Queensland are to win this, they need to strike in the first 10mins ..

 

[Aurelius]

I have to say it's extremely disappointing that they haven't ironed out the technical difficulties ahead of the final.

It's not like Fiji's a last-minute venue for this.

Veitokani grabs his sixth try of the year.........

Drua 33 Qld C 19

 

[Warpath]

ma;'afu scores, Queensland catching up.. 33-24

 

[Warpath]

Queensland need a converted try for a draw, 6 mins left.

 

[Slim 293]

That'll be the game...

36 - 26

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Drua are deserving 2018 NRC Champions. That was a really good game played in tough conditions.

 

[Hardtackle]

The try by Petaia was all class. Caught the ball at his feet whilst on one knee, ran a great line, busted tackles and stretched for the line with inspector gadget proportions. I'd have him on the EOYT, for sure.

 

[Warpath]

Hopefully Brad Thorn saw enough of the NRC to give Alivereti Veitokani a shot...

Hopefully Brad Thorn saw enough of the NRC to give Alivereti Veitokani a shot.

Not dismissing Veitokani's season but I'd prefer Thorn to bring in a veteran to back up Stewart.
