I hope one of the teams has a different jersey.

I hope one of the teams has a different jersey.

the stars have an away jersey. it somehow looks more like the Spirit jersey than the original

 

[rugbysmartarse]

this is the first time this season the stars have played the same centre pair twice in a row. This setup looked better last week, but I fear the real issue is at 9 and 10.

Have word that Local Sports Online will stream the game for non-WA viewers.

You can add to the OP if you want Kiap.

Done! Love your work.

(hopefully it streams through this week)

 

[Forcefield]

I'm a bit concerned half of our side won't be match fit. We need to win the next three if we want to play any finals games.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

not a bad set up but being a AFL ground its a long way away you get that I. Perth.

Is this being streamed or not?

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Well if there is no stream I'll do my best to give a commentary like the first match.

The site lines are very bad so it might not be the best but oh well.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

A nice little crowd in already and the rain looks like it will stay away.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Players taking to the field both teams unchanged from the above.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Stars to kick off.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Start regather the kick off but turn it over.

Godwin with the cut out pass and marcel I done the side line red calls it forward scrum to the stars.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Stars scrum under pressure but win their ball.

Stars going back on attack and kick DHP calls mark on the 22.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Poor communication front the spirit and a collision sees then tune the ball over

Stars making good ground.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Cooper continues where he left off in the city game and penalises the spirit stars kick for touch lineout 5m from their try line.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Stars maul it over for the first try to weeks.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Conversion is wide stars lead 5-0

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Deep kick from the restart.

stars clear their half DHP returns with high ball
