SR2023 - NZ Derbies & v Drua/ Moana

[Derpus]

Missed the pre-match, what's the go with Beaugan not playing?

Couldn't be arsed probably

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ yeah, the most obvious answer is usually the right answer, eh?

Loss Bleus looking somewhat underwhelming at this point on the space-time continuum. Quite disconcerting to a Loss Bleus supporter one imagines.

 

[Dan54]

You obviously missed Clan v 'tahs last week & Clan v Force the week before...

Haha WOB, it's Derpus, he does miss what's not suitable.

More annoying that obviously bad causes are having obviously bad effects. If MacDonald doesn't stop mucking around and run out the proper 9-10-12-13 of Christie-Sullivan-Heem-Rieko for the second half then I'm going to have to update my official stance from "annoyed" to the next step of "summoning the lynch mob".

 

[zer0]

Actually Te Nana's punishingly cringe simping for Tuivasa-Sheck is enough to escalate my official stance to the next level.

 

[zer0]

Thank fucken god.

EDIT: Wait. Plummer is still at 10...

Not to me

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ @zer0 on the other hand...

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

I fully expect Moana to get run down in the final 15-20 but fuck me this is enjoyable.

Edit: or then again...

 

[The Red Baron]

Havili is on fire for Moana. He set that try up.

Its very enjoyable! That doesn't appear to be happening though. Cue zer0/Dismal meltdowns

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ should the hitherto unthinkable actually happen I expect @Dismal Pillock to go abso-fucking-lutely apoplecticly, apocalyptically ballistic while @zer0 will probably feign indifference...

That said, even if Loss Bleus do sneak a W at least I haven't had to unignore Shiggins...

 

[KOB1987]

Another ridiculous maul penalty/card for tackling the ball carrier

 

[zer0]

Hmm. Wonder if a tap and shift to the middle of the field might've been a better call...

EDIT: Well got into the middle of the field. Surely just tap it now. Scrum hasn't been reliable enough imo.

EDIT2 : lmao scrum it is then.

 

[The Red Baron]

I'd have to check the replay on that one, but I reckon that card was harsh. I don't think he entered from the side at all.

It looked to me like the maul was over and he made a tackle

 

[The Red Baron]

That was my read too. I didn't think they were bound to any opposition players at the time he entered/made the tackle.

 

[zer0]

Totally unrelated obscure law question I'm asking for a friend: can a match end off a scrum free kick for early engagement or whatever?

 

[KOB1987]

The ref is pretty keen for the Blues to win this one

 

[Derpus]

There was a knock on in that.
