SR2023 - NZ Derbies & v Drua/ Moana

[Dan54]

Ok I loved that chaos, can be so much fun to watch!!
After watching that game, the 2 teams joining in song after the game, then kneeling in prayer? All I can say what a bloody great addition to the comp they are! Bloody great to see.

 

[Dctarget]

Aha brilliant game. Good on both teams. Drua, just like last year, have such a good ability to come back from death.

Seems sneaky cross-kick tries from penalties are in vogue this season.

Highlanders being embarrassed at this stage.

Also, was that double movement? Seemed alright to me.

^ didn't propel himself toward the line so try for mine.

Edit: justice delayed isn't always justice denied

 

[zer0]

Jeez can these dull southerners do anything other than scum? I know your HC is a former prop, but it's been five minutes of scrum, crash ball, screw it up, scrum again ffs.

EDIT: Fucken finally.

I thought it was a legit try.

Hodgman can't return soon enough. Blues heavy props don't have the scrummaging prowess anymore so might as well get a prop who can contribute around the field. Fakatava been pretty mid; messy at the breakdown and passes going every which way.

Game has certainly evened up with the loss of Ioane and the Blues graciously using a rotating sinbin.

Some points in this one so far. How good

What’s going on with the Sky broadcast of the Pasifika v Drua match.

The sponsorship logos they CGI onto the field keep glitching; they’re flashing on and off and having issues when players run in front.

now it looks like they have disabled them

Happening in Dunners as well so maybe a bug rather than a glitch? I recommend turning it off, counting slooowwwllllyyyy to 100 & turning it back on again.

yeah noticed that also, didn’t want to mention it again.

Of and on usually works.

I do like that the Kiwi refs will ping sealing off by the attacking team.

 

[Rugby follower]

Plenty of points and ball movement in this game however ball retention and tackling pretty ordinary from both sides. Round 1 though so sort of expected to be scrappy.

Handling has occasionally been like a pin ball machine too.

Reboot successful by the looks of things...

Tonight's cyclone relief kitty just hit $30K so $100K across the three games isn't beyond reach.

I don’t get the Fakatava love. Just don’t think he’s reliable enough

 

[Upthenuts]

blown out
