SR2023 - NZ Derbies & v Drua/ Moana

[zer0]

As much as I've enjoyed the Blues dangerously sensible - borderline Crusaders like - first half, part of me is hoping this second half quickly degenerates into a no holds barred battle of the Polynesian vs. Melanesian jailbreaks.

EDIT: Probably once Akira enters the field WWE style.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Hoisted by their own humid petard.

Yeah everyone's marching to brainfuzz out there. Winter sport ffs.

Cam Suafoa pinballs thru 4 mofos en route to trytime.

 

[VassMan]

The ground looks tiring to run on!

 

[zer0]

Annoying that the Blues haven't been able to convert one of those chances in the last ~10 minutes...

 

[Dismal Pillock]

See Cantabs? That's how you win in the islands. Don't throw the poor B-team under the bus or in the pot, front up with the A-team, nail the set piece, walk around a bit to take the crowd out of it, go boomfo in the boom chucka lucka moments, then go boom chucka lucka in the boomfa moments, bit more walkies from set piece murder crime scene to set piece murder crime scene, and bob's yer uncle, by sunset you're feet up on a beach in Fiji, content at a job well done, sipping your Muay Thai Tequila Sunrise out of half a coconut, resplendent in your Blues standard-issue Fiji trip mankini.

 

[zer0]

Reckless, undisciplined, carefree, she'll-be-right, mid-table Cantabs: 0
Sensible, pragmatic, disciplined, intellectual, top-four Aucklanders: 1

Facts and logic.

 

[The Red Baron]

While I really want to see the Chiefs winning streak come to an end, I really don't want to see the evil empire get up. I'm so torn.

 

[The Red Baron]

That was a little bit more of Havili than I would have liked to see.

 

[The Red Baron]

Jeez I'm not sure about that penalty. Retallick never rolled away and I reckon the ruck had already been formed prior to Cane entering and putting his hands on it.

 

[The Red Baron]

Evil empire are definitely targeting DMac with the high ball.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Evil empire are definitely targeting DMac with the high ball.

It's working too. He's been rubbish. Kicks charged, balls jolted, his helter skelter thing biffing his teammates in the wood chipper

 

[The Red Baron]

Evil empire are destroying the Chiefs at the breakdown. They are putting on so much pressure it's causing the Chiefs attack to completely fracture. The only thing that's saving the Chiefs is the ill discipline of some of the Evil Empire meatheads.

 

[The Red Baron]

I reckon Gardner handled that pretty well. Other refs would have been handing out cards like candy.

 

[Dan54]

This is proper f***en rugby. Tough as buggery , plenty of pressure leading to some mistakes. Love it.

 

[The Red Baron]

Good try. DMac is taking on the line down that left side a bit more in opening minutes of the second half and there's a ton of guys running off him.

 

[The Red Baron]

Where did the Chiefs find Rona from again? He's brilliant.

 

[The Red Baron]

I'm going to create a second account and run it through a vpn so it doesn't look like I'm talking to myself in this thread.

 

[zer0]

Week 10 and the Crusaders are behind the Blues on the table for the second year in a row.

Nature is healing.

 

[Dan54]

Where did the Chiefs find Rona from again? He's brilliant.

He's a concreter in Taranaki here mate. He just there as injury cover. Suspect he will be pretty permanent now though!

Geez that was brilliant game of rugby, it's what you call test match intensity !

 

[Dismal Pillock]

I'd take no names Rona and Poihipo over tenured AB's Eeyore Ennor and Nothingburgers Havili any day of the week.

LOL@Donkeypants Ennor. Dude couldn't score in a crack ho bordello.
