SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) 2022 - NZ & Drua matches with no match thread

Don't think Barrett will be too far away from taking over at first-five for the Blues.

Thanks for finally listening Leon. Now let me elucidate you on my views about Rieko at centre...

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

YC CClarke could be a turning point?

Weber completes a double. Probably eying up a hat trick already. Possibly a four-fer.

 

[zer0]

ffs Rieko. Had it well sorted until Clarke returns and now the Chiefs get to walk into the 22.

EDIT: He's fortunate the Chiefs fluffed it.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Gotta take the three this time, surely.

And they do. Loss Bleus must score twice to win it now.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

There's one...

...and the other. Loss Bleus in front with three to go. We all know what happens next, eh...

 

[zer0]

Anyone else notice the clock jumped from 72:38 to 72:54 when the ref called time off for the scrum? Was very odd.

 

[zer0]

Thank fucken christ Rieko wasn't making the final pass!

 

[zer0]

DO NOT FUCK AROUND IN THIS PART OF THE FIELD YOU DONKEYS!

 

[zer0]

Jesus that was lucky. Now they can start fluffing around with the maul if they win the lineout...

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear...

Not sure this is within Gatland's range. Into the corner might be the go.

Gatland misses.

Loss Bleus win.

 

[zer0]

ffs Robinson. That was obvious and dumb as all hell.

 

[zer0]

So how is what Robinson did different to when the Chiefs caused Darry to knock-on by grasping at his arm?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

FUCK YOU CHIEFS, FUCK YOU BRAD WEBER AND MOST OF ALL
FUCK YOU FOREVER TONY JOHNSON

 

[Dan54]

Well that was pretty good wasn't it? There was bugger all in that one was there?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

bLUES WERE largely a dishevelled rabble. Missing broken play tackles (BEAUDY) and total brainfucks from insanely experienced AB's like Ofa. Is Ofa all there? His placid demeanor makes it seem like he's mailing it in most of the time

Riccitelli was utter shit. He's like a mid-sized puppy dog who hasnt realised he cannot foot it with the big dogs and just keeps getting slapped back. Total liability. He's barely bigger than a halfback ffs

 

[Dan54]

Quick thought on one or 2 players, Chiefs seemed to try to run a bit down the 12 challenge to make it hard for RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck), he went ok though. Thought young Tupaea had a pretty good game. Josh Lord wnet pretty well, as did Perofata, had a ripper, seems the Naki boys are the answer.
I keen on Reiko, but can't make up my mind about him at 13. Sam Cane showed just how good he is, Papalií went pretty well too, buton the day one perhaps showed why he is AB captain. Caleb Clarke is looking like he coming back well too. Eklund another who doing bloody well!

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

TU-J goes beast mode & hurts Billy Procter who's not exactly small-fry. If this kid can stay injury-free for a while he might just turn out a better player than his (non-identical) twin.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Good D by 'canes but fuck me Clan butchered that. Not sure why JBar would want to be taking the relieving penalty quite that quickly?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Woeful skill level in this match. Indicative of the player drain? A few of these guys wouldnt appear at this level 10 years ago

 

[Dan54]

Geez this has been ordinary! I know there were some last minute changes, but bugger me have these jokers been training??
