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

[Derpus]

Did that dude poke it back whilst lying on the ground? Should be yellow eh.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Um, did Clan not have an extra man in that lineout?

 

[Derpus]

arg ffs

 

[Derpus]

Highlanders controlling this with ease now.

 

[Derpus]

Love Clan flying in straight off their feet from the side. Its like a 101 in how to break every ruck rule in the book without conceding a penalty.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

All together now...

JA-IL break
JA-IL break
JA-IL breeeaaak!

Edit: and fuck Golden Point, too. Spin that wheel & see where it lands...

Edit: that'll just about do it.

 

[Derpus]

Clan 100% lost the ball then. There are three refs out there ffs.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Bugger :-(

This is what happens when you root for a team that isn't from NZ.

Like the fucken tide coming in.

In my experience, it's usually brown when this happens.

^ hey Sully, can we get a I Wish I Could Scrub That From My Brain emoji added to the Like options?

 

[Up the Guts]

Score?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Clan 27-24 Drua. Get your eyeballs on a replay ASAP.

Geez Force and Drua really pushing the NZ opposition hard. Too early to say the gulf might be narrowing?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ common denominator is that as Dan would say the Force & Drua tore into their opposition rather than being passive/ reactive. That's something NZ teams are struggling with right now.

Brumbies did the same last week, although they are a classier outfit.

Drua are crazy strong in contact.

Thought this had the potential to be a cracking game & 13 minutes in with three tries scored I'm thinking maybe I was right

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

LOL only a Fijian would chip & chase 5m from his own line... & damn near regather. Was expecting it to be more end-to-end both ways, MP (Moana Pasifika) in danger of copping a flogging if they don't score next.

Edit: they do & they're right back in it.
