TT Rd 2 2021: Blues vs NSFW Waratahs

[zer0]

Blues team named.

Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens has big wraps on him so am very keen to see how he goes. Perhaps even more interested to see how the commentators manage his name during play-by-play commentary (i.e. not when he just comes on and it's easy to concentrate on getting it right).

How hard would Jacob be?

[Rob42]

That's a rapid rise for James Turner, leapfrogging Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) direct from Shute Shield to Tahs starting XV.

Good to see Dempsey back - he needs to deliver.

I can see the training session now:
"can you tackle?"
"yes! and I can also-"
"-Nup, don't care. that's good enough for me, you're in".

 

[Pfitzy]

The screen should have a massive CENSORED banner up wherever a scrum occurs.

It won't be PG. That's for fucken sure.

Is there any chance of Hooper coming back for this game? His energy would be a shot in the arm when we could use it.

Yes! The Hooper. We can out energise them..............

 

[Blackadder]

Perese is out Maddocks to the wing, Harrison to fullback

 

[Braveheart81]

Jack Whetton is absolutely useless. Although being down two locks is far from ideal.

When did Whetton become a lock?? He just likes to point

I think the pointing skills session was the other option instead of the tackling skill session the other week. Good to see a skill sessions yielding results.

 

[Wilson]

Waratahs having no luck but also doing themselves no favours - what were they thinking with that quick tap?

 

[kiap]

Foketi off is a loss.

Time for Nawaqanitawase to hone his defence.

 

[kiap]

Ding ding. Big Bell!

 

[kiap]

No wonder he got the 7s call up

 

[Wilson]

Brilliant from Gordon, came in off the long run up

 

[kiap]

Hoo boy

I arrive on the thread - bang bang!
