Thoughts from the whole spectacle
Crowd was good, hope they can sustain it for the whole series
The tv production was iffy, could hear presenters talking to each other/support staff when they weren’t supposed to be able to be heard and trying to fit those weird segments with the Fijian team and the comedian really didn’t work - but they will learn from those experiences. Liked that they interviewed players on the field but maybe they should try choosing ones that aren’t bent over trying to get their breath back haha
The skill level was fine but my concern is that it was very stop start - which is to be expected from two teams for their first hitout and while the force may improve in this aspect im concerned a lot of these games will go the same way as a lot of the teams they’re playing against don’t play together regularly/are using this game to test combinations etc
The power try seems to be pretty meh, I wasn’t clear what happens if a power play is started but halfway through the play the defending team infringes and there’s a penalty, is the powerplay still happening or is it stopped? Liked the other rules but feel they need tweaking
