Drua v Chiefs

[Bovidae]

@ARHS said in Drua v Chiefs:

Seems a bit weird to have 3 halfback options then.

I think you could get away with using Carter as the backup halfback if he was on the bench. A little more complicated as a starter if an early injury occurs.

Gideon Wrampling is unlucky to not be involved. Ironically, his little brother might have taken his spot in the 23. Speaking of Malachi, he did play on the wing as a reserve for Waikato against Auckland in 2023 when Filipo went for a 7:1 bench.

Just to clarify this, you're telling me if I put Jacomb in my fantasy team I probably don't have to worry about him getting subbed off after 50 minutes?

[Yeetyaah]

No one watching this one? Fuck knows how Drua weren't called for sealing off there.

[Yeetyaah]

The broadcast is shocking, refreshing horribly, score reading wrong and don't get me started on the Aussie commentators

[HugeCarrot2]

Oh fk why did I pick any fantasy players in these conditions

[KiwiMurph]

Almost worth kicking on every phase

[antipodean]

"They don't mean to knock on". Thanks commentator, for a while there I thought it was deliberate.

[KiwiMurph]

ALB conceding a penalty

Consider me shocked

[antipodean]

ALB offside. There's something we've never heard before.

[KiwiMurph]

This is an awful watch

[Yeetyaah]

@KiwiMurph yep the weather is shite

[Yeetyaah]

Front rowers earning their chip at least

[No Quarter]

I don't really agree with the comms that the Drua were right to take the 3. It's pretty difficult to get out of your 22 in these conditions so kicking to the corner is really smart play.

[Steven Harris]

Pretty dumb from the Drua trying to move ball inside their red zone from a lineout turnover in these conditions

[Yeetyaah]

Dunno why Emoni thought to run that

[Yeetyaah]

Another HIA, this still the the smart mouth guard thing?

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs defending really well. Great 50/22 from Jacomb.

[Yeetyaah]

He wasn't even on the ball lmfao who is this clown with the whistle

[Steven Harris]

That’s hell of a tackle from Tupaea

[Bones]

What I'm really liking in this game is the officials not in any way being influenced by the crowd. Not one little bit. Nope.
