Brisbane Global 10s

[hydro11]

I actually enjoyed day one of the tens a lot more than I expected.

[Stargazer]

Chiefs are going very well against the, thus far, unbeaten Wild Knights.

It's 21 to 0 to the Chiefs at half time.

[Stargazer]

Luke Jacobson scores the fourth try and it's 26 to 0.

[Stargazer]

Alaimano scores the fifth. The Wild Knights haven't turned up yet. Too easy.

33-0 Chiefs

[Stargazer]

The commentators were just talking about the temperature at the stadium. Apparently, it's 34 degrees in the shadow. If they are considering organising a 10s tourney next year again, should it really be held in Brisbane. These conditions are insane!

[Stargazer]

Full time: Chiefs 33 to Wild Knights 5.

Chiefs are through to the quarter finals (top of their pool?).

[Bovidae]

So the Chiefs make the QFs in the end with that win. A nice touch in the pre-game huddle when the call was "Wax".

[Frye]

It was always a massive risk to play this tournament in Brisbane at the height of summer.

Send the state house 9s back across the ditch and host it at Eden Park.

[Stargazer]

Great team try scored by Samoa's Mealoi! That's the kind of play you want to see in these games!

[Stargazer]

The pro-Reds reffing continues ...

[Stargazer]

Bridge scores for the Saders: 5 - 0.

Sydney had been hotter than Brisbane the last two days ....

[Stargazer]

Sione Fifita scores the Crusaders' second: 10-0.

[Stargazer]

Half time: Crusaders 10 - 0 Blues

[KiwiMurph]

I know its only preseason and hes only young but Trainor looks very very poor. Underwhelming. Im guessing Perofeta is injured? Think he had a niggle going in.

[Stargazer]

Manasa Mataele scores for the Crusaders. 17 - 0

[Stargazer]

Lots of handling erros by the Blues. Big work on.

[Stargazer]

Finally, the Blues get rid of the donut: Curtis scores. Crusaders 17, Blues 7.

[Stargazer]

The ref sounds exhausted. The only guy on the field who can't be subbed.

[Stargazer]

Try Pasquale Dunn for the Blues. 17-12 Crusaders
