Perofeta seems better from out wide but anything from in front or even 10m either side of the posts appears near impossible for him

That's what makes it appear even worse - missing the very getable ones.

I find it easier for my mental health to assume he's going to miss every kick.

[Snowy]

@Kirwan And a fairly accurate assumption too.

MacDonald confirmed Black, the most accurate of the Blues’ goalkickers, would get the kicking duties.

Three for the price of one: Is this the playmaker combination that can get the Blues back on track?

The Blues created only one clear chance in their defeat to the Crusaders – and scored from it through skipper and lock Patrick Tuipulotu. Now, in a major reshuffle of his backline, Leon MacDonald has named three playmakers in a bid to unlock the Bulls' defence

Hopefully Narawa gets a decent amount of ball. He had some freakish moments during the NPC

This video is only from the Northland match but it gives you an idea about his balance/swerve etc

[pakman]

@Duluth Lovely body swerve AND soft hands!

[KiwiMurph]

Looks like rain forecast.

I'm picking a tiny crowd.

[Rebound]

Is anybody watching the Stormers v Jaguares. Yet another advert to ditch this bullshit system of home country refs. Ref Rasta making up rules and disallowing a fantastic Jaquares try

[Rebound]

I mean if your refs are incompetent most of the time, neutral refs are just a no brainer

[Stargazer]

Just tuned in. Is the ref Nic Berry?

[Stargazer]

There's hardly a crowd; all those empty blue seats ...

[Stargazer]

Most boring 20 minutes of the 2020 SR season that I've watched thus far. Maybe that will change now that Ferreira has been sent to the bin.

[Stargazer]

Shoulder charge? Where was the direct contact?

[Stargazer]

Looks like direct contact with the head. What colour of card? Red?

Looked like direct contact shoulder to head to me - red coming up?

[Stargazer]

Hmm, Narawa ducking considered enough mititgation. It's a yellow. Bulls down to 13 men.

[Stargazer]

If the Blues don't score now, they're not worth a win.

[Victor Meldrew]

YC seemed fair.

[Rebound]

WTF. Where's the duck. Farrel dipped far more than this and it didn't matter. Really why must we bother with this shit this ref has rewritten multiple laws already this galf

They rarely disappoint...

[Stargazer]

Just when the Blues get a line-out close to the Bulls' try line, Ferreira comes back on.
