    Good first performance. Need to tighten up defence and lineout. Maybe give Sullivan or Plummer goal kicking duties.

    Hard day to kick, but I like Sullivan as a kicker more.

    Pleasing return for Clarke's new shape. Looked good.

    Fun game, Fijians looked dangerous with the ball every time they had it. But beaten everywhere else on the park.

    Job done. Drua always make life uneasy with their no fear style of play. They'll win quite a few again this year.

    A lot of good performers out there, especially our younger crop.

    Drua will need to do better at the set peice if they are to be a threat to the top teams.

    Is Sullivan in the conversation at 15 for ABs, who has the inside running with Jordan injured? Perofeta? Stevenson?

    Has to be.

    Perofeta is a big thanks but no thanks from me.

    Good crowd turned up in the stinking heat - anyone catch the official number? Me and a mate reckoned there must have been 10,000 there.

    Heeeaps of Fijian supporters which was good to see.

    Scrums do my head in, the length of time it takes to set one is ridiculous, then when they have to re set another couple of times….. yawwwwn!!!

    @Gunner yea i saw you sitting along from us.

    Was annoying they kept playing the music instead of letting the Fijians chant.

    Always good tonsee a decent crowd at Okara though!

    Pretty good game all up, thought the blues def struggled early in the 2nd spell and then when Segner went off it changed the blues breakdown work, best game I seen from Darry.

    For the Drua, thier hooker was thier best around the park.

    Not sure what was up with the turf, ripping up like it did, we don’t normally see that up here.

    Was out there with the kids for their ‘curtain raiser’, it was very hard and mown very very short. It almost looked and felt like an artificial pitch.

    My pick is the soil is just way too sandy.

    Encouraging performances by Sam Darry and Hoskins Sotutu, but the player who impressed me most was Mark Telea. He's all class.

    Haven't seen any mention of injuries so I guess they were just being careful with Dalton
