Drua v Crusaders
-
Shit I’ve never seen such a poor Saders side, atleast not for a while anyway.
The fundamentals were just way off.
-
Saders now have the Canes, Blues and Chiefs in a row apparently.
-
Crusaders seem to struggling with the basics, ball security and lineout.
They had enough possession and field position to win it, but struggled to finish.
-
Could be the worst looking crusaders team I’ve ever seen!
No idea what to do when they get the ball,
Way they are looking maybe go all super rugby season without getting a win -

Geez they could be staring down 6 in a row??

Standard Drua win at home where the away team can't adjust to the heat and humidity, especially the humidity which is an absolute killer over there.
Good effort out there from Christie and Havili, Heremaia Murray and Reece had decent outings but not a lot more else. Bell and Gardiner continue to disappoint, and Aumua doesn't seem comfortable adjusting to a new system.
Crusaders will be happy to be back home next week, I still wouldn't be writing them off just yet.

Things are not looking good for Crusaders. They look like a team of battlers with no X-Factor. This game must Frustrate the top brass. Armstrong-Ravulu went to St Andrews in Chch and has looked the goods since playing in the Fiji under 20 last year. Meanwhile without being horrible, Kemara has looked terrible and did not impress at that tournament.

@98blueandgold Yeah I think the Drua and Fijian rugby hit the jackpot getting Armstrong-Ravula. Did I read somewhere that he's Richie Mo'unga's nephew? He plays like him haha.
-
@African-Monkey He is African, grew up in Qld and went to college in Chch!

The Drua 14 is electric.
Two weeks in a row he has been their standout player.

Bring back Razor, please…..
Ruck and ball security atrocious.
Well done Drua, they played physical and gave us nothing.

The same forwards coach as last year, and their lineout mis-functioned badly.

@98blueandgold The Hurricanes didn't want, or couldn't keep, Armstrong-Ravulu either. With him and Muntz Fiji have some 1st 5s to go forward with.
