Imagine how good Clarke could be running at full pace into gaps and away from tacklers.
And be able to hold the ball and not slip over too often

Job done - hope the injuries are not as bad as we first think

@NTA said in QF - Blues v Drua:
Truck me commentators talk some shit in the pregame.
"Reiko Ioane has put away the flair game so he can concentrate on getting over the gain line"
He can't fucking pass. That's why they told him to stop trying
Unusual approach, given the typical response is to try them on the wing. Oh...

I enjoy how Vern Cotter somehow has a Blues hat that looks like it was made in 1996
Has he managed to spend all day out fishing or did he have a wrestle last night with bottle of scotch?

@Tim TBF, him along with most of the Drua were looking behind where Dalton was
More to the point, watch where Renata was in that maul. The refs pick and choose when they penalise lifters being in front of the jumper when the maul forms.

Akira Ioane's calf tightened up. Tuipulotu needs to be evaluated tomorrow. Darry and McWhannell should be available. Heem might be available too.
We miss Heem's direct lines.
I thought lam was bloody strong, some great tackles and busts

Agreed. Forgot to comment on it last night but he was responsible for snuffing out a lot of attacks.
-
@Machpants Is he a potential AB bolter somewhere down the line with his ability to play both wings, centre and 12?
I mean, it's unlikely, but last year's mob picked Dallas McLeod in that role to start the season and no disrespect to McLeod, but AJ Lam is twice the player he is.
-
Was impressed with us last night. Obviously we've had better performances, but the Drua put us under a bit of pressure in the 2nd half and I thought we handled it very well.

@Kirwan Helps that he's been given a regular go at 10 for the first time in his career. He got unfairly written off after his rookie season.
