Blues v Drua

[Kirwan]

Darry still rushing up to make tackles in the 77th minute, huge workrate

[Tim]

@Duluth yeah, looked like Papalii hurt that arm again.

[Duluth]

Clarke has been very good. Loads of good involvements, 7 defenders beaten

[Kirwan]

Nice bit of luck there. Thanks posts.

Like another loose forward in close with the pick and goes.

[Kirwan]

34-10 FT. Happy with that

[Tim]

Wind getting up?

[Kirwan]

The useless ref let so much go, made the game messier than it needed to be.

[Tim]

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.

[Gunner]

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!!!

[Machpants]

10k was mentioned in the commentary, not sure officially

[taniwharugby]

@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.
