QF - Blues v Drua

[Tim]

At least Funaki is available this week. Hope he starts the next two games.

McWhannell has been out due to concussion for a while now. Concerning ...

I think that you’ll find that what they are saying is McWhannel is now about to be out for longer than 2 weeks….

He's also a better kicker

I would disagree here. Funaki is a better kicker (and option taker, which comes into kicking) than Christie.

[Tim]

Maybe Christie will improve a lot with a game under his belt, but he was ass last week.

@Tim Why would one more make a difference after a hundred first class games..?

match fitness and pace - getting back up to speed.

I'm saying he's shit and another game won't make a difference.

[Kirwan]

Anyway, Christie + Funaki is > Funaki + Nock, so this is an improvement.

[Daffy Jaffy]

I see the Drua have gone with a 6/2 bench. A few teams have chosen to do that against the Blues this season.

[Daffy Jaffy]

Someone on Reddit is reporting that they hear Lomani is out, replaced by Matawalu with Koruvoli on the bench. A big loss for the Drua if true.

Nic Berry is ref

[antipodean]

@KiwiMurph IMO the pick of Aussie refs right now.

[NTA]

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

[KiwiMurph]

I enjoy how Vern Cotter somehow has a Blues hat that looks like it was made in 1996

[KiwiMurph]

In two games back Perofeta got carded vs Crusaders

Cost top spot vs Chiefs with a moronic kick

Now he's kicked off on the full

But he's starting over Forbes because why exactly?
