Tahs haven't won a SR game since August 2020. Big favourites for this one though
-
Kerr was a handbrake for the CM backline when he last played for them. I hope for the Drua's sake that doesn't repeat itself.
-
I'm going along to this as it is the closest game they'll play to my place this year.
Fuck the SCG for Rugby.
Fuck trying to get to Leichhardt Oval with three public transport options available. -
Baden Kerr next to his teammates will be pretty funny to watch
-
From stuff
Former Blues pivot Baden Kerr will be the Fijian Drua's only player with Super Rugby experience ... Kerr, 32, made the last of his 12 Super Rugby appearances for the Blues in 2014 -
-
^^^ If that is anything like the storm that hit out this way last night, there might be a stoppage in play.
-
Drua paying 4 bucks or something. Backing them I reckon.

Yeah I think they are going to surprise some oz teams
-
@nta said in Waratahs v Drua:
by the look out the window test, there won't be any rain during this game
-
@bayimports storm forecast has shifted later. Wind coming from the south now so unlikely
-
I thought the novelty of Drua’s first game would’ve attracted a bigger crowd
-
@duluth How many are at the ground?
-
Drua look really average.
Kerr doesn’t appear to know the laws.
-
@tim it’s just the usual shitty Tahs crowd
-
The dummy maul at the back of the lineout worked well
-
10-0 after 12 minutes. Tahs in after a pick n go.
Let’s hope the standard improves, because I’d say this doesn’t look anything about NPC level.
-
Awful pass.
-
Drua handling errors taking all the pressure off.
If they can hold the ball, they’ll be fun to watch, but they just have strung enough phases together.
-
How is that a deliberate knock down?
-
Yikes, Drua line out, scrum, kickoffs,
heaps to work on.
-
Good tackle from the Drua player on Blue 5.
-
The hooker can't dummy lineout throw eh? Swear that's illegal. Might be wrong but I feel like I've seen turnovers or penalties after that before.
-
Berry and co are only refereeing one team. A clear slowing the ball down ignored and then an obvious baulk from the NSW hooker.

Drua hard done by on a few occasions,the touch judge has come in with a few shit calls against Drua.
-
@bovidae wasn't Berry in the UK like 5 or 6 days ago? Thought Oz had strict quarantine like NZ!

@bones Gardner is back too and refereeing tomorrow.
-
Cant put anything together making this many unforced errors , i sense the Drua discipline will empload if this continues ..
Dont know if they have put 3 phases together
Izaia Perese and Samu Kerevi together at 13 and 12 would be a handful -
Fuck eh first game and we're complaining about the ref as neutrals. Berry is still so shit.
-
Silly stuff from Drua. Fair yellow.
-
Isn't that tackled without the ball on white 9?

That is a very soft card in isolation - was there a bit of niggle before in the game also?
-
@bones heaps of niggle. Drua are quick to get a bit aggressive after turnovers and penalties. Almost like it's a contact sport.
-
@yeetyaah send them to the netball courts with that agression.

Can you blame them? So many punchable faces in that Tahds side.
-
Clinical from the Tahs ,can only play whats in front of you ..just like i suspected Drua discipline starting to empload.
-
Watching from the stand, this isn't a great refereeing performance. Several rucks before that intercept were clear blue infringements.
