Sloppy start
-
The first Brumbies maul try of the match
3 more? 4?

They get a penalty next to the posts and still opt for the lineout + driving maul. How entertaining.......
-
Bit of off the ball holding.and pushing by the brumbies a few times already.
That was too easy
-
Yellow?
-
He jumped into that making it worse.
Good pace but average defence
-
Good reffing. He jumped into it.
-
Harrison adds nothing on commentary.
-
Scrums on Brumbies ball are a shambles
-
Brumbies lucky there, Drua could have had 2 pens: 1 for holding and another for straight off feet.
-
I thought the Drua might be better than this. They look mud. When Baden Kerr is in your starting team in 2022 it tells you something.
-
@kiwimurph they do know its 15s?

I wonder how long this experiment will last.
-
Work experience kid as ref?
-
@antipodean tbf they did only start assembling the team about 8 months or so ago...
If World rugby are serious about growth they should be underwriting this and MP, I reckon they need min 4 years before you can start looking at killing the 'experiment '
-
@taniwharugby Yup, they need time, and more importantly, them and MP being there is of a massive benefit for Island rugby.

I wonder how many players were part of the Fijian Drua NRC team of 2017 - 2019?
-
Drua scrum is probably the most consistent part of their game, love to see the left wing with more space.
Some play and decision making very poor.
-
Wasn't there a pen advantage at the maul? Very short for being in the 22
-
I hate the "I've got no clear grounding" call. To me it's negative
-
SCRUM IT BOYS
-
Brumbies should get a YC, infringing all over the shop.
Drua 9 looks very average at passing.
Drua scrum held up pretty well against a pretty strong Brumbie one
-
Ah ok, so you get 2 warnings...
-
Forward all day, he had no forward momentum Plank.
-
Brumbies 42-3
Brumbies pretty average, Drua mostly rocks, glimpses of diamonds.
Think too many of the Drua playing with a 7s mentality leading to some really poor decisions and errors.
Big issues at 9-10 though, 9 clearance (starter and reserve) was too slow, and the 10 not really controlling things, meaning the backs got alot of poor ball.

Good for my picks, nothing else
