2 yellow cards against the Reds in one period of play
12-6 Reds
-
Now Tawake goes lol.
-
Oh and a Drua yellow as well in the same stoppage
A TMO triple play
-
@duluth That was all rather bizarre haha.
-
Shouldn’t it be penalty to the Reds? That was the last act of foul play?
-
@duluth Think everyone lost count haha but yes, I agree.. This is like watching an NFL game atm.
-
@duluth I believe they determined the shoulder charge by Red 1 to be the worst offence at it was late and no arms.
Foul play gets a bit murky when you can't just pull it up at the first instance and get the cheese out.
-
Two tries to the Drua and the contest is back on
Reds 28-23 10mins left
-
Jesus have a look at the Drua go!
-
Now 28 all with less than five to play
-
Bugger this was my biggest margin tip game
-
But go the Drua love upsets!
-
Time for the Reds to get ahead and hold out. Drua offload game got the better of Reds reserves.
-
Boo hiss Reds score a try!
-
Great finish
-
Seru Uru won't be allowed back into Fiji.
Good stuff, Fijian Drua.
-
Awesome Drua!
-
Great finish ..that 70 metre run from the lock was priceless, and the next try with the short offload for the winger to score ..Just gold..
Frank Lomani is great aquisition for the Drua team ..gives them direction -
Good game. Reds bench didn't help them. Drua bench lifted them after they picked their moment for the offload style.
From the first game drubbing against the Tahs this team has come a long way.
-
Everybody outside of Aussie has to be supporting this team! Probably the most popular club team ever concieved.
-
@old-samurai-jack Not quite, the Brave Blossoms will forever hold that after their demolishing of the Springboks!
-
@old-samurai-jack Oops, I missed the word "club" in your post but my overall point remains.

Pretty rude calling Japan a club team
-
Wonderful game
-
@machpants Well they were cobbled together from all points round the world!
-
@nta and yet the MP side that looks stronger on paper can't even get on the park week in week out to try and improve.
Is great for the game if these 2 sides are good
Baden Kerr won't want to see a replay of the 1st 2 Reds tries.

@taniwharugby That miss on Petaia for that try was the worst attempt of a tackle i have seen in Pro rugby ever. I would have pulled him after that.
