Brisbane City vs. Sydney Stars - NRC Round 1, 21/08 @ Ballymore

[Bairdy]

Good stuff this.

Good quality and pace so far but they seriously need to change the colours.

 

[TOCC]

I put colours down to teething problems, pressure from the broadcasters and common sense will see some alternative jerseys in time.

 

[Jeeper]

McIntyres defensive liabilities may get shown a lot more in this competition. Defensive structures are not quite there just yet for both teams!

Samu and Frisby are all class

 

[TOCC]

Sydney Star's players dropping like flies..

 

[TOCC]

I know its very early on, but hypothetically we could see some players push their cause for Wallaby selection on the EOYT from this competition, for example someone like Samu Kerevi

 

[Braveheart81]

Some good rugby so far. Two excellent tries.

Stars need to stay healthy to stay in this.

gee, not letting the 9 follow the ball through the scrum makes for a better game: not that the northern hemisphere will ever cop that!

Love it.

Crowd is getting excited and making a fair bit of noise at times.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Not sure if Brisbane City or Queensland Reds........

 

[Bairdy]

Peter Betham doing his Wallabies chances no harm tonight. It's like watching him carve up for Tasman in the ITM Cup.

 

[Jeeper]

Stars playing a very fast paced game, BNE cant keep up at the moment. They need someone other than Kerevi to rely on.

 

[Bairdy]

American film actor Jimmy Stewart barrels over.

Rubbish kicking by Stuart Dunbar for the Stars though. For three points, you'd expect the kickers to be better surely

 

[biggsy]

Is Richard Graham BNE defensive coach.

 

[Jets]

Everyone was writing off the Stars but they are looking the better team so far.

Dunbar' kicking has been poor but perhaps suggests kicking in that direction is very difficult in the wind.

 

[Jeeper]

There is a pretty strong breeze out there.. but the Dunbars goal kicking has been poor

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The back up lock for the Stars (Byron Hodge) is a very accurate place kicker.

Good brand of rugby on display. Getting a bit scrappy, but the intent is there.
