Vunivalu concedes a yellow and a penalty try.

Reds are under the pump early

[African Monkey]

Good half that, plenty more points n this one I feel.

Suliasi Vunivalu doing his best Vinnie Jones impersonations today.

[Stag]

The cynic in me would almost say that Fijian Vunivalu has done that on purpose…

[KiwiMurph]

Bad result for the chasing pack trying to crack the top 8

Totally

Probably kills the crusaders, need 9 or 10 points now from three games, plus whatever the Drua get. Not impossible, but very very hard

[African Monkey]

Important win for the Drua. They defend a lot better in their own backyard for some reason.

I take my hat off to him though, it’s truely rare to get YC’ed twice in the one game for the same offence.

[African Monkey]

@ACT-Crusader Especially that offense.
