Reds vs Cheetahs - 2011R06

[Ash]

From the Reds Member's Bar you mean? Nope. If I recall correctly, you need to walk up a few stairs to get out onto the stadium. But it is wonderfully air conditioned...and on the complete opposite side of the ground from where all the Ruby Members sit!

In the Force game, it was a freaking sauna. Before the game you could see the sun slowly track across the ground. When the shade reached where I was sitting there was a huge difference...but it was still a freaking sauna.

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Heat shouldn't be a problem. All of us who've played in the Vegas have played in conditions similar especially early in the season.

 

[Reddy!]

You should try being in the stands Reddy, it's like a frigging sauna. Does anyone know whether you can view the game properly from the Rugby Club at Suncorp? Am a member but have never used that facility.

I was there for the first game in the sun for 30 minutes, it was bad - but I'm talking about the players, they should be alright and anyway it has cooled down a lot lately.

 

[Tangawizi]

Not going to be a sauna today. Should be quite an enjoyable afternoon actually. Go the Reds!

 

[Jets]

Turning into a wonderful day to watch some rugby. Really looking forward to it. Reds by 30+

Conservative margin.

 

[Sully]

Don't get Tah'ry. We will take a win!

 

[cyclopath]

This will a massive challenge...for the Fox commentary team. Marto, Horan and Cannon have to try to swallow some of the "Redness" in their call!
Genia needs to get the ball out a bit faster - a bit meercat at the moment.

 

[cyclopath]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Reds play a little bit more structure - it is a bit headless chook at the moment. It might stuff the Cheetahs out, but they had plenty of gas last week. Get a platform, then use the backs.

Just for info Bloemfontein does get hot??!! Its not exactly a new thing this sunshine thing they get in Queensland.

Humidity aside.

Ha ha! I was thinking that before when they were banging on about it. It's not like they're Kiwis, FFS!!

Cooper is showing why he gives some the heebee-jeebees with his play. Some brilliance, and 2 absolute shocker no-look passes. And he just did not need to. Horan says you can't take it out of his game, I would contend he really should - his passing is way good enough without that stuff.Now the Cheetahs cop a poor call against them. Reds look very good in broken play, I must say. 17-3 Reds 30 mins down

 

[cyclopath]

Great play from Ioane then Davies for another try. Nice little shepherd from Tapaui, but it made no difference. 22-3 waiting for the Ole...24-3

 

[cyclopath]

Worrying for Daley - 2 penalties for hinging so far.

 

[rustycruiser]

The Cheetahs are pretty crap, eh!

 

[cyclopath]

Now a Cheetah in the bin, Reds in again for the BP before oranges. 29-3 with kick to come.

Maybe they over-celebrated after thumping the Tahs. They have looked less dynamic at the breakdowns this week, that's for sure. And they've kicked off into touch 3 times now!!!

 

[Utility Back]

Great play from Ioane then Davies for another try. Nice little shepherd from Tapaui, but it made no difference. 22-3 waiting for the Ole...24-3

I don't reckon that shepherd taps fault, have a look the prop behind has grabbed him and pushed him into it.

 

[whatty]

dam no alternative commentary channel.

 

[GC]

The whole backline is on fire. Fine performances from Horwill, Robinson & Fainga'a in the forwards. The highlight is definitely Diggers back to his very best busting tackles everywhere. The return of Quade's running game isn't too bad either.
