Brumbies vs Reds - Saturday 22 February 2014.

[Ash]

Brumbies call a scrum, smart play.

Marginal penalty from the replay, looks questionable.

Daley on at LHP, Slipper moves to THP.

 

[Ash]

Reds scrum rock solid, goes out to Mogg who gets outside his Reds player and scoots over in the corner.

 

[Ash]

Great play Brumbies, clever play with Mogg adding the extra man in the backline running across field at pace and then burning Taps.

Mogg misses the penalty.

By the way, Brumbies took three shoves at that scrum and went nowhere - was told by the ref to clear it. Stronger Reds scrum tonight.

 

[Ash]

It is 20 - 17 by the way.

FTA and Daley go to the front of the lineout and get a penalty for Alexander coming in the side.

Cooper lines up the penalty from out wide to waste some time with Holmes in the bin. He kicks it short after having it well on line.

20 - 17 to the Brumbies it remains, 57 gone.

 

[Ash]

Was that a tighthed to the Reds with a 7 man scrum?

Genia transfers pressure and Brumbies get a penalty 37m out halfway to touch.

 

[Tangawizi]

Brumbies call a scrum, smart play.

Marginal penalty from the replay, looks questionable.

Daley on at LHP, Slipper moves to THP.

Fucking bullshit on Holmes. He's unlucky there to say the least.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies kick to touch, 5m out but a forward up. Maul coming up.

Reds stop it well. Brumbies go over two rucks later, could be held up?

They were under an advantage though.

TMO to look at it, Leckie thinks it's held up, and warns the Reds of another yellow if there's another penalty.

 

[Ash]

Penalty was against Daley for entry. Brumbies kick to the line again, another 5m lineout.

Better maul this time, Brumbies get to two metres out but lose it forward after Horwill goes through the middle as it split across field.

 

[Ash]

Could be lucky there for Horwill, looks to have been a bit on the side as it sheared across field.

Horwill gets subbed for his effort.

 

[Ash]

Lots of changes, Daley stays on and Beau on, CFS on, Butler was also replaced by Mcaffrey earlier

 

[Ash]

Mogg catches Cooper's clearance with a foot on the line, lucky for Mogg there as he nearly carried it out.

 

[Ash]

Carter off, Power on.

Bench may be critical for both teams now.

Still 20 - 17 to the Reds, 65 gone.

 

[Moono75]

Who wants this game more.

 

[Ash]

White off with cramp, Hoffman on.

 

[Hairy Test Eagle]

The low percentage kicks are just dumb when your up by 3.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies better kicking game is pegging the Reds back.

Cooper unhappy with Leckie's scrum advantage call just earlier.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies on top as they stretch the Reds, nice from Fardy. Tomane forced out though as Hoffman tries to go blind as it wasn't on.

 

[Ash]

Alexander off, Moore off, Sio off earlier?

Entire reserve front row on for the Ponies - Siliva, Smith and Murphy.

 

[The Red Baron]

After moving recently and not currently having foxtel, I must say that you are a godsend Ash. Keep up the good work!

 

[Ash]

Power knocks on Gill's tackle, Power should've done better but was a good hit from Gill. Brumbies were getting better ball there and are in control, although still 3 points down with 10 to go.
