Pumas vs Wallabies - Sunday 9th October @ Twickenham

[HJ Nelson]

Kerevi learnt from his disallowed try at Suncorp and switched the ball from hand to hand nicely

 

[SDR]

Indeed, just what you want your 13 to be!

Yep. He is just about the only straight runner we have in the back line, Cooper, Foley and folau tend to drift acrosd to the outside - I think that's why people would like to see him closer in at 12

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Not sure, he keeps doing his weird upright chest-on-chest thing. Why doesn't he ever tackle around the legs?

I dont care how he tackles them, hes made all of his tackles and as long as he keeps doimg that im happy

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Quade is our 2nd best tackler so far after Lopeti timani with 6 tackles 0 misses

 

[Latts1992]

I wonder what the crowd number is. Looking at the stadium I'd say they'd be lucky to get 30k. Theyd have hoped for a bigger crowd there surely.

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Someone posted earlier that there was 45000 tickets sold

 

[KOB1987]

I'm genuinely confused by that criticism. Where was the part where he should have passed and didn't? He's been charged with busting the line and he's been doing a great job of that. I was sure it was his quick hands that helped release DHP down the right as well.

How many times has he killed the ball movement or tucked it when he should have given?

I don't want to be seen criticising him too much because he's among the first picked and I rate him highly. Especially now that he's got a double!

There was one time where he went to pass inside to hodge and it missed and then another time close to the line when he offloaded to an Argentinian.

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Our starting scrum is struggling

 

[KOB1987]

The old scrum penalty chocolate wheel

 

[TSR]

Fair enough - I'm not looking for a slanging match either - but I think he has demonstrated in super rugby his offloading is generally good and his base distribution skills aren't too bad either.

 

[KOB1987]

This ref is a fucking joke

 

[Gillys_ghost]

I'm pretty worried for our reserve props

 

[KOB1987]

Fair enough - I'm not looking for a slanging match either - but I think he has demonstrated in super rugby his offloading is generally good and his base distribution skills aren't too bad either.

Yeah, and it's not like our other distributors in the channel have been perfect either so maybe I'm being a bit unfair.

 

[KOB1987]

Has a scrum been completed yet?

 

[Chunderstruck]

I dont care how he tackles them, hes made all of his tackles and as long as he keeps doimg that im happy

Fair enough, but it seems like an easy thing to fix. Like, just say to him "mate, bend down a bit". His technique increases the risk of high tackles, which he has a history of.

 

[Gillys_ghost]

I think he tackles around the chest to try and win the collision and stop the offload. Your'e right though Quade has been carded and penalised for high tackles too many times for his tackling style to not be addressed

 

[KOB1987]

I'll reiterate - this ref is a fucking joke

 

[Latts1992]

No that was moronic from Phipps. You don't touch officials or staff.

 

[maxdacat]

Great tackle on the argie physio by Phipps!

 

[Upthenuts]

lol phipps, classy way to cost your team
