Reds v Force, Super Rugby Round 5, 2013

[Tangawizi]

Well played Force. Well deserved win.

Too many knock-ons and garbage low percentage options from the Reds.

 

[Paradox]

Cooper stuffed up a few times and got worse from there. He needs to improve his mental strength.

There goes the Siren.

Sandgroupers win. Fat Shiela singing.

Force 19 Reds 12.

Just like watching the Tahs.

Sandgropers. They're insects. Not cockroach-like, sorry.

Very proud of the boys going to suncorp and getting the points isnt an easy thing to do. Hopefully this is a small turning point but still plenty of work to do but things are looking up.

Make sure you bring that attitude home with you and bring it to the first home game next week at the new NIB.

QLD still a very good side and will be there at the pointy end with a heap full of key players to come back in thanks for the game. But 2 in a row against you really does feel good.

Bring on the cheetahs!

No excuses from this Reds fan. The Force well and truly outplayed us and deserved that win.

Congratulations to the Force.

They need a 10 who won't kick away possession.

Qwerty, you really need to give it a rest with the Quade hate.

 

[aussie1st]

Reds really are missing Link as coach, you wouldn't expect this performance from a side coached by him.

 

[Scotty]

Qwerty seems to have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to not only Quade, but all things Queensland.

Have you read Red comments on Tahs lately?

 

[rugbysmartarse]

To paraphrase the Simpsons, "you've gotta hand it to those force, they just wanted it more". Sorry for reds and, but congrats to the force fans. A famous away win that is thoroughly deserved

Have you read Red comments on Tahs lately?

And which, and whose, comments would you be referring to? Or is it a generalisation?

Nevermind, I would rather not get into shit slinging.

Then ten miles of shit........then the waratahs.

Well done Force. Could be set for fireworks next week with the Cheetahs!

Cooper needs to really lift his game immeasurably as well if he thinks he is going to get his wallaby jersey back. He is putting his forwards under enormous pressure by forcing them to defend for 20 minutes straight due to his repeated (and often unforced) errors, and not setting his back line for 20 phases (wtf was that shit?).

He is way better than what we have seen so far this season, and hopes he finds "it" soon.

Also, I wish people would stop referring to the Reds as the entertainers and being able to score heaps of points etc etc, because that has not been true now for 25 games.

They have changed the way they play and it is not an attacking style of game at all.

It is a tackle the other game with big hits and illegal offside and off the feet play to annoy the opposition into errors and hopefully get a penalty kick.

Force were the way better team tonight and deserved to win. Reds are bereft of ideas and do not deserve be where they are on the table at the moment.

*edit* I should add, that QC (Quade Cooper) was through a gap in the first half and seemed to not even notice before passing it to someone in the third row of the eastern stand. Still yet to see him do one of his trademark steps as well. he is waaaay off the pace. Good foresight for the try saver in the second half though.

Quite proud of the fellas tonight - they copped no small amount of grief after the Kings game and are progressing.

They've always played with a huge amount of heart. Now they're playing with starch - a backline that's coming together and torrid defence.

Where does the loss leave the Reds?

 

[Ghibli]

congratulations to the Force for a win that may change their season for the better.
have not seen the match, so cannot comment on the Reds performance (or lack thereof).
would have thought that with genia and cooper back together things would have been sweet for them.
