Reds v Highlanders

[ACR]

Player placing the ball on the line "was not on his feet", well no shit. Since when does a try scorer have to be on their feet?

I can understand not giving it "for not immediately placing it", as per actual laws, or that he basically rolled it onto the line. His reasoning suggests he has no fucking clue what law he's referencing.

Oh dear, Reds halves

Phipps/Foley v Chiefs - 7-8/10

Lucas/Lance so far tonight 4-5/10 at best

 

[ACR]

Commentators suggesting that us Highlanders fans not coming out has to do with our success rate against the Reds.. not the frankly abysmal ticketing options.

Agreed - no try for the reason you state. Maybe he phoned Jacko for an explanation while replaying it 5 times?

Oof, that scrum deserved some reward. That's a BAD miss.

Looks like the Highlanders are going to be expelled from the Promised Land.

Not so foul so far.

Bring it home, Reds.

Oh, and if the Highlanders did indeed want to see how good the Red scrum is, first hand...well, job done.

Awesome scrum Reds.

Hmm, take 5 of your best players out of the lineup, lose another through injury. Not too bloody surprising they're a little grim. I mean the All Blacks can get stuffed, it they can't beat France at home they can get expelled themselves.

Your thoughts on the ABs work for me.

I guess we should also note that the Red line out has been poor. Much poorer than it should be.

Tupou is just a mountain. Some tough decisions for Walabies selectors ahead. Which is good that we have options!

 

[ACR]

Is the Reds scrum always like this? Or is ours just piss weak?

It's a work in progress and we are without Slipper. But it's an awesome work in progress.

Panga Amosa is damn well a protege of Tupou - IN OPEN PLAY!!!

As a Blues fan I'm well familiar with performance going down the drain when key players are missing. But I'm simply following the Jewish theme of the night, you schmuck.

EDIT: And agree with the All Blacks against France. All this disruption for France C means 'first match rustiness' won't be an acceptable excuse.

 

[ACR]

Good job tv producers. Don't show the slow motion replay of the forward pass you ALWAYS show for the away team. That's about the 3rd "flat pass" the Reds have produced, quite the signature. Literally 2 in that passage of play.

15 - 15 with 20 to go.

Think I'll back Brad's fitness and the Red bench.

 

[dru]

So at this point, Brad's half time talk ws about position and smart kicking. But with possession we were nudging the line, a lot. Right now is anyone there thinking about things?

Maybe Perese.
