Im going to sleep well this morning after the Game.

I've just gotten home from a fabulous Bon Iver concert at the Tivoli, so the adrenalin's up and I'm up for the 1:05am start.

Love the pivoting uncertainty of top rugby games; we've had a week of good argument as to who'll win and why, now the moment of truth is here and no is sure of anything much....

 

[Slim 293]

Once again... an assistant ref misses a massive forward pass that then leaves to a try...

Why is it that these guys are nowhere to be seen when they're needed, but interfere when they shouldn't?

 

[biggsy]

What forward pass,

At this stage we have bombed 2 meat pies. But looking good for a bonus point game.

 

[biggsy]

They also miss knock on's and which lead to a try

 

[Slim 293]

I was just about to say...

That knock on cancels out that blatant forward pass...

 

[Godfrey]

Ioane probably should have got a red there - very bad spear.

 

[Slim 293]

The decision was pretty consistent with what's been ruled on recently with a couple of other similar style tackles...

I think a yellow or penalty is fair with a red being reserved for when the player is lifted well beyond that horizontal and dumped...

 

[biggsy]

Its funny the shorkes number 7 got a penalty for a purpose shoulder charge on beau and diggers got 10min for a great tackle.

 

[tigerland12]

Shouldn't of let them back into it those last 5 minutes. But we are looking good.

Robinson and Samo don't seem to be having much of an impact so I'm wondering when we will see Gill and Shatz. We have a very strong bench and should be pushing for a bonus point once we get a 13pt lead or so.

 

[RedsHappy]

Genia's poor kick forward to gift possession unnecessarily led to the majority of our backwards movement on last 7 mins or so...reminds me of his ill judged box kicks in RWC...

 

[Slim 293]

Its funny the shorkes number 7 got a penalty for a purpose shoulder charge on beau and diggers got 10min for a red card illegal tackle great tackle.

Fixed...

But I don't think it was worth a red...

 

[RedsHappy]

Opening next 10 without Diggers will probably be our toughest 10 this year looking at how the Sharks are likely to exploit it.

 

[Ruggo]

Lucas looking damn fine at 10. Dicsipline has been excellent and ball control not bad given the weather.

Our bench will slot into this game nicely. Just don't lose another back.

 

[Slim 293]

Big blow for the Reds there...

Having a 5/2 split on the bench is certainly a risk but it's damn unlucky to lose both playmakers...

 

[Tiger]

We are in real trouble here - no talk of 13+ wins from me. - will be very very happy if we get a win

 

[biggsy]

Harris lucs off, bloody hell. Time to defend.
I cans see another 10min soon

 

[Slim 293]

Geez... that was some try...
