Reds vs Sharks

[TOCC]

i know its been said 100 times already, but how good is the Genia-Cooper combination getting.

Not just in terms of how they understands each others game, but in the sense that if one of them has a off game the other one has a blinder and vice-versa, not usually the case in a halves combo.

The Sharks did a pretty good job neutralising Genia by having there loose forwards place extra pressure on him, but that just meant it gave Quade more room to move. Quade was able to make so many breaks through the 10 channel because Kankowski and Co were focussing there defence on Genia.

You'll never see Kankowski putting pressure on 9s, he is a bcakplaying 8. Alberts also not a 7 and Botes the only forward playing 6. Was better in the second half when Kankowski got injuried and Deysel arrive and Alberts to 8. Thought the Pom Snail in 10 gave Cooper all the freedom to step but I wont mind him wearing the Wallaby jumper. Test rugby is something different and he dont look well towards the end under pressure. He may find a bit of pressure coming his way with Wikus van Heerden back for the Lions in tandem with Baywatch and the Brutes and Stormers games looming.

In a test he could be subbed in the second half by a player like Gits so it would be an adequate replacement. He also wont have so much inexperience around him so he will be less stressed

may i suggest you watch the sharks v reds match again, because he did it constantly throughout this match, especially off set plays like the lineout
