SRAU RD 8 - Reds v Brumbies

[dru]

That shoulder hit the head as direct as it gets, I don't know what they guys are on about

It was clearly unintended. It impacted nothing, including the tackled player. Yes in 2021 it's a penalty everyday of the week. But there is an alternate universe where it is considered a rugby incident - play on.

But yeah, Penalty for sure in the real world.

Petaia having a fabulous night (even with a few D mis-reads)

 

[Tomikin]

Let's go boys

Petaia having a fabulous night (even with a few D mis-reads)

i think its probably one of his better games recently, and mostly his d has been great hits to stop some certain tries

 

[Derpus]

Petaia with two clutch plays in a row

J

Hes been immense. Carrying and defense. 100% Wallaby 6 at the moment.

The flop onto Petaia after he scored the try was particularly impressive.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Good option, take the three

 

[Derpus]

Asiata has made a few key errors

 

[Dan54]

You miss my point
If you dislodge the ball in a tackle with your hand is it a loose carry or is it the tackler who has propelled the ball?
You can’t blame the tackler if the ball goes behind the ball carrier but then blame the offensive player if the ball goes behind the tackler
It’s two opposite rules for the same situation

Yep I understand what you say, but it different when ball is dislodged by hitting the arm of carrier, and actually hitting the ball.
Well form what I have always understood anyway.

 

[A mutterer]

fuck me, the reds loosies are lethal together

 

[dru]

Hope Samu is OK. Not a good sight on a rugby field.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

I'm sure I've said this elsewhere, but so good to see competent kicking with purpose in Australian rugby. Both sides have displayed it tonight, though I'm probably noticing O'Connor's more with my Reds bias.

 

[Tomikin]

Game on Reds should win this.. but Brumbies are in pocket.. what a game

 

[Ignoto]

Did Samu not go off? Surely that's the biggest con of a time waster.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

And then we hand the pill back to them in the midfield faaaaark

 

[Tomikin]

They both hit the ground before the ball

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Um. Drop goal? No?

 

[A mutterer]

wp reds, well deserved win just ran over the top of the ponies in the final stages

 

[dru]

Well Brumbies are going to feel that.

I'd love to say the better team won, but both teams deserve the title "better team".

Great game. Well done all.
