Super Rugby Trial: Reds v Rebels 17 January 2020

[Finsbury Girl]

So thats where Matt Gicquel is!

I'm torn! But he's a champion, Go Matty!

 

[Try-ranosaurus Rex]

Gee, I hope none of these rebels front row are expected to feature in the Soup team. They've been shunted around all day.

Well Dane Zander and James O'Connor are proving critics (me) wrong so far

 

[Bobby Sands]

Boy oh boy.

Missed the first half. Second half Zander looks like a waste of space. What happened in the first half?

huge scrums. Big hits in D. Good clean out work.

Nice so it seems just needs to continue on the fitness path.

I’m all for giving fringe players a run but for a team like the Rebels a casual observer may not know they aren’t playing their best players and will write them off before they even begin with scores like this. Then again, a casual observer won’t be paying much attention to a trial game.

 

[Wilson]

Daugunu looking lethal this year

 

[Bobby Sands]

Bring back the Force.

 

[gel]

Silly, silly, silly

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Great stream. Quality production. Great work QRU.

Good hit out by the reds though - first half looked really good. Not so dominant second half.

Don't really know what to make of the rebels though... Sheesh

Good little ground to watch at too - nice sized crowd for a work day

 

[PhilClinton]

How did Gicquel and Morrey go against their home state? I imagine both were at one stage considered for Reds fringe squad members but the talent in front was too good to pass up.

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Geez can't really take much from that. We played with positivity so happy with that. Roll on Dalby & those evil dirty 'tahs.

 

[redstragic]

What happens with red cards in trial games?

 

[The Nomad]

So thats where Matt Gicquel is!

Pat Morrey from UQ also with the Rebels wearing #8 . Great for him to finally get a chance , he was probably wondering if the opportunity would ever come , very happy for him !

EDIT : sorry missed the mention of Morrey above due to my slow typing!

 

[RugbyReg]

IT's an official game, he'll be suspended for a while. It was bad.

Can we organise 4 more trial games before round1?
