Rd 1 SRA 2021 Queensland Reds v NSFW Waratahs

[Rugbynutter39]

looks the energiser bunny 2.0

In many ways Hooper having a sabbatical could be a blessing to see what players like Tizzano can do....

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Nice try Reds - final pass looked forward though

 

[Scooter]

I thought the last pass was forward too.

 

[Adam84]

Yeah might have been forward, I’m glad they didn’t spend too long labouring on about it though and just went with benefit of the doubt

 

[dru]

Lovely pass, perfection.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Wow replay - bell tackling o'conner where does a prop get speed to get back and make tackle. Thought final pass to Jock looked forward but to me always prefer TMO has bias to attacking team so no issue from me.

 

[Adam84]

First scrum, big test for the Reds front row

 

[Rugbynutter39]

wow tahs fowards demolished in that scrum..impressive given many usual forward starters from Reds missing

 

[Brumbieman]

tizzano been busy in defence..

 

[Scooter]

First scrum, big test for the Reds front row

Passed with flying colours.

 

[Scooter]

Brilliant by Reds.

 

[Adam84]

Fotuaika and Zander get a tight head scrum, wow, big effort considering that’s the ‘B’ team front row

They’re big boys, but I rate HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Bell highly, maybe as the half wears on they might get ascendency

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Reds quality starting to shine through.....Tahs have a lot of new combo's/players so team cohension may take some time.

looked like they werent expecting the big push straight up.

loving the uptempo points focused play by both teams so far

 

[Derpus]

Walton having a mare.

 

[Adam84]

Reds team cohesion looking pretty bloody good so for first game of the season

 

[Brumbieman]

Great game so far, and loving Stan's coverage as well, been watching since 7pm and the pre game stuff went by in a flash, was genuinely entertaining.

I'm eating handfuls of wood shavings as I type, but i think the dawn might have finally arrived lads...

Yeh I do too which was why surprised....credit to Reds and their new young front row who are not the usual starters (and Seru, ASY (Angus Scott-Young) etc who also fit in this camp). But as you say not about to dish Tahs forwards on one scrum...

Started watching game on 9gem but as soon as got add mid game went screw you over to my Stan sport sub to watch.
