29-3 vs Samoa after 25 mins

Still believe we're the 2nd best side here.

Our defensive restarts are terrible.

Holy shit a Samoan just kicked Pulver in the face on the ground.

 

[TOCC]

what the fuck, kicking a player in the head when he is on the ground... get off the field you idiot

edit: on second look it almost appears as though he was going for the ball, should still be yellow carded, stupid play

They've been pretty dirty all tournament.

NOT EVEN A PENALTY!

Reds should offer contracts to Lacey and Kellaway for 2015, those guys have some real talent

 

[swingpass]

I suspect Lacey is locked in at the Force

You can try and sign Lacey. Kellaway is well and truly earmarked for the Tahs next year from what I understand.

Yes, re: AJ Kellaway, as the incomparable LG said at #4010 of the Tahs 2014 thread:

I think Cheika has an armed guard around his home and tanks are down the street.

He's been identified by the Tahs for a long time and so has another lad, still at school (whose name we won't mention in this thread.)

.

As a product of the West I'd be surprised if the powers that be at the Force haven't taken a similar passive stance with Lacey.

RHP is one for the Force as well.

 

[It is what it is]

Young Sandell was playing first grade prop for Sydney University last Saturday.

Fairly impressive for a lad in his first year out of School to be in the run on team in a Shute Shield First Grade Front Row.

Yeah not bad, but the benchmark remains Nick Shehadie who debuted as a 1st grade prop at 15 years of age for Randwick.
Now that's impressive.

Scotland upset Italy in the 9 v 12 playoff 21-18 to move onto the 9th place final and secure their position at the 2015 U20 WC in Italy.

Thank fuck.

2015 U20 WC in Italy.

That's why Italy lost.

 

[Highlander35]

That's why Italy lost.

Well aware. However, I was still pretty confident of beating Fiji. As incompetent as we've been, Fiji have shown deficiencys worse than ours. Just glad it's not a nervous wait, and we could hopefully pull off another one next game, as unlikely as it will be.
