Queensland Reds v British & Irish Lions - Wednesday, 2 July 8:00pm

[molman]

I spoke too soon.

This seems like trolling. Not the thread for it.

Unsurprising that you can't tell the difference. But I guess you need to concentrate on which dummy account you use...

 

[Strewthcobber]

Tim Ryan had visions of Morahan right then!

 

[rugbyAU]

You know whos oddly impressive is Tim Ryan. He looks like a U15 playing in a All Age game, but he's really tackled hard. Decent one on Aki earlier.

He's been pretty poor this year

 

[Shiggins]

The kicking game is just another level. Maybe 2 levels. And that's without lowe, Hanson etc. They have a very good kicking game.

 

[PhilClinton]

And we thought the 30pt line was generous…

 

[Super Hooper]

Curiously, he just gave away a try

 

[A mutterer]

Pfft. You don't know the tahs. They'll make this an arm wrestle, keep the scores tight, just to build false hope they'll be super 26 pre-season champions.

Him & Jock both tried and each led directly to tries.. for the opposition.

 

[Shiggins]

Hahaha Itoje has not been that impressive. Got away with a few calls that should have gone against him. Lineout been ok but lost and won a couple. And he can't keep his mouth shut

 

[Shiggins]

He hasn't lived up to last years hype that's for sure

 

[molman]

Curiously, he just gave away a try

.... yep...

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Absolutely.

Would be 274/0 if played anywhere but the SFS. But because it is it’ll only be 70/5.

 

[molman]

... not sure how people are being critical of Itoje. Not his best game, but he's been in everything. Total pest.

 

[Derpus]

Yeah I thought he's been great.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Seems like no willingness to build a few phases then attack. It has to be right away. Reds have a decent enough pack to put 3-4 phases together and try and fatigue them a bit.

Any team would not mind a player of his ability.

You watch the first 60 minutes? Reds were getting up to 15+ phases multiple times and got sweet fuck all in return.

 

[molman]

Try, steals, intercepts, hitting rucks. His off the ball effort is top notch and this is so far from the best I've seen him play.

 

[Shiggins]

Whats the cowed size. Looks pretty bad
