RD 13 Reds vs Blues, Fri May 19, 2023

[LeCheese]

It's never been a great field for holding together.

The trade off for great drainage

Crowd was small in Christchurch tonight too.

There was no game in Christchurch, it was Mt Smart.

 

[dusk]

How the fuck is that not a penalty?????

 

[Adam84]

Blues cynical again in their red zone, lucky to get away with that one diving over the ruck

 

[cyclopath]

You'd think a ref going to the RWC would know that law better. Penalty against Reds there just wrong.

 

[Dctarget]

This ref is riding the reds

 

[Fireworks]

Blues cynical every time Reds enter the 22.

 

[Dctarget]

That try was all class though

 

[dillyboy]

Flook!

 

[drewprint]

Quick Flook do some big ostentatious try celebration.

 

[Adam84]

Fa’agase lucky there, shouldnt turn your back on a penalty and walk back

 

[zer0]

Daugunu did really well to get out of that pickle.

EDIT: Looks like it was McReight who salvaged the situation. Disappointing one or two more Blues didn't just dog pile in like normally happens in those held up situation.

Geez Taj Annan is an absolute liability in defence, he has no idea.

Barrett clearly got the hard word midweek. Please stop kicking our rugby football away you mercenary ****************

Vunivalu is getting his cock and balls landmined halfway to Nutsack City Limits by AJ Lam out on that wing.

 

[Dctarget]

This ref is gonna make me go all Shiggins if he doesn’t send some love the Reds way

Proof positive that corrective bullying works.

Not that surprising, Vuni is a putting his hand up for captain of the airport XV

 

[NCT]

Compare right wings: Mark Talea and Vunivalu. One makes effective tackles, breaks tackles and offloads in the tackle. The other jumps for kicks and gets stepped.

 

[Marce]

Game on

 

[Adam84]

Reds doing well to stick in this and get a try before half time. I kind of like the tactic of subbing on fresh front rowers at 35mins
