Reds v Sharks, Rnd 5 2020, Lang Park Sat 29 7:15 EDST

[Adam84]

Thats a deserved try against the Sharks, they were trying to milk a penalty by pulling back on the scrum. Pretty clear you're doing it when you step back like that and dont even take-up the strain

 

[molman]

Tate. Love it.

Sharks coach must be bald by now.

 

[dru]

Tate, was running through for that tap before the ref had even decided to give it.

Love it.

 

[molman]

Ouch.

Takeaway of the weekend. Australian teams are in dire need of kicking practice.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Until reds can compete better at break down this won’t end well

 

[Adam84]

Reds have had Dave Alred for the last two pre-seasons coaching kicking, not sure the dividends have been reaped

 

[molman]

I really rate Bosch. That was class.

Who do the Saffers use?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Duck reds are frustrating to watch

I felt Hegarty was improving but not longer in the starting 23.

 

[Rebels3]

Some very strange substitutions from the Reds. It’s almost as if he’s challenging his young players to win it.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Oh dear -

 

[molman]

That is just beautiful technique.

 

[dru]

I really rate Bosch. That was class.

Yep.

 

[cyclopath]

Practice? (semi-serious )

 

[molman]

. . .that one on the other hand was an absolute. .

 

[dru]

Reds still need to tighten up. Leaving too much space in tight and as things devolve it works for Sharks more than not. They will score a long range try at some point if it keeps up.

 

[Adam84]

ugh this is turning a bit dire for the Reds

Harry Hoopert being toweled in the scrum

 

[Adam84]

I would be offended by that penalty as a sharks fan, wouldn't have even been raised as an issue by the TMO if there wasn't a break in play
