Reds vs Blues Rd 4 2016

[Pedrolicus]

Should be a try to the blues. It is. 25-20 with an easy conv to come. can the reds hang on 5 min to go. conv good 25-23

 

[Pedrolicus]

Reds scrum with the ball trapped in a ruck. A little over 3min to go. 25-22 reds.

 

[Ash]

4 minutes to go, 25 - 22 still to the Reds with an injury break for Neville.

Will resume with a scrum to the Reds 40m from the Blues line.

Mafi on for Ready.

 

[qwerty51]

These scrum penalties are dodgy as fuck.

 

[Pedrolicus]

yellow to the blues reserve prop mafileo green kicks the pen out around the 22m line with little time left

 

[ChargerWA]

Could the producer give us a worse angle for these scrums?

 

[galumay]

Scrum penalties are such a dark art.

 

[Ash]

Blues reserve prop goes to the bin for a scrum penalty. Reds played for that one without a doubt.

Greene kicks to touch 15m out.

That one actually looked like a right call, few others maybe not.

Mafi's throw in is picked off, way to low.

West chips from his 22 and it comes off. Blues hot on attack.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Now the blues have a lineout 25m out with 30s left

 

[Quick Hands]

These scrum penalties are dodgy as fuck.

90% of them are.

 

[Ash]

Penalty against Nabuli for an intentional knock down. Lucky it wasn't a yellow.

20 seconds to go, Blues 25m out.

 

[Quick Hands]

Scrum penalties are such a dark art.

That's one way of describing them. A lottery would be my description.

 

[Ash]

Hooter gone.

Blues 22m out.

Going nowhere so far.

 

[Ash]

Neville gives away a dumb penalty for not rolling.

Blues immediately break out but off a forward pass brought back.

Blues having a shot at goal for a draw.

 

[ChargerWA]

Shithouse call by Umaga to go for a draw.

 

[Ash]

Not hard to read Stiles' lips there.

Bit of emotion at least.

Kicked by West! 25 all.

 

[Pedrolicus]

I can't understand why the reds didn't go for another scrum after the yellow. would've drained the clock and they were seemingly dominant

 

[BaysideBird]

Shithouse call by Umaga to go for a draw.

Ihaia West wasn't happy at all...

 

[Chunderstruck]

Coach calling for the draw? What a softcock

 

[Ash]

Umaga looked relieved in the box. Kicking for goal was the percentage play without a doubt.

Simmons' call for a very deep throw off of their reserve hooker's first throw was a poor call. Way too low and easily picked off when it shouldn't have been.
