Round 3: Reds vs Chiefs, 6:45pm AEST - Saturday 9th of March @ Suncorp

[Confucius Say]

Epic Reds. Should have won by 20

 

[Dan54]

Good win Reds, reminds me so much of last years one that I was at. Well deserved.

 

[dru]

Just fantastic work Reds. Doing it tough, doing it the hard way, back backing themselves all the way. Huge win.

 

[Oracle83]

Does OKeefe not want to disable his IG comments so he's giving his fellow counryme all the calls.

HMP the difference

HMP the difference

Kids a stud. I know he comes on a different stage of the game but gee he’s good.

Going to have plenty of teams knocking.

 

[Sword of Justice]

HMP is so flushed he’s totally purple. Instant legendary play he’ll always remember.

 

[PhilClinton]

Chiefs 22 phases within the Reds 10m and couldn’t score. Nothing to complain about there.

Great for the Reds to hold on there.

First time in a while I’ve thought the Kalani Mitchell sub was a great move. He put in a great box kick and made some good decisions in attack and defence.

 

[Oracle83]

JTA a huge performance

 

[NCT]

Great effort by both teams. Reds did well to hold on at the end, very good defence. Surprised that Faagase didn't get carded for that head clash.

 

[dru]

Chiefs are going to need a whole week for recovery, going to be some sore bodies there now coping with a flight. Tough price for a loss that they will have to be thinkign should have been otherwise.

You wouldn't think that the Red pack was giving 50kgs away.

Yeh he seems like a great pickup.

Scrums were immense and his general passion and energy was seriously noticeable.

Surprised the chiefs 6 stayed on the field too but glad he did because he knocked on twice!

 

[drewprint]

So great being here live for that one. I felt that familiar creeping terror of the late, heartbreaking loss to a Kiwi team that Australian rugby fans know so well, but so proud of how we hung tough. Can’t wait to watch the replay!

Also great hearing how vocal the fans were, particularly that mega roar at the end. Go Reds! Go rugby!

 

[dillyboy]

Fuck yeah!!!

 

[drewprint]

JTA a huge performance

Massive. Pumping up the crowd when the final whistle blew too. So good to see.

 

[Derpus]

Isaac Henry looks like a very hand player at 12. Really powerful in contact and seems to have some pace as well.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Lynagh made some big handling errors but on the whole I thought his eyes up management was crucial to putting us over the advantage line and giving us momentum. His defence is really underrated too. Regularly gets bigger bodies down.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Full credit to the Red's defence and discipline at the end there, but what were the chiefs doing?

They seemed like they were trying to kill the clock with slow one off hit-ups for 3 minutes. Didn't really challenge the Reds at all.

Was the plan just to get a random penalty somehow?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

It was give it to D-Mac and hope. He gave it everything tonight for the Chiefs.

Bit of good Karma for last week for the Reds. Bounce of the ball to the Reds and a few simple missed kicks.

Tough bugger to get up after that hit
