Super Rugby R4 Reds v Blues

[Dan54]

I thought his foot was still on the ground in touch when he caught it when I was at the game but haven't seen any clear video to confirm - the AR was watching the ball go over his head and by the time he turned around Reece was in the air. Just another example of everything going the Crusaders way on the night - as well as playing pretty well!

I wasn't sure if his feet were clear of line when he landed, but that is not what the problem was, it was lack of knowledge of laws, not a problem and I was joking to him how can you take notice of crowds howling for offside ar anything if they don't know the laws anyway.

The dirty jaffas are a strong looking side.

A great pity we no longer have Eddie Quirk and we could've watched a magnificent ranga v ranga battle of the breakaways.

This is the game I really want us to win, should be a cracker.

Saw Grealy warming up and was wondering what the deal was

 

[Adam84]

Fair injury list in the backline.
Missing Petaia, Campbell, Hegarty and O’Connor

Faark.

 

[dru]

Well. All the best Mac Grealy.

 

[dru]

Awesome work on turnovers, but christ, can we exit better than that?

 

[Adam84]

Don’t think there’s many long kickers in this Reds team, Henry’s kick to touch was ugly

 

[Adam84]

Stewart’s passing from 5/8 putting them under pressure early, going high and behind the man

Vunivalu done alright

 

[dru]

Vunivalu done alright

Grealy's exit earlier wasn't bad either

 

[dru]

Stewart distance finder good as well.

 

[Adam84]

the ref doesn’t seem to be enforcing release of the tackled player, couple of times the blues have held onto the ball carrier as the knee is on the ground

Remember, that knee on the ground to signify a tackled player only applies to NZ teams.

 

[kiap]

Nice run

 

[dru]

Oh yeah.

Think Timmy was right, iffy pass.

But AU teams have rarely been getting that 'rub of the green'.
