Super Rugby Rd 6 Stormers vs Reds Sun 25th 2.15 AEDST

[Scoey]

Geez Tupou wants to start wrapping his arms!! He’s dodged two yellows the was they’ve been reffing them this season.

 

[Dctarget]

But that 2nd one by Thor will be cited definitely. That should have been a minimum yellow card, he needs to learn to wrap his arms.

 

[Dctarget]

Huge hits from the Reds coming in. Seems to be mini Brad Thorns across the park. But the game seems very tense and lots of argy-bargy between both teams, I imagine some shirt-fronting to come (and some YCs).

 

[Scoey]

That was a soft try. We aren’t controlling the ball well enough and giving up possession far too easily. We will only be a chance tonight if we starve them of ball.

Mhm feels like they've been reading their own press and think they're better than they are. Needs to go back to what has got them here, strong clever defence.

Lucas is struggling to be useful

Just a question, how hard is it to kick the ball out?

The Stormers want to play ball in hand, they want to play quickly, don't let them do that. Put the fucking ball out!

 

[Dctarget]

The ref is happy to call early engage on the opposite side from him, but when the Stormers go straight down in front of him he re-sets...

 

[Scoey]

Need to start scoring points soon or we’re done. We won’t be able to chase much of a lead I don’t think.

The referee is South African... -_-

 

[Scoey]

The referee is South African. -_-

In his defence he’s letting plenty go.

 

[Scoey]

What the fuck?! We get some ball finally and we kick it away!!

 

[Scoey]

Tackling the player without the ball? He was attached to the ruck?

If it were a ruck he was not onside.........

 

[Scoey]

No question. I don’t doubt the penalty it just annoys me when they get it wrong.

 

[Scoey]

54 tackles and 10 missed is a worrying stat.

See what happens when we play with the ball in their half! Great try Reds

 

[Scoey]

The line speed from the Stormers has been excellent but geez I think the offside line could be watched a bit closer. They are getting off their line a bit too quick sometimes.

 

[Zero_Cool]

If it were a ruck he was not onside...

I don't know Paia'aua was probably onsdie when the tackle was made.

 

[Dctarget]

Not a convincing half at all by the Reds. That final try was much needed but a very long way to come back from this. I have a bad feeling this could be a blow out with our fatigue setting in.

 

[Zero_Cool]

We've got to -- absolutely got to make sure the ball goes out when we kick it!
