2020 Super Rugby Round 1 (REDUX): Reds v Waratahs

[John S]

That front row is going to be mullered

Definitely were in the first half.

 

[Up the Guts]

Swinton surely MOTM

 

[A mutterer]

cant believe first game back and were whinging about refs.

im just bloody happy is was a back and forth game of rugby either team could have won.

I have loaded up on the Reds at the line of -8.5. Knowing the Reds they will disappoint me by winning the game but not by enough points.

They've surely never had a better chance of ending the Tahs' winning streak over them though. For the Tahs to win this one in Brisbane with the inexperienced side they have and the way they were playing at the start of the season would be nothing short of miraculous.

With 5 minutes to go I was thinking - Braveheart has this.

 

[Derpus]

Geez Reds looked way more average than i was expecting. Congrats on the win though.

Maddocks and Wilson the stand outs of the match for me.

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

Its actually ridiculous how many times ive heard "7 out". Hooper consistently being told to move.

If you are surprised to hear lots of "7 out" from the referee, this might be the first time you've ever seen a rugby game.

Really? Not much ref bashing here I think.

 

[Drew]

Not a fan of these micky mouse 50/22 rules. Doesn’t add anything to the game.

Less surprised, more frustrated to keep hearing it.

I've got to say I was really underwhelmed by the Reds tonight... Tah's much better than expected. Us Aussies have a lot of work to do if they are going to match it with NZ.

Great to see some AU Rugby though and to see where some of the young players are really at.

Good keen Festival of Hate. Reds finally win, 12th time lucky

NSFW look well-drilled.

No wonder Thorn wasnt smiling. His Reds largely looked like an uncoached rabble.

 

[Drew]

Bell pretty far off being the next big thing. Maddocks pretty good as a 15, like how he runs tryline to tryline.

 

[grievous]

Pretty good hit out for the first one back

 

[Up the Guts]

I thought Harrison was very good in a beaten side (save that last chip kick), great pass on him and organised his team well.

CLearly the more talented side but not doing much with it

Fact that he can kick a goal is my favourite attribute

Seriously??

 

[pnut]

Offers nothing in attack

 

[Shaker]

Bell pretty far off being the next big thing. Maddocks pretty good as a 15, like how he runs tryline to tryline.

Thought Maddocks looked dangerous every time he had the ball, kicked well too. Might be a shout of a Wallabies 15 jersey.

 

[Up the Guts]

Seriously??

He could have had a peak Dan Carter game and you’d have been critical of him. How did the 3 tries through the 10-12 channel prediction go?
