Battle of the Blood Red: Lions v Queensland Reds 8th June 2013

[Moono75]

Lions opportunity only good on counter attack.

Despite the helter skelter coming at them the Lions are composed enough.

This is clearly not their best team though but they should just keep it structured and the Reds will run our of ideas.

 

[Blue]

Hope Robbie is watching this and makes a big note in his play book, RUN THE BALL! The lions do not like running their guts out! Also if this fittest, fastest back row, Hooper, Gill, Mowem and Dennis will have a field day with them!

Really? What has it done to run it all the time? The try was from a breakout and one guy's brilliance?

You have to mix it with field position and the Reds have failed there.

 

[Moono75]

Go Reds!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Can we keep Morahan please? Force owe us a favour.

Another Red backing out on a contract with the Force. You got Sanchez back, and now you want Moz back. The Westies will be getting a little jack of Qlders changing their mind.

Yeah, they look afraid to kick it and clear. Running it is definitely a game plan, but some of it is near suicidal.

Doesn't help that their lineout is being dominated as well.

 

[Ash]

Nice cross kick from Cooper to Morahan, but he's well covered.

Morahan drops one now, wide to Bowe but Lucas has him. Lions hot on attack.

I think it's a good option the Reds are over doing it.

Ferel gets turned over

 

[Pedrolicus]

Great chase by Davies

 

[Ash]

Someone needs to teach Quade how to pilfer a ball.

Lions 5m out, rattling up the phases. Beau nearly steals it but loses it. Lions go backwards a bit, 15th phase, and the Reds turn it over. Frisby clears, Davies forces him into touch.

lol clear knock on missed. AR??

 

[ACR]

Cooper's ability to get away with forward passes is almost as good as McCaw's industrial ruck work.

 

[Ash]

Morahan off, Cooper flicks it on but it hits a Lions player and it's a turnover.

Farrell kicks to the corner, finds touch 20m from the Reds line.

Is it Jackson on this side?
Lions seem to have lost all shape.

Looks to be pissing down. Can anyone tell?

Reds lose another lineout but get a free kick.

 

[Ash]

Nice kick from the Lions, now Reds 6m from their line.

That was a poor clearance from Lucas but he didn't have much choice.

Reds win their own lineout this time.

Cooper clears to the 45m, but doesn't find touch. Cuthbert taken by A, Finger.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Cooper needs to play some conventional rugby from time to time. Trying the miracle ball high risk stuff every time is reckless.

 

[Ted S Hunter]

Can someone make Quade and AF become one. If someone could attack like Quade and defend like AF, we would be sorted for 10 years!

 

[Ash]

Sexton on, who for?

AWH loses the ball in contact.

It is pissing down.
