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

[Ash]

Lions free kick for Reds packing early.

Penalty ad for Quirk not rolling away, Farrell makes a break, tackled 10m out.

Lions lose the ball a ruck later, but the ref blows a penalty and comes back 20m for the penalty.

Since when is making a 15m break not an advantage?

 

[Ash]

Would be nice if the Reds had their Wallabies on the bench. Lions bench is a class above the Reds bench. Well, maybe a few classes above.

From first whistle to oranges: 55 mins, (for 40 mins of rugby).

Ref doesn't seems to bothered about offside 3rd or 4th man off the ruck

Shipperley makes a half break and the Reds get an advantage from the ruck.

Cooper quick tap to Davies, Reds at a million miles an hour until Beau loses it.

Goes wide to North, who makes a break but loses it in a cover tackle from Hanson.

Reds quick taps are definitely a plan. I suspect due to their woeful lineout.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Sexton on, who for?

AWH loses the ball in contact.

It is pissing down.

Sexton went on for 11 Kneebone (Bowe). I think he has gone into 12 or 13 with a general backline shuffle.

 

[ACR]

Typical Cooper pass..

 

[Scotty]

How good is it to see Genia as water boy. If only cooper was willing to do that sort of thing....




Hang on?..

 

[Ash]

Harris on for A. Finger. Interesting choice, I would have taken off Taps instead.

Solid scrum from the Reds. Short ball to Harris, who goes through a small gap and loses the ball.

 

[Ash]

Reds falling off a few tackles now.

Beau knocked out, time off immediately.

Beau does not look good there. And no wonder, just saw the head clash right on the chin. Ouch!

 

[Ted S Hunter]

Beau doesn't look really good here. Hasn't moved a muscle! Unfortunately for him, I think he won't remember to much of this game tomorrow morning!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The Energiser Bunny (Beau R) has been short circuited by foolishly clashing heads with Vunipola.

 

[Ash]

Vunipola doesn't look too healthy either.

Beau may have a fracture somewhere there.

 

[Blue]

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.

You can run until you are blue in the face in your own half.

 

[Ted S Hunter]

Golden rule of rugby, don't headbutt islanders, they will always come off better then you! Beau looks really crook!

 

[Blue]

The Sky commentators are going mental about the fact that Cooper is not in the Aus squad.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

That was more of a "chin-butt". His eyes are open, that's a good sign.
