Brumbies vs Reds, Friday 1st of July, GIO Stadium Canberra

[Hugh Jarse]

Stephen Moore in a discussion about moisturisors with Ready. They'll soon be team mates. The old lion keen to establish who will be the alpha male when he arrives. The young bloke is not so keen to appease him.

 

[Ash]

Couple injury breaks so far.

Poor Hyne went off after 4 minutes with an ankle injury.

McIntyre's turn next, also an ankle. Taefu took the penalty but McIntyre is playing on.

Tui down now, but he is also playing on.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Meat pie for the Reds off a line out driving maul.

Ready scores, Taefu converts. Reds 10 Ponies 0 after 17 minutes.

 

[Ash]

Reds in off a 5m lineout and maul.

 

[Ash]

There was a hint of a shearing off from the Reds in that maul.

 

[The torpedo]

WE SCORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






























































































































































brumbies to score 55 straight points

 

[swingpass]

Ready scores from a rolling maul. reds 10 - 0
I see Andrew Leeds has not improved.

 

[biggsy]

i know how the Brumbie fans feel about Ben Alexender. For year this bloke tormented me beyond belief when he was a wallaby.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Reds are going to miss LF Gill.

He has made about 3 turnovers/steals already.

 

[Ash]

Can we all agree to stop this game now?

Thanks.

 

[Ash]

Horrible horrible box kick from Frisby, right into the Brumbies player.

Lots of errors, still. Kerevi's kick lands a few cms in, just stopping another error.

McIntyre down again.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Jack McIntyre's ankle doesn't look too good.

Who is the backup?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Just wondering how "Go You Reds" tastes coming out've every 'tahs fan's mouth right now? Like vinegar? Or worse, VoiBoi aka Visitor's Beer?

 

[TOCC]

Jack McIntyre's ankle doesn't look too good.

Who is the backup?

Duncan Paia'aua

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Jack Tuttle touches the ball down in goal to force a 22m drop out.

Former mungos usually try to bat the ball dead.

This one must be a keeper.

 

[TOCC]

No arms tackle?
Ah give me a break

 

[Ash]

Lots more turn overs. Dargaville makes a break off a real mess of a few balls knocked back from the Brumbies.

Tui steals due to no ruck protection, then the Reds dither too long, get counter rucked, and the Brumbies turn it over.

Then the Brumbies kick it too deep and it goes in goal.

Back to a soft TMO review against Gill for not using his arms. Looked like he did with his right arm, but it bounced right off. Penalty only.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Ponies kick a penalty after LF Gill penalised for a no arms in the tackle.

Red 10 BRU 3 after 25 minutes.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Gill plays so much bigger than he is. I often think that he'd be an excellent option at 6 for the Wallabies if we had genuine jumpers at 4,5, and 8.

 

[Ash]

10 - 3 to the Reds now, Lilo kicked the penalty. Still time to stop the game now!

Slipper was down before receiving attention before, as well.
