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

[biggsy]

Wooooop

 

[Viking]

Liam Gill such a smart and skilled rugby player

 

[TOCC]

Jeez I'm getting sick of these TMO's

Too much influence on the game IMO

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Duncan P grabs his first meat pie.

22 - 17 after 55 minutes after Taefu converts.

George Ayoub almost involved.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Umm, massive knock on in that try?

 

[Viking]

I'm loving Powell's passing game. Hope he can develop a running game too.

It's the on field referee who is making poor decisions leading to TMO interventions.
That one was a clear knock on, somehow not seen by assistant ref and Lees.
Don't know why they award tries first and then check it again after. Bad refereeing

 

[Hugh Jarse]

LeeeeeeeRoy is on for Browning. 58 minutes gone.

Powell off for Cubelli.

It was called back for a penalty for a push after the knock on?

Where was the knock on?

 

[Ash]

Pretty sure Nabuli knocked on on the ground, but it was called back for Dargaville's push on Nabuli before that. Gill took the tap, wide pass to Kerevi, pass to Taefu. Where was the knock on?

 

[Ash]

Paia'ua has been good since he came on.

Reds are still too deep though.

Kerevi and Tui easily the pick of the Reds tonight for mine.

Great to see some impact from Tongan Thor though.

 

[Viking]

Lilo looking good!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Lilo meat pie for Ponies off a Cubelli quick break.

ACT 29 Reds 17 after Lili converts his own try. 61 minutes gone.

 

[Ash]

Cubelli with a clever dart, to Lilo, and try. All too easy for the Brumbies.

We've done better than last time though

The knock on occurred after the Brumbies had pushed the player in the back, the play restarted when Liam Gill took the quick tap.. It was the correct call

fair enough, I'm going to take that one back then, thought the penalty occured after the knock-on. Still, refs tend to let more of these things go, probably hoping for a try to be scored in the next few phases so they can go back and fix any mistake they might have might. It's silly, refs should either stand by their decisions or not go on and award a try in the first place.

 

[an observer]

Again our number 9 is the weakest link. His passing and kicking game has been woeful. As has his field game, the lack of urgency and decision making is extremely poor.

 

[TOCC]

This refs making some bad calls going both ways
