[redveincheese]

There will be 40 penalties blown by full time the way things are going.

 

[Ash]

Another penalty out front for offside though, advantage being played. Mogg kicks from in front.

14 - 9, 30 gone.

If cooper misses this then please put the long range penalty attempts away

 

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent kick by Cooper

 

[ACT Crusader]

Not sure about that option Genia. Kick it to the corner and get the lineout

 

[ACT Crusader]

Pocock all over it. Bit lateral from the Reds off the set piece

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Bam Bam back to his best at the breakdown.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Not a bad first half by both teams. Good reffing also

 

[Dan54]

By geez, someone needs to tell both teams preseason is over, they just seem to be going through the motions with no intensity!!

Looks like Toua has cemented his spot at the back

 

[Ash]

Turner has been great for the Reds in the first half.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Looks like Toua has cemented his spot at the back

He seemed a little nervous in defence initially, but is exciting in attack.

 

[Ash]

Reds scrum on top, but Genia gives away silly penalty.

Alexander being beaten by Slipper.

 

[Ash]

Mogg kicks the penalty. 17 - 12 to the Brumbies, 48 gone.

Reds have had the better of the half but Brumbies score first.

 

[Ash]

Kuridrani with a dumb penalty, advancing in front of the kicker. Was lazy play from Tevita.

Cooper kicks the penalty, Reds leading 20 - 12 again, 50 gone.

 

[Ash]

Andrew Smith was replaced with a concussion.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies maul on top off a lineout, Quirk gives away a blatant penalty and gets a warning of a yellow. Stupid play Quirk.

 

[Ash]

And the Brumbies go off the top of the 6m lineout. Puzzling.

 

[Ash]

Reds give away a penalty for offside, in front of the posts 6m out. Holmes goes to the bin for it.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Team YC for Greg Holmes. Could turn the match.

J Mogg strolls in for a pretty soft but well worked set piece try.
