Bulls v Reds, Rd 9 Sunday 12 April 2015

[Tomikin]

Reds previously dominant scrum somehow gets munched on half-time and gives up their own feed 10m out from Bulls line. Wtf.

Yeah, I Don't know what happened there but, that's been the Reds season.. I don't think they have played particularly bad, but I couldn't tell you what their game plan is. Genia picks it up and passes to anyone. they get tackled.. Rinse repeat.. Running forward being optional

 

[Tomikin]

Reds start well then the THP gets a steal channeling his inner 7..

 

[Tordah]

law question: is that correct, that you have to take a ball cleanly when you're having a foot in touch in order to get the kicker's team to concede a lineout where he kicked? I know you need to catch it cleanly for a mark, but for that? would have thought as soon as you touch it, it's out, because you're out, so lineout to your team. Don't know though.

Don't have a problem with the ruling either, as it basically punishes you for not catching cleanly (=sloppy play not rewarded)

 

[Tomikin]

Im not sure I can sit through another 40 mins of this, it's depressing no Aus teams won this weekend... Good God..

 

[Tangawizi]

Reds in as Genia crawls over! 24-12 after 46mins

Dunno..

Massive Scrum Reds and Genia runs and scores under the posts.. and kick converted 24 - 12 Bulls

 

[Tomikin]

P.S I agree with you, his out when it hits him..

 

[Tordah]

that kick by Genia was the best thing he did in 2 seasons

 

[Tangawizi]

And now Frisby's in. Suddenly we're back in it!

 

[Tomikin]

Maybe I called it too soon, Reds in again Frisby .. Good Try..

 

[Tangawizi]

But some atrocious defending and we concede a penalty straight away. Bulls kick to corner, try drive it over, Thomson gets a yellow....

 

[Tomikin]

What was that restart Reds decide to not tackle even though there line was in tact. Reds give away the pen, Maul and then Reds pull it down.... Thompson goneski..

probably pen try as well.

 

[Tomikin]

Bulls over up to the TMO, I think its a try.

 

[Tordah]

nah, disagree with that "try". Not really immediately and looked like a hand under that.

 

[Tomikin]

Although I don't like the fact he made one call and judge that call on something that happened earlier.

 

[Tangawizi]

Give it but that looks completely inconsistent with the ruling in the Crusaders v Highlanders match.

That's bonus point for Bulls. Kick missed 29-17.

I think your right I think he got it down.. but he was tackled and needed to release.

 

[Tangawizi]

Reds in straight after. Bonus point for us! But since Lachie keeps missing it's 29-22

 

[Tomikin]

Red's in Sami gets a great ball from Taps and then the Big Bastard from south africa I don't know his name scores.

bonus point Reds.. 29 0 22 Bulls kick to come.
