Hurricanes v Reds Sat 23rd April

[Ignoto]

Tate needs to start directing Creighton what to do. The momentum swinging back to the Canes stems from Creighton throwing that speculative cut out that was grabbed by Julian.

 

[Pokinacha]

So how is TT propelling himself forward off a knee a penalty to the H’canes and yet TJ attempting to propel himself twice not? Regardless that TJ weighs a 5th of what TT does…

 

[molman]

Red's should be filthy with that scoreline. They are playing much better than the Canes.

 

[Dan54]

A bit closer, thought the Reds were going to run away with it, but then Reds lose a bit of disipline under pressure, and thing close up. Cane may need to ask Morgan to stop throwing hospital passes so ofetn.

 

[Wilson]

Good time to settle down and get their heads on straight, this is the Reds game for the taking

 

[Beer Baron]

Fuck I'm sick of rolling mauls.
Wish World Rugby would spend the effort they do on head contact on rolling mauls and caterpillar kicks....and never ending penalty advantage.
Makes it hard being a rugby fan....

Seems to be at moment doesn't it? Canes pack struggling, Gibson and Howden struggling a little.

Yep, but what to do? You outlae mauls, and forwards just block up bacline.

Handshake agreement??

Yeah, the Cane's issues at hooker have meant their lineout is going as a bad or worse as the Reds and the scrums are at tipping point, one sub in the front row for the Canes and they might crumble. Reds need to be much smarter with possession though, there's still plenty of firepower in that Cane's backline to punish silly passes and dodgy kicks

 

[Wilson]

Handshake agreement??

Boat race

Make it so as soon as the maul isn’t going towards the goal line, not sideways, the half has to use it. If it stops once and goes again, scrum to the opposition. If it doesn’t get moving initially, same

Even as a Reds fan - McReights try wasn’t great. I think he and Hoopert had disengaged from the maul and Hoopert essentially gave him a free sheppard over the line.

Yep if the defence makes a wrong move, bang it’s a penalty.

 

[Beer Baron]

Since when can a touchie award on behalf of the ref?? The ref didn't do anything, just blew the whistle and gave advantage to canes

 

[molman]

Well that's not the start to the half we were after.

 

[dillyboy]

fuck

 

[dillyboy]

I don't care it went backwards - how about deliberate knockdown!

 

[cyclopath]

Hmm, that ball went forward on that last replay.

 

[Wilson]

The rule is clearly not fit for purpose if that's play on

 

[dru]

The ruling around the slap down has honestly got me beat. Second one like that this game.
