Queensland Country vs Melbourne Rising, Rd 1 2015

[Highlander35]

Meehan off for the deliberate knock down.

Thought it went backwards off, which isn't penalisable unless it goes dead.

But fair enough, killed the play.

Unfortunate for Metcher and hopefully it's nothing serious, but great opportunity for Fereti to get a full game under his belt.

So far he's been solid around the field, scrums not looking promising though.

^* the front of the Rising jerseys are ok, the purple provides a contrast, but the back of the jersey is all blue is too similar to Country...

The QLD Country alternate jersey is a bit of a joke,

QLD Country scrum are giving the Rising scrum a working over, if there's too many more penalties then the referee is going to have to consider a yellow card against Rising..

Rising backrow is killing Country at the breakdown though

Colby got screwed out of a turnover, albeit Country deserved that try off their set piece dominance.

Think our props are weak, but missing the ridiculously massive Jeffries/Neville/Jones/McMahon/Timani pack that helped the forwards so much last season.

Good halftime chat with Garrick Morgan on the fox sports stream at http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/nrc/nrcondemand.

24 - 18 half time at Bond, Rising pack getting monstered at scrum time.

Country No.3 runs it in as the Rising d parts like the Dead Sea.

Meat Pie to Fa'agase. Must have been 45 metres. By the end of the year it will be 60 metres, and when he is my age it will have been from behind his own line.

Good turn of pace from the big fella.

Rising 24 - Country 26 after 44 minutes.

 

[Highlander35]

No fluency in play without Meehan.

Back 3 didn't cover the quick turnover well enough and Fa'agase over in the corner after a couple of deft touches from Greene

Debreczeni throws a big intercepted pass, but its called offside.

 

[Highlander35]

Meehan back on, try immediately results.

Rising score again, 26-29 with kick to come.

 

[Highlander35]

Sa'aga dragged, Tyler on.

Fair enough, he's not a tighthead, and has been worked over a bit.

 

[swingpass]

34 -26 to Rising

 

[swingpass]

34-31 Rising, country in again

 

[Highlander35]

Passes that are 2 wide of the ruck are cutting the Rising defence apart.

 

[Highlander35]

Fatty just steamrolling the Queensland Centers.

 

[swingpass]

handling killing the Rising,

 

[Highlander35]

2 wide defence killing us.

 

[swingpass]
