Rd 8: Reds v Stormers Friday 5th April

[Adam84]

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) has been immense.

Agreed, great work rate, and bending the line regularly

 

[dru]

Based on 20mins of rugby, or have you tracked him more throughout his career to this point?

Is this assinine question for me? I'm commenting on this game. Like him a lot across his career. Tonight so far, solid.

 

[Up the Guts]

Sorry I'm not seeing it. Good. Solid. Like all the pigs really. But immense? Not for me.

He’s carrying the pack Akira Ioane style. No one else making the gain line and he’s held up multiple Stormers.

No, it was directed at the person I quoted

 

[Derpus]

Why they no kick goals?

 

[Up the Guts]

Scrap these mauls.

 

[Derpus]

Scrap these mauls.

Scrap every maul, ever.

Skills tonight are fucked. Both sides.

 

[dru]

I'm liking Liam Wrights hooking ability though.

Line out is good (love that we have 4 capable jumpers and a hooker who can throw even if he isn't hooking), Scrum solid, not dominant, kicking game fair. Defense is better than solid.

Game is something of a stalemate at the moment.

Apologies then. And I'll watch our 6 more closely.

 

[Derpus]

wat, advantage?

 

[dru]

Well half time and the Stormers twice denied on the line, but 2 tries up would not reflect the game. nil all is about right.

 

[swingpass]

Terrible game. Lucky to be nil all.

 

[dru]

YC to the Stormers Captain might make the difference on return from the break.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Liam Wright has shown some serious game smarts tonight. Good to see.

 

[dru]

Terrible game. Lucky to be nil all.

Snore fest, but not "terrible". There is some solid rugby happening out there.

 

[biggsy]

This is so bad to watch.
This is not Rugby after watching Canes v Highlanders

Oh come on. For the purist pig fan perhaps, not at all scintilating, but some serious rugby happening. Arm wrestle by matched opponents.

Better if they could hold onto the ball.

 

[swingpass]

Dru i'm a purist but this is testing my ability to extract the purity in the contest. Both sides look pedestrian, unimaginative and short on skills. Im backing the reds to sneak in at the end, 79 th minute penalty.

 

[Derpus]

Brillo from Samu.
