Won't make the Wallabies XV kicking like that.

JOC (James O'Connor) has to take over the kicking. That's three relatively easy kicks missed by Cooper.

JOC (James O'Connor) SHOULD KICK

Is BieberBoy's hammie good?

He was getting some fairly serious looking physio massage before.

Fuck, RG's game plan is all messed up now with 14man. I'm sure this wasn't talked about through the week.

great work from Liam Gill.

Only one of those kicks has been easy for Cooper, but he should have gotten 2 of them.

I think the reds have played infinitely better this game than I have seen all season. There are far more bodies in motion even with a man off the field.

We are at least holding onto the ball for multiple phases and gaining territory.

Re the Red card - I don't mind it being a red (striking the head is just dumb), but there have been any number of such swinging arms in other games this season that have attracted nothing more than a penalty so pretty bummed about it to be honest.

Ref has given Gill too much leeway at ruck time since Horwill went off.

That wasn't a Red Card

Red every day of the week IMO. Swinging arm to the head of a player on the ground. Should get 2-3 weeks as well.

 

[Ruggo]

Game hangs in the balance and now they have to face the wisdom of Graham.

Now I'm afraid.

 

[Highlander35]

When the argument is "that wasn't a red" rather than "that wasn't a card" it means that 99% of the time the decision was correct.

I agree it will probably get a few weeks. Striking the head fits the threshold for a Red card. The fact that refs apply it inconsistently doesn't make this one wrong per se. It's hard to see what else he was trying to do either. Just silly.

 

[Ash]

Whoever does the Res defensive patterns should be sacked, they are appalling.

 

[Ash]

Seven man Reds scrum and Genia is causing a few issues for the Rebels.

 

[Highlander35]

Has Genia been onside at a scrum yet?

 

[Blue]

Ah

No I think he hits the shoulder first

Oh good, Just so we''re all clear. You can swing for the head but if you miss it's all good.

Right then. Let's have some more of it.

Genia's box kicks are absolute rubbish. Put it away

 

[Ash]

Every time the Rebels go wide there's an overlap.

Big defensive tackles from the Reds gets a couple of turnovers.
