Reds v Brumbies - Take 1

[Wilson]

Disappointing end, but coming out of Canberra with a BP is always a solid result

 

[LeCheese]

I thought Petaia struggled at 15 with the drops and lack of involvement. moved onto the wing scored 2 and has looked far better, Campbell just more assured at the back.

Tonight absolutely, but previous weeks he’s been good

Surely Lolo should have set up for the drop kick. Settled for leaving Reds with a BP.

If the Reds had a Tight 5…

If only Giteau was still around…

Good win for the Brumbies. Tough game and they headed to=he points from start to finish.

Loved the Red pick up in the second half.

 

[Sam Old]

Enjoyable game to watch. Reds came alive in second half

 

[RugbyReg]

Wow. How’d we get so close? Genuinely shocked. That tight five gap should have made that a non-contest.

Asiata and Fa’agase both blew those tries. Really poor running.

Very happy with a bonus point away in Canberra with that team. Well done Reds.

Congrats to the Brumbies. Did what they had to do.

Brumbies should have been down to 14 if Doleman had a spine or knowledge of the laws of the game

 

[Adam84]

Well considering all the forwards missing from the Reds forward pack, I’m not actually that disappointed with the result

 

[Wilson]

O'Connor so slick, still just behind Gordon for 10's this round, but did it all in 40 minutes

I felt Rory Scott put in a good shift. Like what I'm seeing from him.

Brumbies let things get a little loose at points, it could have slipped from them, but they deserved that win.

 

[Lightblue]

JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor) MOM?

Steady.

 

[Wilson]

I like what I saw from Vest out there, might be a little lighter than last year but a lot fitter and more involved as a result

Three Queenslanders to be part of the RWC squad for 10; Quade, JOC (James O'Connor), Carter!

Hopefully in the re-match we line up with Jones, Blyth, Uru, Wright and Wilson. Might actually give us a chance to retain some pill at line outs.

For the reds I thought Wilson, Paisami, Petaia, Duagunu and O’Connor were really good. It’s just a lot of missing bodies in the middle that make it hard. I also think Wright is just not playing where he needs to be at the moment.

Next week I'd start Vest over Uru in the second row.

Fun game to watch. Happy it became a contest in the second half! Jordy a couple of dropped catches but so dangerous. And that was some bench impact from JOC (James O'Connor). As someone else said, great seeing him having fun.

 

[Ignoto]

Both Lonergan and Larkham mention a 6 day turn around.... Did they forget we played the last game of the magic round.

I wouldn’t. Vest was fine off the bench. Doesn’t mean he’s a starting super rugby lock.
