Yeah that last knock down should have been a penalty.... by the standard that the referees had set in the first 3 rounds

John Mitchel coaching seems to have built some subtlety. Not exactly Link-like, but he has definitely adjusted structure and game plan between Lions and the Reds.

Reds looking OK.

He called a penalty on Nabuli in the first 5 minutes for the same sort of knockdown. Bit of consistency Nutbrown.

By the standard in this game - Nabuli got done for that one earlier

Lucky only to be 4 points down IMO. The back line needs to be unleashed if were going top be a chance here. Either that or tight defense and a war of attrition in the forwards.

Whatever rule they decide to go with i'm happy.... Just officiate it consistently, not haphazardly because its frustrating for the fans.. Lack of consistency over interpretations of the laws is a serious blight on the game at the moment ... Which tells me the referees either aren't educated properly, or the rule book is too complicated to have a consistent understanding of laws.

Lood is, I think, having a below par game. I'll take Douglas.

Warner looks shagged.

Now that was a nice try.

Bulls looking shagged across the park. Reds keep this up we could have more.

JP Smith on the field for Slipper, 45mins down..

Who is skipper now? K?

Both teams better off giving the ball to the opposition and counter attacking on their mistakes here

 

[Beer Baron]

I definitely fear the usual fade away less with thorn in charge

Given the game strategies, that is point to Reds.

 

[Wilson]

Reds are improving each game - starting to look like a well coached side

Forgive me for getting a bit optimistic about where this season is going

Strauss on.

OK now the bulls get interesting Boshof off the bench (12 off) moving to 10 and Pollard playing second fly. Mitchel is winding it up!

Bulls now structured like old style Kiwis.

 

[dru]

PS it's a bit like Lilo-To'omua 10-12 combo.

Long phase is fine from deeper. Not doing much this close to the line.
