Reds v Canes. Wellington

[Ash]

Damn this is annoying to type on an iPhone. Bryce Lawrence is being really pedantic against both teams.

Nonu warned for a high shot on Cooper.

Ripper of a try from Davies! Clever in pass from Fainga'a and Davies flies in between defenders.

Reds up 14 to 8.

 

[Ash]

Hore with another not straight and this one is called. Humphries down hurt.

Reds still running everything.

Davies getting some hammy work too

 

[GC]

Looks like another try to Chambers

 

[DPK]

Bloody hell, these Reds are the real deal.

 

[GC]

Cooper on fire again. Taking all the right options. But not the kick restart

 

[Ash]

Fuck. Reds rip the Canes apart and Cooper kicks ahead for a Chambers try. Reds on fire! Clever kick from Cooper.

21 to 8 to the Reds. Canes giving up a big lead to he Reds. Hope he Reds can maintain it. The reds have improved loads since last week

 

[GC]

Bombed a try there. Davies' hammy gone. Va'alu on

 

[Ash]

Yeah sad about Davies gees he was looking dangerous. Reds need to score again before half tile and put the Canes away. Can not let hem get a sniff of a come back. Canes are dangerous

 

[Ash]

Shaw gives away his first penalty of the game. Fair too. All he had to do was stY on his feet. Appears he slipped to be fair

 

[GC]

Reds let in a try after the half time buzzer. Terrible defense

 

[Ash]

Damn. Canes get a penalty on half time and run it 60 metres to score. Great try but so disappointing. They are still in it.

21 to 13 at half time.

 

[Spook]

Go Reds

 

[GC]

Reds closing down Nonu well but giving Jane and Gear far too much room. Got to sort their defense out in the second half

 

[DPK]

Ridiculous passage of refereeing. Firstly, tackler never released Va'alu, but got allowed to stay. Then a straight to yellow call on a marginal tackle.

 

[Ash]

Yeah was wrong call against he tackler on va'aulu but Lawrence has been wrong on that all night. He has been ignoring he change in laws. Yellow was harsh bu understandable.

High tackle call on Ioane was a farce. Even the commentators agreed. The guy was at waist height and fell into him

Canes held up over the line. Get a penalty at scrum time. Can see a push over or penalty try here

 

[Ash]

Lucky that he ball popped out the back of that scrum. Good reds defence kept them out. Bad call on Nonu hough as it came off his shins. 4 minutes left until Shaw back on. Reds scrim 5 out

reds screw it up just kick it! Canes in the corner

 

[Ash]

Chambers needed to kick that. Bit of inexperience.

21 to 20 Reds. Great kick Weepu.

Reds are killing themselves. Shaw back on in 2

 

[DPK]

Wheels falling off a bit :|

 

[Ash]

Genia looks in pain

Canes on attack again as the reds give away an intercept

weak defence and the Canes are in

Samo has been great though

27 to 21

Reds are done

 

[Ash]

Reds spin some good passages together and get a penalty. It shoudlve been closer though but Cooper misses

Two penalties missed now
