Reds v Force 2015 Super Rugby Rd 2

[Ash]

Thomson interviewed at half time, he's plenty out of breath, but he's brought a spark to this Reds pack without a doubt.

Reds steal another Force lineout.

BTW the crowd looks really really small and there's no atmosphere.

A downgraded tropical cyclone arriving 24 hours after a monsoonal trough will do that. Kudos to those who have rocked up, reckon they should get freebies for all remaining home games.........

 

[gel]

Yeah its pretty empty. That try brought a tear to my eye.

(but dear me, the reds attack is without any structure. Unless RG's gameplans happens to actually be "play some sort of rugby and then do some crazy shit to score a try it is impossible to discern what the restart doing).

looks like every Aus team will start 1-1

 

[redstragic]

Sssshhhhhh qwerty. We have 40 to not fuck this up still.

^^^^^^^ what's the can count at?

 

[djeff]

Horwill not coming back on for the 2nd half. . . . Penalty count should be better then.

 

[Ash]

Frisby with a rubbish kick 30m out on attack, Ebersohn puts the Reds back to their 22.

As @Gel said, Reds have zero structure in attack.

 

[Roundawhile]

More commentary please, can't watch the game

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Red 13 had to be offside to force that carry-back.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Good falcon from Adam Thompson when contesting that kickchase. Reds nearly scored.

 

[Ash]

Some Morahan magic again! Gets to 22m out and tries a grubber but it hits a Reds foot. Force regather but McCalman gives away a penalty on attack.

It was Frisby who read the grubber beautifully to get his foot in the way.

Morahan is so threatening on the counter with a little space.

Genia box kicks, Thomson and Kuridrani compete and the ball goes flying towards the Force line. Kuridrani regathers and gets pulled down 5m out. Force steal as no Reds are in support, but the Force throw a poor pass into their in goal and the Reds force a 5m scrum.

BTW, that came off Thomson's head.

 

[Ash]

Kotze getting a lot of attention.

Reds 5m scrum. Lots of pressure, but with Slipper off and Daley on the Force hold easily.

Scrum eventually goes down and there will be another. I reckon the ref should make the Reds play the ball.

 

[Ash]

Again with a scrum, Reds go forward this time under heavy Reds pressure. Penalty Reds as the Force scrum folds in.

Reds choose to kick for goal.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Scrum penalty. Take the scrum, YC and/ or penalty try if they infringe again. They choose the 3, Turner misses but Force knock on & it's a scrum where they could've had one 15 seconds ago......

 

[Ash]

Holy crap!!

Turner penalty kick hits the post, bounces high on the 5m line, Force knock on. If there was a Reds chaser wide they would have scored.

Godwin didn't jump for the ball.

Another Reds 5m scrum, but further out.

 

[Ash]

Another penalty reds.

Quick tap Genia, he's over the line, but held up. Another 5m scrum.

 

[Ash]

Zac Holmes around Genia's legs saved that as he allowed DHP to hold up the ball over the line.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

That penalty was awarded on the 5m line. None of the Force retired behind the try line before they came forward to tackle Genia.

Must be close to a Card or Penalty Try (or both).

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Genia held up, yet another 5m scrum. How patient is this ref? How patient are the Reds? Nice blind if they wanna go there.....

FK, yet another scrum, how patient IS this ref?

Classic ref-speak " I can't just keep warning you" and yet he does. Again.
