Reds v Force 2015 Super Rugby Rd 2

[No4918]

Hope this storm fucks off by kick off. I want to see both teams run the ball.

Storm? Understatement of the year.

There is a chance Suncorp Stadium may stop this game going ahead

Oh it'll be fine. The cyclone (hopefully) won't even hit Brisbane that hard.

 

[RugbyReg]

The cyclone won't. But there's a fair bit of collateral storm action happening. From 9pm tonight it will be heavy in Brisbane pretty much until late Friday night/ early Saturday morning.

Cyclone is expected to be category 5 when it hits land about 8am tomorrow.

Gonna get a bit damp up Suncorp ways...........

 

[Scoey]

What would cause Suncorp to stop the game? The water will get away surely. Just damage to the surface? I bloody hope not.
I have invested a fair bit emotionally into this promised redemption. Not sure I could wait another week for their next game!!

Any Kiwi would be pretty happy with a torrential downpour on Saturday right?

The only thing that will save the Force is if the cyclone forces the match to be cancelled.

 

[RugbyReg]

Doesn't matter that we won 9 games last year and beat the reigning Super Rugby champions in round 1. There is still no respect for the Force. We get the usual patronising comments every year.

You better hope 'Dick' Graham stumbled across a coaching manual since last week.

let's not get too precious.

BH is effectively right. It was a go at our team. Suggesting on paper that I reckon most people would agree is man for man stronger than the Force. However we don't feel at all confident of the win considering all that is in our favour (venue, turn around time, etc).

 

[RugbyReg]

I reckon there is every chance the Roar game will be cancelled tomorrow night but with the Foo Fighters in concert there next week, I can't see too much concern for turn damage from the Reds.

"kiwi yoyote bila kuwa na furaha na downpour kubwa iliyonyesha siku ya Jumamosi haki?"

Yeah, nah, even in Swahili your post makes no sense.

Somebody leave the door open?

 

[ChargerWA]

JOC (James O'Connor) to 10 is the right call. When the defensive line doesn't retreat 10m, Hunt takes it upon himself to retreat 10m so the proportions feel right

So, the usual?

Storm? Understatement of the year.

Yeah I wrote that before I saw the severity of the cyclone. I was a bit insensitive. Anyone in the firing line stay safe.

 

[emuarse]

..but on paper they appear crap also

At some point you have to realize that guys that were good 2 or 3 years ago have now been surpassed and are living on past reputation.

You mean Matt Hodgson, Pek Cowan, Sam Wykes, Alby Mathewson, etc.

Now a Cyclone catagory 5, the highest with winds up to 285klm. Should turn into a Catagory 1 after it passes over land & it tracks towards Brisbane, meaning a bucket load of rain.
I'd say the game is a 50/50% call at the moment. I mean they're predicting 300mm of rain, so who knows.

Wow, that's obscure even for G&GR
