Reds v Force 2015 Super Rugby Rd 2

[Ash]

Force back early, Reds half arm. Another scrum.

BTW Horwill never came back. McDuling is staying on. Genia is captain.

Reds get another shove on and match forward. Force collapse in. Another Reds penalty.

This will be a yellow card for the next.

 

[Ash]

Most refs would've binned a Force front row player by now. A few might have given a penalty try, but not too many.

This scrum goes straight down.

Go to uncontested this is a joke

 

[djeff]

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.

Slipper off? I missed that one. Injury or substitution???

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Finally meat to Chris F-Sautia, or maybe not.

Pass was a little close to being forward. but they may get away with it.

No. Overruled by Video replay.

 

[qwerty51]

That looks a little forward to me, tough call to make.

And a forward pass that actually gives an advantage this time.

 

[Ash]

Most refs would've assumed Reds had pressure and penalised the Force for going down. Way too patient, this is just made the delay too big for the game.

Should have been a card or penalty try by now.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Nothing wrong with that pass. Try Reds!

Whoa, replay side on looks worse.

So maybe not.

 

[Moono75]

man this is stop start

 

[Ash]

Force put pressure on the Reds scrum, CFS goes in from a flat Frisby pass. I reckon it was good on replay.

They are checking.

Slipper was concussed, had a head knock from a knee when attempting a tackle.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

CFS in after roughly a million scrum resets. Now they're checking the pass & oh fuck it's George Ayoub (one of the best in the business, according to some Foxtel muppet FFS) in the TMO chair. George says he's not sure but thinks it was forward out've the hands so now they're looking at an angle that's NEVER gonna show if it was forward or not. No try. Good one, George.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Bugger if you're a reds fan, no try, forward pass, looked ok from first angle but certainly less so side on. Fair enough.

 

[Ash]

No try. Bit harsh maybe, line ball call. But that side on shot looked like it was a bit forward.

 

[Ash]

Yeah, reasonable call I reckon from that side on shot.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Reds Tighthead. and Penalty try - Finally.

Reds 18 - Force 6.
55 minutes.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Penalty try Reds at the scrum now.

 

[qwerty51]

Ben Daley's first penalty try forced?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Ref FINALLY gives a PT.

 

[Ash]

Penalty try Reds from the scrum.

 

[Ash]

Huge tighthead, Force relaxed on the feed and the Reds just drove right through them.

Very good scrummaging effort from Daley, he usually hinges but he's kept it up.

Reds up 18 - 6 after 56 minutes.
