Reds v Rebels - Battle of Pride - Friday the 15th of July

How come McMahon can never translate this form to test level? Is it an indictment of the reds defence or is he just a bit small? (or both!)

McMahon with the double off the quick tap after another March down the field.

Toby Smith with the big break this time.

Reds looking very poor

He had a great game in Melbourne!

Reds are shambolic though

Toby Smiths run was awesome

Embarrassingly inept. Disappointing that so many will depart on the back of this shit.

35 1/2 minutes gone. Reds behind 7 - 24.

Edit: No change to the score at Oranges.

Reds 1t (Frisby) 1c (Taefu), Rebels 3t (McMahon 2, English) 3c (Jack D) 1 p (Jack D)

Think Sean just needs to figure out how to compensate for everybody being bigger and near his ability. He was one of the Best in Yellow against England in Sydbet after starting a 2nd test in a row and playing a third test in a row, so maybe it's just a matter of consistent gametime.

Well its taken until their ladt game to realise that Hodge should be doing the exit kicks

 

[Strewthcobber]

Taefu been dragged after 37 mins for Magnay.

Had to change something

 

[Strewthcobber]

Reds take a scrum 20 out in midfield after the siren, but inevitably find a way to stuff it up

Hopefully the QRU send a DVD of that scrum to all the members to commemorate what a disaster of a season this was.

You are right, I completely forgot that game. After underperforming every other test he was awesome that night. Maybe it was partially a confidence thing at that level?

 

[Strewthcobber]

Gill goes over after the best period of the match for the reds.

Too much pressure after 4 penalties in a row from the rebs

24 - 14

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Try to LF Gill, converted by Frisby. 9 minutes 2nd half.

Reds 14 Rebels 24

Greg Holmes departs the oval for T. Tupou.

 

[Slim 293]

Shut up Greg Martin............

He had his eyes on the ball - penalty only.

 

[swingpass]

Rebels about to implode

 

[Ignoto]

Was it just my rugby upbringing where they hammered into us "don't shovel shit". The amount of times players are pushing passes rather than going to ground is just junior level shit.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Speaking of shit, the Lang Park surface resembles that description.

Trying to make the Rebels feel at home?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Kerevi meat pie. Converted by Frisby,

Reds 21 Rebels 24

56 minutes gone

Nek Minit, Nick Stirz charges down Duncan P and grabs meat for the Rebels. Jack D converts,

Reds 21 Rebels 31. 57 minutes.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

LF Gill gets a brace of meat pies. Frisby converts.

Reds 28 Rebels 31. 70 minutes.

 

[swingpass]

Geez just as well the Reds are as inept as the Rebels
