Reds v Waratahs - Roma Festival of Rugby 10 Feb

As a tah fan the stream dropping was far better showing from the tahs.
Scrum aside they're not looking very cohesive. The defensive line looks poor, breakdown work is on the poorer side, lineout looks to need work, hard to comment on the attacking structures as they haven't had much ball. They look slow and a little mentally out of it. I can only hope this is some master plan to play poor in the trial and then surprise the Reds by blitzing them in the season game.

HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) is horrendously slow around the field lucky the scrum works because he’s a passenger in every other facet.

Mahe getting picked off easily.

Reds executing perfectly with the weight of possession. Nothing has been spectacular. Simple things done well.

Agree. Jock carved through the line with so little effort. He's eyeing off the seam between two slow forwards from 20-30m out and then just running hard. The Tah's need to do much better.

I think the Reds work on the forwards making ground in tight is a huge improve. Continually making some distance, makes it hard to defend and the Reds backs are taking opportunity.

At this stage it’s a complete reversal of last week for the Reds. Lineout very strong, but scrum struggling. Attacking shape looks good and passes mostly sticking. Breakdown still needs some improvement, but much better than it was last week.

Campbell looking like his old self after a sub-par year last year.
