Reds v Waratahs Round 5 - 2016 Super Rugby

[ChargerWA]

Especially since our 3rd and 4th choice in Latu and Mann Rea both seem to be prone to cheap shots and time on the sidelines.

Roach and Ready could find themselves up the pecking order by the end of the year.

Gibson is an idiot. Putting Dennis in the second row when everyone knows the Reds have a good scrum.

 

[ChargerWA]

So the Tahs collapse and he calls use it. Doesn't seem very fair.

Big call from the Reds

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Surprise, surprise. NSW penalised at scrum time in red zone. Reds chose scrum option. Cross the line but held up.

More scrums. Qld crowd have developed a liking for scrums.

Wonder how long before Sir shows the cheese?

What a try saving tackle by Nick Phipps!

 

[ChargerWA]

Gotta say, enjoying this scrum battle. If they collapse again gotta be a PT.

Depends on momentum

 

[Hugh Jarse]

As predicted, it's a PT for Red.

13 minutes Reds lead 7 - 0.

 

[pjm]

I wouldn't call that a PT.

Commentators calling Holmes but the work was done on the other side.

 

[ChargerWA]

That 5 points should go against Greg Holmes name on the score sheet.

Reds have worked out how to convert their scrum into points...

Incredible given two of the Reds front row have only a handful of starts between them

If you mix the Reds tight five with the rest of the Tahs team (backrow & backline). You will get a very competitive side who can win the competition

Except it was the Reds LH/Tahs TH side that went down and caused the call.

You don't get a dominant scrum without first having a dominant THP...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Try Tahs - Folau. Well set up by Jed Holloway.

They actually win a couple of scrums (loosehead) and finally get some possession.

Score is Red 7- Blue 5. Foley hits the upright. 20 minutes gone.

Ooh, could be ruled for obstruction here.. Doubt Gill would have made that tackle though

Interesting tmo interactions there - ref wanted to blow the penalty for obstruction but tmo talked him into the try. Probably a common sense ruling in the end.

Or having a weak LH. Give credit where it's due, don't let your fapping over Holmes get in the way. Holmes does plenty good without needing stuff made up.

You can only dominate what's in front of you.
