Reds vs Brumbies - Rd9 2014

[Ash]

Fair turnover, but Walsh was actually very lenient on the attacking team all game for both sides....

Mate, if you can tell me how McAffrey was supporting his own weight on his feet with a serious face, then you have a great career in Real Estate or selling cars ahead of you.

Thought he was lenient on both teams at ruck time, some of the stuff went on should've been penalised every day of the week, both on attack and even more defence.

Great result for the brumbies I'm sure slim293 and 10 of his mates instead of five will turn up to Canberra for the next home game

Gregan wished Horwill good luck in the bye. wtf?

Maybe he thinks that the bye will beat them

 

[Ash]

Phew.....

Boy, subbing Sio and Alexander made a huge difference, obviously in the scrum with a complete 180 in scrum dominance, but they were both massive around the field....

I'd love to see the stats on Alexanders' linebreaks/linebreak assists!

If I recall correctly, Alexander was on when the Brumbies scrum first disintegrated. Sio wasn't.

Ruan Smith came on after Quirk's try, I think.

Yeah, that was weird.

Reds should have gone to the corner at 23-17 down. Failed to back themselves at a crucial time again. Disappointing.

No. 3 points at that point was absolutely the right call.

Perhaps Gregan wanted to rub it in after having to sit through Horan's commentary performance

I thought so too at the time. Reds were on a roll, fair to think they could get back down there again, there was a fair bit of time.

Yeah, agree. The Reds then went into their shell and tried to play field position vs the Brumbies, a poor tactic almost every time. Kicking before first phase in the last 10 chasing the game is just dumb rugby.

If I was a Brumbies player in the last 10, I then wouldn't believe my luck!

I thought they might go for the corner and I had visions of the 19-19 all over again.

I live in Melbourne, but top effort........

Nah, Alexander came off just before that scrum.......

I thought the same thing. These Red v Brumbies games aren't for the faint hearted.

i didn't see the game only just got home from work.... if we are talking 'wallaby watch' who put their hands up in this game? looks like Tomane did himself some favours, QC (Quade Cooper) had a good night with the boot? how was genia/white battle? forwards?

Gregan was struggling all night on the commentary all night.......

Tomane good, Quade was pretty good, White better first half, Genia the second. Moore, Fardy, Slipper, Alexander, To'omua all good.

Ah, the usual suspects

To'omua played well. Alexander and Slipper were good Moore was good Fardy, Horwill good Simmions good but brain farted again

I guess that's the reds done for finals then,
The brumbies are going to have to start getting bonus points soon or they will be travelling the globe again

Ah you're right, but the Brumbies scrum had already disintegrated in the couple scrums prior to that once JP was on for Sio and Owen on for Alexander.
