Reds vs Rebels - 2011R05

[louie]

Rebels teasel havn't showed up

 

[minorbird]

Phipps service has been really good so far. As has his defense.

 

[cyclopath]

Red hand to get that ball back on their line - Dickinson missed it. Then Higgers butchers a try chance as well.

Teasel??

 

[GC]

18-3 Reds.

 

[GC]

Reds dont take the easy points. Lose the lineout. Silly stuff.

 

[GC]

Try time. Higgers over.

Hasnt been the only one either. Getting away with murder at the breakdown the Reds

Indeed. My pet hate, the attackers flying off feet at the breakdown is rife, and Stuey doesn't want to know about it. Both sides are at it, but Reds have had more ball, so have been more obvious. But that was poor - Rebels should have had a penalty 2 m out.
Reds taking their chances though. Higgers looks good, apart from one-handed pass catching which didn't work so well.

 

[cyclopath]

Nothing option from Cipriani there wasted possession. Should be 2 tries to 1 I reckon, but Reds clearly the best of it. Higginbotham, Ioane, Robinson the Reds' best. Rebels scrum looking the better, but lacking any real attacking firepower so far.

 

[GC]

To be fair, it was one of those passes straight at the hip, which can be a bitch to catch when running at full speed.

 

[GC]

The Reds scrums seems OK when Daley gets his bind. He does miss it a lot though & the scrum gets smashed.

True, but he only tried to catch it with one hand - the front on view showed it clearly. Just a bit slap-dash. He is having a good game otherwise.

You reckon? Looks like his normal seagulling self to me. Robinson has been immense, Digby has been excellent as well. If Yoda had hung onto that pill things might have been very different.

how is genia doing

Reds have given 4 penalties away in their 22, thought Stu would have shown yellow by now..

In this game, his seagulling is working. Against the Crusaders, it might not cut it. I think he's done some good work, yes.

Quade was a bit lucky as his penalty was one of those that some refs go to town on.

how is genia doing

Pretty awful, at least two passes that missed everyone by 5 metres

 

[cyclopath]

Rebels have wasted some ball in this game...
