Reds vs Stormers, Newlands 2013

[Bruwheresmycar]

Quade is my new favorite player this is just awesome, play after play . btw good turnover from Gill.

That was nice by Cooper but stupid by Morahan.

Morohan has some similar issues to Quade in defence hey. They both like to attack high and it just doesnt work against the big boys.

 

[Boomer]

Windy conditions

Correct. Good humour.

If this is how Quade responds to being left out of the Wallabies squad, I'm not even mad.

 

[USARugger]

Reds line out has to improve after the half of they won't win this.

 

[lewisr]

Reds are looking so average...

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Stormers discipline is something to behold. Not many teams would last so many phases in a row without conceding a penalty to the Reds (think of the Brumbies..)

Bad sign there, kicking away with no advantage. Out of options. 0-0 HT would be fitting.

 

[lewisr]

Faainga bopped... Looking so flat.

Keep this rubbish up in the second half and the Reds can kiss goodbye any chance of a home final. I won't be sticking around for it though, sleep is a much better option right now.

 

[lewisr]

Cheerleaders the most interesting aspect of this game so far.

 

[Tordah]

Saia Fainga'a is like a walking penalty offence. He doesn't offer anything. How he ever got a Wallaby cap is beyond me.
Cooper the Reds best player so far IMO. Gill and Samo good, too. Genia waits too long with the ball at the base of the ruck.
Carr good for Stormers, and both their locks.

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

This half I expect Genia to direct traffic and Quade will save his tricks for the attacking 22. Stormers just aren't committing to the rucks leaving this expansive Reds game plan kind of redundant. So you'd want more play up the guts and throw in a few more box kicks/inside balls for those line breaks.

 

[Boomer]

Not surprised by the low scoreline, tbh. Two very tight, defensive teams.

 

[lewisr]

Is it just me or has Genia been a bit off, again? Not bad of course but not his usual brilliant self.

ALso, whats the deal with Graham and McKenzie's latest lounge suit and handkerchief approach? Classy fellows.

 

[Tangawizi]

Fucking hell - Get Hanson on

 

[Alex]

Not only are the quality of some of Cooper's touches are outstanding, in particular under pressure, but the frequency of the quality touches is extra-ordinary. He can't really be blamed for A Finger dropping passes and overrunning him

 

[kiap]

 

[qwerty51]

2 missed tackles each is outstanding

Great try! Reds out of bonus point so far

 

[Boomer]

Oh, that's not too farkin' Farnie
