Reds vs Stormers, Newlands 2013

Where's the GAGR video "Saia Fainga'a's tactics at the breakdown"? Watch him take the space.
I was taught here only NZ teams do it

^^Radike isnt making much of an impact... yet. Might have lost some of the speed that quirk gave us (youth etc.)

I think Cooper fans are deluded by the razzle dazzle, he still makes plenty of turnovers from his style of play. That shit doesn't fly at Test level.

But Coopers pretty fly for a red guy.

Which makes the selection of Samo even more bizarre. The problem last week was numbers to the breakdown.

Yeah. Samo being in puts a lot of impetus on Saia and Slipper to get in quickly. Saia looks slower today then usual in that regard - not a good combo!

More forward passes, I dare say Robbie's watching this feeling pretty vindicated.

Samo should be the first selection every week.

 

[USARugger]

Did you open your other eye for that clearance? Or did you miss it? Speaking of forward passes:

I can do this all day.

Come on qwerty... This is just ridiculous. Are you going to count the number of mistakes our wallaby - sorry waratah - players made against the rebels?

Seriously you're turning this into a state thing? No.

Quade needs to improve his goal kicking, that's another factor so openly left out by his supporters.

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

How about we leave wallabies coaching to the wallabies coaches, and focus on how the Reds can start converting their possession into points, then page Link 2m before halftime.

Missed two kicks, fluffed a few plays in the relatively calm conditions of a S15 game.

The impression that he can't take pressure is not being helped.

 

[USARugger]

Bit of a nothing kick there from Cooper.

 

[redveincheese]

The north stand, is slightly lower than the south one.

No I'm not. You're interpreting it that way.

Yep agreed, Quades converting is fairly average. Acceptable but not at test level. But if you have lilo/ JOC (James O'Connor)/ Barnes is it necessary?

Edit in reply to the post above: Good point will keep it on topic. Sorry mate.

Windy conditions

There's zero intensity in this game..

 

[USARugger]

Both teams plagued by basic handling errors right now. Nothing new to Stormers fans though.

 

[redveincheese]

Man, the stormers are bad, but the reds are worse.

 

[qwerty51]

That was nice by Cooper but stupid by Morahan.

 

[USARugger]

I screamed when he threw that ball back in. That was a few moments of madness, fucking beautiful hands from Cooper. CFS needs more touches.

QC (Quade Cooper) absolutely got out of jail earlier when he bounced off that tackler in front of the posts.
