Round 2: Reds v Canes. Sunday.

[Wilson]

Didn't they say on commentary that the medic went to him and appeared to only treat him for cramp, not give him an assessment?

I think they did it while Petaia was down

 

[Adam84]

Hurricanes clearly collapsing the scrum there, fishing for a penalty/overextended and missed it.

 

[Wilson]

Winning scrum penalties now

 

[LeCheese]

I think they did it while Petaia was down

So several minutes after the incident?

Edit: When they had a chance to do it at the stoppage just after

 

[dru]

Scrum penalty against THAT Cane pack. Wow.

 

[Wilson]

The pig has found another truffle! Time to really ram the advantage home

 

[Adam84]

Faessler is the new Fainga'a

 

[dru]

Maul try. Love it.

 

[Aussie D]

try time! Is Faessler going for Folau Fainga'a's record for the Brumbies?

 

[molman]

Upgraded to red as it should be. A few weeks on the sideline for Barrett

I wonder how much that had to do with Barrett carrying a chest injury, he really didn't bend much at all.

There seems to be a bit of a delay on the mouthguards at the moment, part of the reason they changed the protocol.

Maybe, but I don't think he even tried.

 

[dru]

Pressure is building!

 

[molman]

Nice to see them add it to the mix. Good risk/reward from those 5m line outs.

 

[Adam84]

Aumua is a beast

 

[molman]

Maybe, but I don't think he even tried.

No. Which was a little odd. His technique is normally pretty good.

 

[LeCheese]

Yeah but that's my point - despite the changes, it seems like they're still delaying (or putting less emphasis on) the assessment a bit and waiting for the mouthguard reading. Not a fan if that becomes a regular occurrence

 

[molman]

Flook is tackling like a machine.

 

[dru]

Why is there a scrum penalty when the Reds are going backwards but straight?

 

[Wilson]

Very small backline for the Reds now, but they're putting their bodies on the line
