Round 3: Reds vs Chiefs, 6:45pm AEST - Saturday 9th of March @ Suncorp

[Sword of Justice]

Reds intent looks good but the hand pass skills are awful tonight.

 

[NoName]

Wilson fails to pass the ball on, instead looks for contact, looses it in the ruck.

2 minutes later they score at the other end.

Just bad,

 

[dru]

Amongst other things this is the best 20min of rugby I've seen from Vunivalu.

Edited: oops, I'm congratulating the guy, least I can do is spell his name.

 

[dusk]

Fraser McReight is so so so good.

 

[Confucius Say]

Grealy not a winger

Worried hes gunna lose his spot to Beale.

 

[Derpus]

McReight has that Wallaby 7 jersey in his hands eh

 

[Ignoto]

Was Flook taken off for a HIA? He seems pretty spritey at the ground so unsure if he's injured.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Grealy not a winger

One position the Reds may not have great depth.

Tim Ryan a good prospect but young. With Petaia out it stretches the outside backs. Aubrey doesn’t look a Super Rugby player to me but still young enough to keep developing.

 

[Dan54]

Reds are going bloody well aren't they? Getting stuck in and good for their lead.
Perhaps Sef a bit fortunate that TMO didn't look at the head clash, he looked to be coming up, but no probs really, I don't want anymore cards than needed.

 

[Confucius Say]

They have kept Aubrey and Grealy in development fullbacks but play them as wingers. Neither are. Nor is Jordan Petaia!

When HP comes back, Isaac Henry should go to 13 and Flook to wing.

Yes, HIA for Flook.

 

[dru]

Grealy not a winger

No but he's almost holding up and it's balanced by a performance by Vunivalu - looks like that bloke is actually enjoying a game of rugby.

Another bloke I thought might find it tough when called on - Ryan. But he has also been holding his own. So far.

He was at a 90 degree angle and was static in the defensive line. What else can you do but actively get out of the way? good call IMO.

 

[Oracle83]

Lynaghs passing very ordinary tonight

He was also so crouched on his haunches he was almost arse on the ground. Dan is right though - head clash is a penalty the rest is mitigation away from a card.

Blimey. I'd like to see a few more "ordinary" players in Australian rugby.

 

[dusk]

Jock Campbell has really fallen off. So subpar its not funny.

 

[Derpus]

How in the fuck is that not a card?

Fucking O'Queeffe strikes again. Useless flog.

Put at least 4 to the turf - make that 5
