And the Brumbies couldn’t really deal with Tupou at scrum time

I’m not going to bag them for that

Bit of a fizzle from the brumbies

 

[TSR]

Has Angus Blyth played a better game for the Reds?

Think they were OK when Slipper was on.

 

[Tomikin]

Well done Reds.

Good game.. Petaia man of the match for me..

 

[KOB1987]

Tupou + Bell in a couple of years is seriously mouth watering

What is the record for cards in a game?

I think this weekend was the first time every Super Rugby game had a card in it, both here and in NZ.

Getting a bit silly isn’t it.

Yep.

Tate would have to have one of the best mullets in oz rugby

Please. Come to Rockhampton.

Was it frost who got pinged for playing the ball on the ground which led to 3 reds points ?

How are you not allowed to dive on a ball and tap it back? Going off that call you can never dive on a ball.

Yeah was Frost...

Well played the Reds. Brumbies really of the boil tonight. They looked really slow and laboured nad did all the dumb things. Too many changes recently? Ryan has a bit of maturing to do to be a quality 9.

The Ref's call will take the focus off on a good win by the Reds sadly.

Brumbies need to do some serious recruitment for next year in the backline. Banks was really missed and Iona is not Super Rugby standard; he couldn't not keep up with then pace of the game. He is club level at best and we just could get players like Ikatau or the wingers in the game as he was too slow and the Reds defence was reading him like a picture book.

Really worried what is happening with the Brumbies scrum. really dropped off of late.

I think he ruled that he was on the ground already when he did it. Which IMO was incorrect. Point is though he didn’t ping him for diving and tapping it back, which is perfectly legal.

Reds better side but whilst they looked good in attack at times too many dropped balls and handling errors. As for the brumbies never really got out of the blocks.

 

[Shiggins]

Darcy swain has to start for wallabies. His maul defence is world class

Thought the Reds locks did OK too - and they were defusing a Brumby maul. I think they take it on points.

 

[TSR]

Yeah - Frost & Swain are both outstanding young players, but I though Smith & Blyth were superb tonight.

Having said that, looking forward to seeing Frost in a Wallabies jersey.

Australian rugby needs to give Petaia as much time in the saddle at fullback as possible. Far from the finished product but he could be something really special. Had a blinder.

Was it out of a ruck? You cant dive on a ball within 1m.

Best defence of the Brumbies’ maul I can remember
