Round 7: Reds v Rebels - Saturday 30 March @ Suncorp

[Happy]

Genia has thrown a season's worth of forward passes already tonight.

That’s how Genia has always played. Forward passes to players past the gain line.

Interesting that Hockings replaces ASY (Angus Scott-Young) for blood bin.

ASY (Angus Scott-Young) fails HIA........ not quite karma.

 

[dillyboy]

Good arm wrestle going on.

Ref taking too bloody long to get the scrums set & the lineout in - really slowing the pace of the game

 

[Joe Blow]

Naisarani had a massive first half. Rebels need to be more patient and not kick the pill away(except the last one).

 

[Slim 293]

It’s somewhat disappointing it’s a World Cup year, because there’s a few players so far deserving of a look into the test team that won’t because incumbency wins out..........

Philip and Jones have been very impressive this year.......... Coleman, again, not so much.

I reckon if they could revist that substitution knowing he wouldn't be back then they would have put McReight on instead

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Quality game....for me (as a neutral) this has been very enjoyable to watch.

 

[Adam84]

handling hasn't been too bad considering the conditions, defence by the Reds has been solid. I'm somewhat expecting the Reds to come home stronger in the 2nd half, Rebels are pushing to many passes at the moment.

 

[Rebelsfan]

And Higginbotham says it all when asked about the Rebels return from SA - no, the Reds will stick to their game plan - they don't tailor their attack to their opponent like NZ sides do. Thank you Brad Thorn.

 

[Dctarget]

Poor Stewart, just absolutely lined up by Koroibete.

 

[Dctarget]

Quade learns from his first conversion miss and nails it in pretty much the same place the second time.

 

[Slim 293]

I hate to say it because he’s a bit of a grub......... but Rangi is by far the second best hooker in Aus right now.

I rate him, but don't have him pegged as a grub? Could've missed it though.

 

[Slim 293]

And if he keeps this up (which I don’t doubt), Naisarani will have a gold 8 jersey.

 

[Slim 293]

I rate him, but don't have him pegged as a grub? Could've missed it though.

He has a tendency to carry on off the ball........ it’s not a good look.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Gees Jones has been incredibly consistent this season....hard to see him being left out of the wallaby squad for the RWC.

 

[Adam84]

I haven't seen him carry on off the ball? when has this 'tendency' occurred?

 

[Dctarget]

Rebels backrow have it over the Reds' so far. In saying that, haven't seen much from Captain Cottrell.

 

[Slim 293]

I haven't seen him carry on off the ball? when has this 'tendency' occurred?

His entire professional career?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Not seen Rangi's off the ball stuff - but yes must be second in hooker stakes on form behind Folau F at the moment.
