S15 - Rebels V Reds

[AngrySeahorse]

Hope Beale gets an early mark to get a rest, would hate to lose him for the Wobs. We desperately need him at fullback.

Beau now makes his presence felt by giving away a silly penalty.

Enter Twilight Zone theme now. This will fire up the Wallaby Backline threads.

Meanwhile Harris slots another penalty. Still need the 4th try. Beale still out there so he must be ok, good restart.

27-3 Reds, 50min in.

Mr Doug; if you have those undies on, please leave them on. Reds still need to score another try and hold on for the win from here.

If JOC (James O'Connor) keeps throwing passes to the tryline that'd really help.

Beale struggling. That's really not good.

Yes, Ash, red jocks are on, and awaiting 4th try! "Beale struggling", what a surprise!!

 

[Ash]

27 - 3, 49 gone. Reds still need the 4th try. They are forcing passes now.

Great work Beale & Vuna.

Though Harris copped a bit of an arms free shoulder there (or not, didnt see it clearly) but he didnt do an academy award performance as a result, good guy Harris.

 

[Ash]

Rebels bomb a sitter as the passes just don't go to hand. Bad luck after a good break set up be Beale going across field.

 

[Schadenfreude]

That a shepard all day.

Oh no. JOC (James O'Connor) down, leg?

Beale down with ribs/shoulder, according to Horan.

Beau with a turnover a couple out from his own line. Rebs don't have enough backline replacements to sub both.

JOC (James O'Connor) off, struggling to walk.

It will be far worse for JOC (James O'Connor) when he sees his hair in a mirror. What an absolute Barry!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Excellent work from Inman on Chris.

and a great try from Beale. Reds not so good, can't give Beale such a huge gap like that.

27-8 Reds. 56min in.

 

[Ash]

Went a bit sloppy, but now the Rebels are looking very very dangerous. It's the Beale show - he's creating breaks, and ends up strolling under the posts.

Have to say that the Rebs look a lot better with Beale at first receiver.

I think this game highlights why JOC (James O'Connor) should not play in the inside backs.......

Beale an automatic improvement at 10.......

 

[Tiger]

Rebs looking much better with Beale at 10

True but like Cooper I'm happy to give JOC (James O'Connor) time to get back into it. I still like the idea of Beale injecting himself from FB. Alas, if he keeps it up JOC (James O'Connor) may end up in the centres (for the Rebels anyhow), I don't know if that would necessarily be a bad thing.

 

[Ash]

Daley on for Holmes; Reds 27 to Rebs 10 after 56.

Worried about the final try for the Reds.

Friby on for Sautia as well.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Determination from Inman? Good work whoever that Rebel was who dived on the ball.

[Ash]

Reds backline stuttering with Lucas right now. Should have gone second man instead a pushed pass to Harris.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Hamstring strain for JOC (James O'Connor). Right to take him off given Hamy's can be bad ones to get over.

Reds make a mistake kicking out on the full. Beale involved in the action again.

Simmo does the intercept!

 

[Ash]

Reds are really struggling now. Beale creating lots of width sees Mitchell make a good run.

 

[Karl]

Should have left Cooper on.
