Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

[Nusadan]

Reds looking more assured of the two teams going into half time now, leading 9-3, despite not capitialising on Stormer's yellow card early in the half...

 

[Richard D. James]

9 - 3 to the Reds at oranges, wonder if they can keep this up?

 

[vidiot]

Yeah, the Reds are looking quite composed. Solid set pieces. Cooper is doing a pretty good job of steering them around the park.

 

[vidiot]

Did I say solid set piece?

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Stormers look like they are getting a bit of a run on now. Reds have been pretty good though.

 

[vidiot]

Is this a contact sport? WTF?

 

[Tordah]

Stormers losing more balls forward than they did all season. They don't look like a championship side today. And that penalty was ridiculous. If you give that, you're gonna give 30 pens each match just for that sort of "counter rucking".

 

[vidiot]

9-6 Reds, eh

 

[AngrySeahorse]

That ball didnt look like it had passed the last feet...oh well ref's call.

 

[vidiot]

Reds are strangling the Stormers, even with the lineout wobbles in the second half. 12-6. Pressure at the breakdown is a revelation

That was one of the best "Who? Me!" faces I have ever seen by Deon Fourie.

It was out, fair call imo. That was just the Reds mistake.

 

[James Buchanan]

Quade gone imo.

Edit: Guess not. Reds are really getting the rub of the green with some of those decisions.

 

[matty_k]

If you are talking about the scrum then I think the ref called that the 8 had detached and so then the scrum is over.

 

[Nusadan]

QC (Quade Cooper) lucky to stay on despite second head high tackle...

 

[Tordah]

tnis ref makes the worst "crouch, touch, pause, engage" calls ever. And try Reds

 

[James Buchanan]

As the commentators have said, that should be the game.

 

[vidiot]

Try time, Aussie Wonder Boy.

 

[matty_k]

Good try and the Stormers fans are leaving.

Ah right I see now. As I type this reds go in and the Stormers supporters starting to go out. Very happy to see the reds pick up a win here - pending a disaster.
