Super Rugby 2023 Rd 2: Force v Reds, Sun 5th Mar

[Sam Old]

Flook on fire today

 

[Adam84]

Wow, Reds biggest score ever.. and I didn’t think they’ve even played that well

 

[Adam84]

Too easy

This comment aged well….

 

[Thalium]

O’Connor is rocking the old school look and is looking pretty good out there

 

[Wilson]

This has been one of Kalani's best games

 

[Equalizer]

I get it, you’re upset your team is losing and you’re lashing out.

No. I'm calling out unsportsmanlike conduct as many did in the Canes v Rebels. I think deliberately mocking an opponent is worse.and a much more low act and display of character. No one thought Ardie was really going to kill someone. He did what he did in the heat of battle. Vuni chose to do what he did.

He was taking the piss out of himself, not the Force...

Can you explain why you think he was mocking the Force? If he had no history of hammy issues yes, he would be absolutely mocking the Force but he does have a history so he's taking the piss with himself.

Well done Reds. Fixed that for and against up a little.

But I can't get too excited. With all due respect the Force were diabolical and also short staffed for a fair time.

Brumbies in Canberra mark the true test of their bounce back.

Great win from the Reds - nice way to steady the ship after last week’s efforts.

Some observations:
- Lynagh is that guy
- Jordy can absolutely play 15
- Flook is a real threat
- JOC (James O'Connor) isn’t done yet
- Wright is solidifying himself as a quiet achiever and a massively positive influence within the group
- McReight and Wilson are giving Eddie something to think about

If I was a Force fan I’d be upset and angry about a lot of other issues rather then Vunivalu limping over the try-line.

Yep, I believe it’s called a deflection

Does he have to???

 

[Derpus]

Well I didn't see that coming.

Reds have said it was a cramp anyway - mountain out of a molehill

 

[Derpus]

Was always going to be a tough ask with the reds having so many good players but I’m filled with confidence for the Wallabies this year after a great weekend of rugby

Reds looked pretty fucken shite last weekend. If I was a Force fan I'd be pretty pissed with a performance like this.

Didn't Twiggy spout some shit about making the Force as good as the kiwi sides?

 

[Equalizer]

I'll finish by saying well done the Reds. The better team on the day. I didn't like the look around the Vuni try as others didn't around the Ardie gesture. Each to their own. On to next week.

Yikes

Won’t happen for a few years at least. They have got some good kids signed that aren’t ready so they have a few seasons of being the halfway house before you go overseas but still want to qualify

Ah well, let's start at the start.

Thanks.

BTW My second team is the Force and we aint done yet.
