Super Rugby AU Grand Final - Reds v Brumbies - Saturday 8th May 2021

[A mutterer]

yeah berry getting marked down now. tupou getting pinged for getting high at the end of a dominant clear out vs a clear ddt from the ponies?

 

[AFL_Converted]

What about that penalty on Tupou? What was the call? Didn’t look high?

Incorrect entry

 

[Adam84]

Jeez that ex Reds halfback is doing his former team no favours, Brumbies getting the rub of the green

 

[Adam84]

Incorrect entry

He signalled high tackle/contact, not incorrect entry, it wasn’t highl

 

[molman]

Incorrect entry

Plus a warning to not go grabbing the neck. Fair enough call.

Not wrong. Far out.

no it wasnt. berry clearly stated the clean out was fine it was high.

Jesus

Still the correct call...

Well hands and shoulder were on the Brumbies defender, but I wouldn't say that was high either. Might have been the incorrect signal, but it was a penalty

 

[Up the Guts]

Halftime either way so not sure what all the complaining is about.

 

[A mutterer]

Jesus Still the correct call.

like wtf? because you wanted one?

 

[Adam84]

Jesus Still the correct call.

Well no because the penalty was for something which didn’t occur.. far out

 

[Dismal Pillock]

'Bumbreeze' (wtf is that supposed to even mean? )

Please refrain from teasing me about my speech disorder.

**FINAL WARNING**

Not sure I agree. I think Berry's been all over the place. I saw no clear release from BPA when the Reds got their first turnover, there was another into the side of the ruck by the Reds he didn't call, or a player slow to roll away... likewise he's let some of the Brumbies indiscretions go too... I don't mind it in the name of letting the game flow, but he's picking a choosing too much for me.

Both teams will win this by taking the ref out of the equation. ie. just score tries

 

[TSR]

Okay - they are replaying the scrum now. Sio is on much bigger angle than Tupou. But Tupou is boring in????

Well said. Reds are down because the Bumbries have completely controlled territory, nothing to do with the officiating.

And possession.

that's just what they want you to think.

wake up sheeple!

 

[Brumby Runner]

Finally Tuppu is penalised for boring in

Yep. He set up in a boring in position and the whole scrum went left with him. That was a prime example of what the Reds have been doing all year in the scrums and up til now, getting away with it.

Incidentally, a very poor decision some minutes beforehand to penalise Lonergan for an excellent, legitimate turnover.

 

[Up the Guts]

And possession.

That too. Would be easy to overlook Nic White but he’s completely controlled the game.
