Super Rugby AU R3 - Reds v Force

[qwerty51]

Fantastic game. Better than any Aotearoa match so far.

Force been impressive - especially the backrow and props around the park. Liked how flat Lance is playing.

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) has been great tonight. So many good lineout steals and strong carries.

He’s been fantastic all year.

But yeah, great tonight and thank god given the gulf we have in our lock depth now.

Kafer just called it a 'decent' game. Seriously? Was I watching a different game? This guy needs to be shown the door from commentary. Doing the game a disservice.

The energy was really up there wasn't it. I really enjoyed that game. Feel Berry is letting too much go at the breakdown, thought we were going to be cleaning that up. The Force well in that. They'll only improve as the new players settle in and they get a feel for things.

what the fuck is this post game interview?

no cliches?

positive authentic comments on the opposition?

i demand my regular bland comments about effort, sticking to the game plan, heart and a couple of repetitive platitudes

Tim Horan to Ian Prior......safe travels home. Um no Tim I think we are East Coast based for the duration mate.

Great game, congrats Force - huge effort. But I'm hugely impressed with Reds - with a YC in the last 15 mins we would have capitulated in past few seasons. Got the job done. Charge down was great - shows the commitment I reckon'.

This game just solidified my resolve that we can't afford to cut anyone. What a fucking game.

Is Ralston an Aussie? he's ace.

Yep, only 20 years old to boot.

Real talent to watch

ASY (Angus Scott-Young) seemed to go ok, didn’t hurt the lineout too much. I thought Tualima’s footwork at the line was pretty good in the last 10.

Even as they visibly tired the effort levels were right up there. Really enjoyed that game as a neutral. Hoping that's the first of a trend in Super Rugby Aus. Upbeat, high energy Rugby. Bloody beautiful.

Bit of Cory Jane about him.

 

[Derpus]

I don't recall him ever losing possession. Makes a lot of good decisions, and has pace and power.

Agree about this commentary team. Sound like they have one foot in the grave.

Shits all over the NRL matches tonight. Two uncompetitive snoozefests.

That was our best line out all year, maybe longer.

Blasphemy!!! Everyone knows no game can even be compared to the Goliath of global sport that is Super Rugby Aotearoa.

He was good in the NRC last year. Made one of those rising stars lists from memory.

 

[Dctarget]

Very cute hearing how a 15 year old is being billeted with JO'C through Reds to Regions. What a fantastic initiative.

 

[Wilson]

That was heaps of fun. Will have to watch the replay to comment on the rugby, but bloody hell I enjoyed being there more than I have in a long time.

Andrew Forrests godson.....heir to an iron ore fortune in WA......loves watching the sun go down over the Indian Ocean....hands off!

Exciting game, very entertaining to watch. Reds team are on the way up and the Force aren't far off the pace.

We don't need to be axing teams!

 

[Forcefield]

What a cracking match. I can cope with losing when it's a great game like that. Plenty to like but plenty to work on.

I reckon the Force wouldve taken that match with a little more depth.
