Super Rugby R4 Reds v Blues

[TSR]

I’m all for player safety - but that’s a very harsh penalty

DAUGUNU!

Well, the game is over so will say it. That was a punishingly soft penalty on Telea at the end. Was a sniper rifle level kick though.

Also another joyous week of looking down at the Cantabs and their crumbling Evil Empire.

If one collapsed scrum results in a yellow card, how does that scrum not result in a penalty try and someone in the bin?

Um what scrum resulted in YC, it was collapsong maul.

 

[Dan54]

Have to say again this week, I do like the look of young Zarn.
Will add the young fella at 15 for Reds looked pretty ok too.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

The Ioane brothers come off as the thickcoolest players in the game.

Final Score:

Blues: 31
Aussie TMO: fucking 14
Reds: 10

That yellow card was pretty decisive.

I haven't seen the game but just wanted to say eat a dick congrats to DP, zero, Dan etc

If he doesn't stick his arm out he lands on his noggin. Pretty straight forward imo.

Reds were kinda disappointing from a physicality perspective, particularly Tupou and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

Props to the Reds for pushing it relatively close with huge injuries. Paisami and Wilson (botched try aside) had huge games.

Past horizontal and really didn't need to take the tackle there. Penalty was the right result in acknowledging that he wasn't carrying on with it or driving.

Also applaud the ref for penalsing Stewart for a silly no-arms tackle aimed at the shins i.e. "cannonball"

Our Aussie players need to start upping the wrestling training.

Just finished watching the game - would have liked a win (and see Dismal cry like a baby) - but good contest.

Pleasing to see Grealy do well on debut and build more depth and give more options. Defence won it for the blues but I reckon Reds would feel they should have won that with just bit more composure on final passes etc

 

[Adam84]

I thought Henry was really good for only his second starting performance, he made a number of runs over the advantage line and seemed pretty good at beating the first defender. Mac Grealy also had a really composed performance and didnt look out of place at all.

 

[Derpus]

That Henry looks like a real gem. Looks better in two games at 12 than Stewart ever has.

Stewart looked better at 10 tonight, less pressure to run it.

 

[tragic]

Just got back from the game - credit to the blues who dominated the collisions and had us on the back foot.
Thought the turning point was the tackle in the air penalty at the 25min mark. Resulted in a 5m lineout, rolling maul, yellow card and two tries whilst down to 14 men. Game over.
Looked like a legit competition for the ball real time at the ground.
What was take on tv/replays? Haven’t seen any comments here so presuming it was worse than it looked real time

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Grealy best debut at Suncorp since Israel Folau v B&I Lions?

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Turning point was Nasser coming on. What a lemon. I blame BPA for the shit card a d the reason Nasser was on to let in the try.
