I think L.Tui will be on the next plane to South Africa in case Douglas gets banned

Reds really under pressure now, saved only by repeated poor handling by the Jags. Something has to give eventually.

Failure to find touch, rookie reds mistake

Edit: that somehow paid dividends

Horror kick from Stewart but it ends up being advantageous for the Reds. I expect Stewart is very nervous wouldn't normally see that from him at NRC or club level.

I think that try fell victim to the old "clear and obvious" clause. If it had been onfield decision try, it would have been a try. When onfield is no try, the video refs sometimes seem to lose their nerve.

I understand why they took out the "try or no try" call but sometimes it leads to results like this.

It does look mostly like nerves effecting his game, doesn't it. Makes this a good game for him to get proper time at 10, the jaguares have been diabolical this half so he can learn from these mistakes without too much risk.

Yep and it’s expected and understable of a bloke his age, 2018 is his apprenticeship to learn from Lance with the occasional OJT. But it would be unfair and unrealistic to expect him to start and run the backline for a full 80 with the composure Lance has

Spot on, it just comes back to a classic example of dealing with the step up in speed and physicality. Hopefully he takes it in his stride.
