Super Rugby Rd 5, - Reds v Jaguares - 18/3 - 7.40am Buenos Aires

[Up the Guts]

The Jaguares are offside at almost every breakdown

 

[Up the Guts]

Gee that's a good touch finder from Lance

 

[TOCC]

Reds going long on the line out, showing confidence in BPA’s throwing, and it sets a strong attacking platform if it works but it’s just not coming off at the moment

 

[Wilson]

Daugunu's confidence (and execution) is coming on in leaps and bounds

Jesus Christ, we got a forward pack this year!

 

[TOCC]

Well deserved try for the Reds

 

[Wilson]

God it's good to see reds sides play with hunger again

"Behind the last feet" must not translate well into Spanish...

This Reds team is so good across so many aspects of the game, if the backs could just gel in attack and hold onto the ball they'd be one of the top teams in the comp IMO.

Gee, the Reds are playing some good footy. The little things are letting them down a bit - pushed passes / passes behind the man - but they are creating a lot of chances and half chances. Good to watch.

 

[Wilson]

A small improvement in support play will pay dividends for the reds, their trajectory this season is looking great

Oh, and the scrum is bloody good.

 

[dru]

Timou' scrummaging is exactly what we had been hoping for.

 

[Up the Guts]

Ah the old crowd and television producers induced review

 

[dru]

Korczyk is playing a different kind of 7 than we are used to in Aus. More of a second 6. I don't think it is just because he is not as mobile as, say Hooper. It looks coached/intentional. More backbone in the pack.

 

[TOCC]

And again this TMO business is killing the game

Great defence from the Reds on their own line

 

[Wilson]

Nervous bit of play there but excellent maul defence from the reds.

Not watching this live, will watch the replay tonight.


But it sounds as though the Reds are getting the basics right. Starting at the beginning and building good foundations is always a good approach when building a team of any kind, sporting or otherwise.

 

[Up the Guts]

The Reds in the past few seasons probably would have given in and conceded a try in that sort of passage of play. Great maul defence and effort after the bell.

 

[danfletcherau]

Defending multiple lineout mails and powerful forward runs on the goal line over several phases... yes please! Great effort by the lads there.

And thumping the fuck out of anything in an opposition jersey.
