Super Rugby Rnd 2 2020 Lions v Reds @ Jo'burg - Sunday 12:05am AEDT

[The Nomad]

Was planning on it , but the Tahs v Blues is putting me to sleep .

 

[Ulrich]

It has been bucketing down with rain over the last 2 days so it is not going to be a nice game and I would be surprised to see anyone in the crowd.

 

[Shaker]

One day, Taniela will work on his discpline. One day.

 

[Slim 293]

The commentators somehow keep mixing up Rodda and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).........

 

[Shaker]

Discipline again putting the Lions in good field position. Its one thing to be aggressive, but you also need to be a little smart. Nonsense from JP.

 

[Shaker]

Not a huge fan of not contesting mauls on your own 5m line.

Yeah, that was pretty, pretty, pretty.......... dumb.

 

[Zero_Cool]

Best lineout defense for the Reds is probably just competing in the air, they have a good chance of the steal, and at worst will likely disrupt the ball.

 

[Fried_Chicken_and_Beer]

One day, Taniela will work on his discpline. One day.

Hopefully in our lifetime.

 

[Slim 293]

And now both Reds TH's in the bin.........

Jaco Peyper ref, Lions by 13 now. Biggest homer in the game. The ref that produced Stormers 27-0.

Geez, you weren't wrong

 

[Shaker]

Strong start from Nasser....

 

[Shaker]

Disappointing result. Discipline a massive problem. Well and truly threw this result away.

 

[Happyman]

What supprise go to the lions get hosed by the officials. Fucking useless saffa cheats

Yep, that was ours for the taking.

As I said last week, I'm bloody hate a close loss

 

[Shaker]

The lack of depth in the front row doesnt look great. Scrum stopped dominating the moment JP went off, Zanders a big body but i swear his elbow went down on most of his scrums, Nasser on the other hand has always been weak at scrum time but interesting to see Tupou play 70mins, he looked completely gassed after 30. Defence looked very good at times but just seems prone to switching off at times.

McDermott fantastic, JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 looked ok, not enough Petaia.

Have watched Zander get owned by everyone at QPR level must have a good manager.

 

[Slim 293]

McDermott fantastic

I would say mixed.........

 

[Adam84]

Reds lost that through field position and kicking again, JOC (James O'Connor) has an absolute shocker with his kicking and so too did Hegarty. They gifted the lions field possession in their own half.

Keep the merry go round of flyhalves coming, because JOC (James O'Connor) ain’t the solution

Hmm unless I missed one, Zander only had 4 scrums, one of those his elbow went down, one of them he earned a penalty, one he should have earned a penalty and one where they stayed up and got the ball out but wasn’t a strong scrum.
