Super Rugby Rnd 6: Waratahs v Reds

[KOB1987]

You know your team is shit when the Reds empty the bench with 20mins to go

That’s some revelation you’re making tonight mate

Actually he's been one of Waratahs best.

those returns though, and running at the line. pretty frustrating given how dangerous he can be.

I think Hegarty has had a great game. But he's been out-posted by Maddocks I think.

It’s a confidence thing, if he was playing for a winning team he’d be killing it

This is what the NBA calls garbage time. All the subs are on for both teams, guys who haven’t played together. The Reds have won. Whatever happens here is meh.

 

[A mutterer]

didnt the ref already previously caution the reds next one to the bin?

yeah youre probably right, but id love to see him just throw caution to the wind and pin his ears back

Bollocks it is. Huge opportunity for non 15 players to take a shot at the future. And the 1st 15 who are left to demonstrate leadership.

Important period for the Reds.

The game is a mess. Scoring against this Tahs side is like scoring against a 5th grade park footy team. Nothing to learn here.

Disagree. Watch where and how he chooses to hit the line.. what players he runs at.. the pace and or vigour he approaches. Can't say I was overly impressed. Agree that there is a confidence element with Maddocks.

 

[A mutterer]

well played mafi, deserved that hat trick

 

[dru]

Reds running out the replacements wont help my 35+ Sportsbet

I'm biting my fingernails on your behalf here. Going close!

 

[KOB1987]

Not a surprising result but there were some positive moments from the Tahs, certainly some good individual displays. Ran out of puff. And locks. Add the incomprehensible yellow to that too.

geez it looks like thor is angling in

hahaha!

The tight heads job is to split the hooker and loose head. Just because he’s very good at it doesn’t mean it’s illegal. Most of the time.

Reds first away win against NSW in 8 years

Harrison best for Tahs, followed by Maddocks.

Perese did not look outclassed by Paisami even with a very personal battle. A battle that Paisami won, but Perese stepped up to the standard.

Reds messy.

This Reds team has nothing of the feeling of ascendancy that 2011 did. They are good, very good. But they are not on the pace that they set for themselves. Or that fans are hoping for.

Physicality they were matched.
But I’ll be interested to see the stats on the number of passes and runs though.
