Super Rugby Round One: Reds vs Waratahs. Suncorp Feb 24

[Confucius Say]

Lynagh has been impressive. Defence is solid. Taken the high ball and kicking has been virtually flawless.

 

[Derpus]

Like Jorgo’s actually anticipated Petia catching the ball perfectly and hit him precisely as he caught it - great skill - and he gets carded and concedes a penalty try. Rugby just shooting itself in the foot.

More importantly they are both in my draft team. Jorgo cops a points hit for the yellow and Petaia doesn't get credit for the try.

 

[dusk]

BS decision, there were about 2 frames that decided that penalty try.

I'm loving the Nonggorr - Bell battle.
Paisami - Perease is crazy too.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Tahs bench has me concerned though. They’ve shown a lot more than any of the trials so far but there’s a big drop off in talent.

 

[Elfster]

I think I am starting to become a fan of Faessler. He does the basics right. (Though the Tahs hooker is showing up nicely).

And it is always good to get more German names in Rugby.

For no reason, but it seems sound.

Could anything demonstrate the sad fall from grace for rugby than the crowd tonight? Interstate and first round and it’s near empty. Please don’t give me the weather excuse.

What is the crowd attendance figure?

 

[Oldgoldminer]

And could someone please stop NSW from kicking. This is one of the ugliest looking and unskilled Waratahs teams in their professional history.

 

[Pokinacha]

Perese off with a hia after Paisami nuts him. Where’s the consistency?

 

[dusk]

Walton has really held his own at 12. Great to see

 

[A mutterer]

So what's the deal with paisami's tackle on perese? Post match review?

Playing field position with a man in the bin

 

[dru]

That was a solid 10 min defence by NSW a man down.

 

[Derpus]

Seems like the yellow more or less ended this match.

 

[Tomikin]

Bloody Reds can't do anything but maul...

 

[Elfster]

If Max Jorgensen had been penalized theee for offside he may have been quite close to a yellow: he was very offside.

and then it would have been red.

Australian sides need to
Learn from the kiwis how to infringe in their 22.

I am talking about the last 4 weeks, 2 years. Relook at it tomorrow and tell me if it gained field position

 

[Derpus]

God what was that pass from Gordon. Absolutely yeeted it out the front of Gleeson.
