Waratahs V Reds July 13 2013

[Zander]

Reds are vulnerable this week.

Horwill and Genia are massive losses, but Fainga'a out takes our your defensive spine and organisation. Foley is going to have a field day.

Fainga'a was on the bench originally.

 

[Badger]

If I take the ticket do I have to go? I've given away Bledisloe tickets in the past rather than go to a ground where you need binoculars to watch the big screens.
.

At least you could see the screen!

 

[Sully]

I'd love to be at this match. If I leave now I can just about make kick off! No I'm wrong. If I leave now and drive really really fast I can just about make kick off!

I'll be there. Should be a cracker. Can't wait. Actually heading out soon for a few pre game froffies.

Tom Carter is currently playing for Uni so he's obviously been omitted from the bench. 5:2 - Cheika's expecting a dog fight.

So no official last game for Tommy, unless he wanted the Lions one to be his last. Good way to finish off.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Two tries against an international opponent is a good way to go out.

 

[Mr Doug]

Enjoy the match those of you fortunate enough to be going.
May the best team (on the night) win.


Reds 20 to beat the Tahs 13!!

 

[Ash]

Carter hasn't exactly looked like a Super rugby player for Uni vs the Rats, maybe not a bad call by Cheika already.

topo, I hope you enjoyed your "froffies". I've had a few Reds to "get into the mood", much easier than Tahs supporters having a "few blues"! (Maybe go out and "punch a neighbour" to get 'in the groove')!! We can only hope for a ref of better quality than Ashes umpire last night!! Bring it on!

9:34 gone. Reds 3 - NSW 0.

1 QC (Quade Cooper) penalty kick. Scruffy game so far.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Try time Cam Crawford under the sticks. Conversion McKibbin. NSW 7 Qld 3 after 11 minutes.

Nice work from Barnes helping him get it down went unnoticed by the commentators.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Rocket Rod replies. Checking for a possible forward pass.

One Eye Kearns is showing his true colours.

Ruled forward by TMO.

Score remains 7-3 to NSW 16:30 gone.

 

[CTPE]

Coach killer from Betham ;(

 

[Scotty]

I vote for video refs not being able to adjudicate on forward passes.

Waratahs had 2-3 forward passes in the 5 minutes preceding that try that we're ignored, Reds have one that is only picked up because it is part of a try.

Why is one forward pass a bigger indiscretion than another?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Ben Lucas gets meat in the corner for the Reds on the end of a bit of a speculator from QC (Quade Cooper).

All from Coopers handy work.

 

[CTPE]

Good tussle between Slipper and Fat Cat in the first couple of scrums.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

OMG that is an absolutely shit house call. No way was that even a penalty.

Very good hit actually. I don't mind Steve Walsh but that was a shocker. This goes with the crap Red card call in the Chiefs/Blues game before hand.

 

[Slim 293]

Yellow card?

Steve Walsh........ you clown.........
