| Western Force vs Queensland Reds Super 14 | (04/03/2009) |
|
10:08
|
Moses: Reds kickoff, Shepherd touches it in the air then the ball goes out… bad mistake and Reds get a lineout on the Force 22 |
|
10:10
|
Moses: Cross just tried a stupid no look behind the back pass, straight to Quade. Force were in the Reds 22 there |
|
10:11
|
Moses: Cross making good metres in midfield, Brown looking Paluesque making 10 metres through the middle as well |
|
10:13
|
Moses: Giteau kicks posession away with a grubber to Mclinden who kicks it to the shithouse. Mitchell covers it but his clearance is charged down by Reds winger |
|
10:13
|
Moses: Horwill done for hands on the ground, second time. Force penalty doens’t find touch. Schoolboy error. |
|
10:13
|
Moses: Reds looking very nice on attack, Van through a gap superbly. |
|
10:14
|
Moses: Higinbotham wearing Rocky’s gloves and playing fullback. nice. |
|
10:16
|
Moses: Barnes just hit a long range drop goal, missed to the left by a long way |
|
10:17
|
Moses: McLinden playing very well, lazy defence on the chip kick from the force there – he not only he re-gathers but also wins a shortarm |
|
10:18
|
Moses: Reds back three loving to run it. Ioane, McLinden switch back to Ioane and he’s through. gets to 5 metres and throws a speculator which is knocked on by Blair Connor |
|
10:19
|
Moses: Hardman getting a man love knee rub from a trainer who looks a fair bit like Morgs pieman Turinui |
|
10:20
|
Moses: McIsaac getting his head taped back together, just the white tape stuck on like a Pat Cash headband |
|
10:21
|
Moses: Hardman throws a lineout straight to the Reds, penalised for not straight as well.. ordinary effort. Force attack, kick, knock on from the retrieve |
|
10:22
|
Moses: Force get the ball again and kick it away, thank fark the Reds wil run it. |
|
10:22
|
Moses: Daley just smashed Pocock round the noggin, full arm and good kick so the Force are now in the Reds 22. Hodgson in the blood bin |
|
10:23
|
Moses: Shit throw by McIsaac, reds run it from 5 metres, DIgby dragged into touch on the 22, which is about where the kick would have gone anyway. |
|
10:24
|
Moses: Force fuck up their lineout, Horua penalised for leaving ht elineout early. Reds don’t find touch. |
|
10:24
|
[Comment From Gagger] Go Mosebro! |
|
10:25
|
Moses: Cheers Gagger, Force actually running it now, almost into the Reds 22… better kick soon we’re on 4th phase. Van Humphries you dick, not listening to DICKinson, penalty right in front |
|
10:26
|
Moses: Gits converts, 3-0 to the Force, 18 minutes on the clock. |
|
10:27
|
Moses: Kick kick kick kick halfway, Force throw |
|
10:27
|
Moses: Cummins breaks the lineO’Connor pops through a missed tackle from McLinden and it’s try time to the future Waratah. 8-0 to the Force |
|
10:29
|
Moses: Giteau makes the conversion, 10-0 at the 21st minute. |
|
10:29
|
Moses: Really the Reds dominating everywhere but the scoreline. Cooper sneaks in a forward pass, McLinden making more metres, Quade goose stepping. Horwill lost it in contact with Sharpe |
|
10:29
|
Moses: and kick. |
|
10:30
|
Moses: Cooper good kick behind the Force line, guess they didn’t think he’d kick it. Force throw on their 10m line |
|
10:31
|
Moses: Reds steal the lineout, nice effort. Short arm to reds. McLInden into th eline, on the 22 now. |
|
10:31
|
Moses: Reds are in fucking love with the inside pass to attack tight. |
|
10:32
|
Moses: Cooper passes in the tackle, looked like it came off Berricks knee to me, ruled forward |
|
10:33
|
Moses: Reds scrum puts a good wheel on the hapless Force pack.. |
|
10:35
|
Moses: Reds scrum 10m out, super solid ball from the Reds. Lose it in the ruck though |
|
10:37
|
Moses: kick kick kick meh |
|
10:38
|
Moses: Valentine not releasing, free kick reds. Barnes kicks it out on the full, outside his 22. Oops! Ref says honest mistake and gives the reds a scrum. fair enough cause the ref put out the full arm.. |
|
10:40
|
Moses: Force getting close now, strong drive by Cummins, 5m out. Mitchell first receiver, runs straight through the Reds line and try to Giteau’s lover. Former Reds 15, Reds 0 |
|
10:41
|
Moses: Gits doesn’t miss from right in front, 17-0. |
|
10:43
|
Moses: Humphries has about 200 metres of bandages on his left thigh, looks like a mummy now |
|
10:44
|
Moses: Force actually win their own lineout, then Cross loses it forward. Scrum to the reds in the middle of the Oval |
|
10:45
|
Moses: One of the Force props has a tissue rolled up into a cone and sticking out of his ear! |
|
10:47
|
Moses: kick kick kick kick kick. Force kick it too far, Reds 22 but they take a quick tap. Catch the Force napping big time and they’re back in the Force half. Lose it though and kick. Reds run it… |
|
10:48
|
[Comment From Gagger] “former reds” hehehe. Think of all the TWF membership we’re losing!! ;) |
|
10:48
|
[Comment From Guest] Just checking in before I head off to bed. Reds look like they need to start making some better decisions… Or this will be the one that got away. Keep fighting the good fight Moses |
|
10:48
|
Moses: @Gags some of them are future Tahs… should mention that |
|
10:49
|
Moses: @Guest Reds make 10 good decisions then 1 shocker. They are exciting though. |
|
10:50
|
Moses: Sharpe’s gone off holding his eye.. hope it’s not too bad cause he’s ugly enough as it is. |
|
10:50
|
Moses: I bet the Force claim that’s a blood bin, didn’t see any claret though and it should count as a substitution |
|
10:52
|
Moses: 40 mins now, Reds lineout, spread it wide. Force holding on. Quick tap, Force not back 10 playing advantage, Digby runs into about 7 defenders and makes 10 metres with the entire Force pack hanging off him. Over the try line but held up. Half time, 17-0 to the purple ones |
|
10:52
|
[Comment From Sully] We are really sucking here. no patients at too many pushed passes |
|
10:52
|
Moses: @Sully, I have to agree, need to turn this dominance into points |
|
10:56
|
[Comment From Sully] I am starting to get frustrated with the Reds now. So much talent and not enough focus |
|
10:57
|
Moses: McLinden and IOANE have been highlights for the Reds. Force defending well in their own 22, guess that’s what you need. |
|
10:59
|
[Comment From Gagger] 63% possession, 4 mins in force 22 and 0 points How do you do that? |
|
11:00
|
Moses: @Gagger, the trick is to fuck up everytime you’re about to score |
|
11:00
|
Gagger: Genius |
|
11:00
|
Moses: For more examples see Waratahs vs Brumbies, Waratahs vs Crusaders |
|
11:00
|
Moses: Gagger is now a pannelist, you like the power? |
|
11:01
|
Moses: Plan for the Reds in the second half, do exactly what you’re doing.. then kick a drop goal when you get 5 metres out |
|
11:02
|
Moses: Shit kick from Lucas, side of the boot and it’s a force lineout on the reds 22. HOwever, Reds win the Force lineout but knock it back to no-one. Scrum Reds |
|
11:03
|
Moses: sorry, scrum Force.. |
|
11:03
|
Moses: Lucas with a big clearance kick, Mitchess puts up a bomb and chases, McLinden fumbles his second one in the air. |
|
11:04
|
Moses: Sharpe returns from the Blood Bin. though he wasn’t bleeding but that’s a different story. |
|
11:05
|
Moses: Force win a full arm from the scrum, Reds taking the front row down…. |
|
11:05
|
Moses: News flash Dickinson, the Force scrum goes down like mum on fathers day. |
|
11:05
|
Moses: Anyway, Giteau converts, 20-0 to the Force. |
|
11:06
|
Moses: Greg Martin cracking the shits “without him [Giteau] the Force are nothing” |
|
11:06
|
Moses: Queensland loosehead Daley has a kick. Out on the full. Dumbass |
|
11:07
|
Moses: Force kick, Brown chases, McLinden tries to step but dick brown’s not falling for that. Clearance makes it 3 metres. |
|
11:08
|
Moses: Cannon reckons the Force Lineout has been solid. Funny, I reckon they’ve lost about 4 on their own throw! |
|
11:09
|
Moses: Digby makes Cummins his bitch throwing him to the ground in mid field. Force kick. |
|
11:09
|
Moses: Reds run, bomb by McLinden, Cummins gets it but McLinden’s got a hold of his undies and isn’t letting go. Cummins continues to give himself a wedgie |
|
11:10
|
[Comment From Guest] Thanks Moses, vokket now I start to catching up on 1st world technologgy! |
|
11:10
|
Moses: @Cheers guest, who is are you? |
|
11:11
|
Guest: PaarlBok!! |
|
11:11
|
Moses: Brown just put a grubber kick through the line, Reds gather in goal. |
|
11:12
|
Moses: @PaarlBok, though it might be you… vokket gave it away ;) |
|
11:13
|
Moses: Higginbotham on for Humphries. Locas is holding his ribs and goes off for McKibbin |
|
11:13
|
Guest: Just a update on the cricket, Pointing won the toss and will bat first. |
|
11:13
|
Moses: Cheers for the update, guess I’ll watch that game as soon as this finishes! |
|
11:14
|
Moses: Force put a big push on, it’s almost as if their scrum doesn’t completely suck this week. Still, Force give up a full arm and Reds boot it to the 22. |
|
11:14
|
Guest: Do you guys only do the Aus games like this? I’ll maybe get some more good Saffers to join in with us. |
|
11:15
|
Guest: Hope you dont mind me chipping in at times, Cant in my live talk rugby alone. |
|
11:15
|
Moses: hey no probs at all PB, good to have people watching ;) |
|
11:15
|
Moses: Reds 2 metres out, throwing it to anyone… wonder if they have a plan? Keeping it tighter now, pick n drive… |
|
11:16
|

|
11:17
|
Moses: Nice left hook into the ranga traitor’s glass jaw. |
|
11:17
|
Moses: Higgers gets a yellow, was worth it for the comedy value though. |
|
11:17
|
Moses: solid 3 minutes of play from Higginbotham….. |
|
11:18
|
Moses: kick kick kick, reds run it. |
|
11:19
|
Guest: Moses you a Reds supporter? |
|
11:19
|
Moses: tonight I am, though I tipped the Force |
|
11:20
|
Guest: Suppose I must login to get my name on yur thingie? |
|
11:20
|
Moses: um.. not quite sure how it works tbh… |
|
11:21
|
Moses: Force hold their own with an extra player in the scrum. |
|
11:21
|
Moses: The Force have turned into the Reds now, hot potato hot potato |
|
11:22
|
Moses: @PB, doens’t it ask for your name above the box you type in? |
|
11:22
|
Moses: Punching on again, funny when you put a bunch of queenslanders in different shirts they want to hit each other… |
|
11:22
|
PaarlBok: Sorry Boet, will do that. |
|
11:22
|
Moses: nice work |
|
11:23
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Is there one man off for the Reds? |
|
11:23
|
PaarlBok: Now it want to moderate me, sure they have to. hahhahahaha |
|
11:24
|
Moses: Yeah, Higginbotham for a left hook on Valentine |
|
11:24
|
Moses: @PB: sorry bout that, I was trying to make your name go back to blue |
|
11:24
|
PaarlBok: Yellow or Red? |
|
11:25
|
Moses: Just a yellow, got it when he’d been on for 3 minutes! |
|
11:25
|
Moses: future Ulster player Timani Horoua runs through Berrick for a try, Gits kicks, 27-0 to the Force! |
|
11:26
|
PaarlBok: Kak hey but a scrumhalf have to be hardarse, helps if he have a TH to cover his arse. |
|
11:26
|
Moses: 61 mins, Higgers got 2 minutes to go in the bin. |
|
11:26
|
Moses: Castle’s off, AJ Whalley to soften up the scrum…. extra man to the Force and they hold their own. |
|
11:27
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Look like a run away from the Farce then. Usually your lots derbies is close as hell. To many Reds in the Force team I think. |
|
11:27
|
Moses: Yep, the Force have the better queenslanders… Higginbotham’s back now |
|
11:28
|
Moses: Reds into the Force 22 now. |
|
11:28
|
Moses: Sharpe lying all over the ball, better than being on the wing I guess… |
|
11:29
|
Moses: Turnover, Gits clears, quick throw in reds, run it from halfway. Up to the 22 now. |
|
11:30
|
Gagger: Leckie! |
|
11:30
|
Moses: Connor may have scored in the corner, TJ rules he went into touch. Quade makes the TV signal so the ref goes upstairs. Foot was well into touch, should have listened to Leckie! Quade was entertaining though…. |
|
11:31
|
Moses: Force lose their lineout AGAIN! 5 metres out and Reds have it. Wonder if Cannon was watching? |
|
11:31
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] I tipped the Force also but for a close one. Did they score? |
|
11:31
|
Moses: Reds go tight, tight, tight, WIDE. Offloads, Connor in the same corner again, going upstairs AGAIN! |
|
11:33
|
Moses: He might have dropped it over the line, might have been downward pressure, nup. You fucking GOOSE! Two tries bombed in the same corner in 2 minutes. Still 27-0 to hte Force |
|
11:33
|
Moses: UNLECKIE! |
|
11:33
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Bad Luck. |
|
11:34
|
Moses: Nah they make their own luck and it’s shithouse |
|
11:34
|
Moses: Connor makes some brilliant kicks, Reds lineout 2 metres out |
|
11:35
|
[Comment From Lindommer] Brilliant, Moses, just brilliant. Don’t stop. |
|
11:35
|
Moses: Force chasing a bonus point whipping now…JOC has been good, he’ll look great in Blue next year (Sky Blue that is) |
|
11:35
|
Moses: @Lindommer, cheers for dropping by ;) |
|
11:36
|
Gagger: The Lemonade sandwich! |
|
11:37
|
Moses: 70 minute mark now, AJ Whalley just dropped it cold. Mooney’s flying the white flag now, Berrick’s off! |
|
11:37
|
Moses: AJ is the softest man on earth, lucky Higgers punched Valentine and not AJ  |
|
11:37
|
Moses: Force are looking good at the breakdown, |
|
11:38
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Lind should have been in bed long time ago. |
|
11:38
|
Moses: Turnover, Future Brumby Gits spreads it wide, no-one marking Cross who scores the bonus point |
|
11:39
|
Moses: Fark it’d be embarrising to be a Queenslander, still on nought. Cannon “A pivital moment in the 2009 season”. Guess so, they might make the top 8 now.. |
|
11:39
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Ntini just got Clarke for 1, Aus 1/2 |
|
11:39
|
Gagger: This certainly is “entertaining”…. |
|
11:39
|
Moses: Giteau misses the conversion, 32-0 to the Force. |
|
11:40
|
Moses: Bugger about Clarke, never rated him as an opener |
|
11:40
|
Moses: CONNOR SCORES, Third time lucky! |
|
11:40
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] So they got the bonuspoint. The Force sure can krap the cards from now on. |
|
11:41
|
Gagger: Reds comeback!?! |
|
11:41
|
Moses: Turnover, good hands from all the forwards who find Blair on the end of the line. |
|
11:41
|
Moses: @Gagger… Reds comeback… if Wally Lewis was on the bench I wouldn’t rule it out… fucker! |
|
11:41
|
Moses: 32-5 to the Force |
|
11:41
|
[Comment From Patrick] Jeebus. |
|
11:42
|
Moses: G’Day Patrick, cheers for joining us. |
|
11:42
|
[Comment From Patrick] no worries, great work fellas, this is better than the pub (well if it 840 in the morning and the pub is shut it is..) |
|
11:43
|
Moses: Reds run it, through the middle of everything. They don’t want to go to a ruck and just keep throwing speculators which all come off. Force taken into touch |
|
11:43
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Time left? |
|
11:43
|
Gagger: Cooper it was through the centre |
|
11:43
|
Moses: We’re at 77 mins now |
|
11:43
|
[Comment From Patrick] If at first you don’t succeed, pick yourself up and try again, try again…[reds’ theme song] |
|
11:44
|
Gagger: Ezra Taylor’s doing some good support play |
|
11:44
|
Moses: Indeed, Force have dominated the breakdown though |
|
11:44
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] to little to late. |
|
11:44
|
[Comment From Patrick] try this PaarlBok: http://atdhe.net/live-tv-5875.html |
|
11:44
|
Gagger: “reds haven’t won on the road since week 9 2006” |
|
11:45
|
Moses: Was that back in the days of Steady Eddie? |
|
11:46
|
Gagger: Force lineout 6m from reds line |
|
11:46
|
Moses: Full Time, Force score again through Haig Sare! |
|
11:47
|
Moses: 37-7,kick to come |
|
11:47
|
Gagger: What’s the official description of this sort of loss? |
|
11:47
|
Gagger: Shellacking? |
|
11:47
|
Gagger: Wooping? |
|
11:47
|
Moses: Haig Sare drives through Cooper, McKibbon, and the Reds 6 |
|
11:47
|
Gagger: Pasting |
|
11:48
|
Gagger: ? |
|
11:48
|
Moses: The only bloke who can stop Haig Sare from 2 metres is Matt Henjack.. |
|
11:48
|
Gagger: :D |
|
11:48
|
Moses: Seems the only thing worse than the Force home record is the Reds away record |
|
11:49
|
Moses: Why’s Russel Crowe interviewing Sharpie? |
|
11:49
|
Moses: Oh… it’s Brendan Cannon. |
|
11:49
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Kafferpak (sorry did not mean to) in the old SA. New one just a hidding I think. |
|
11:50
|
[Comment From Patrick] poor Blair Connor has been pasted tonight from the bits I saw, needs a few kilos (like 20) to not get bashed |
|
11:50
|
Moses: Blair reminds me of Chavanga when he first started. Quick but weak as piss |
|
11:51
|
Moses: could get blown away by a stiff breeze |
|
11:51
|
Gagger: FULL TIME FORCE 39 – REDS 7 |
|
11:51
|
Moses: Hey PB, bet that stuffed your margin! |
|
11:52
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Thanks Moses, have a nice weekend and myself holding tumbs for the Stormers tomorrow. Its hot as hell in these parts, 40 degrees! |
|
11:53
|
Moses: See ya PB, enjoy the cricket. and no I won’t wish you luck tonight OR tomorrow ;) |
|
11:53
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] right street but wrong adress. luckily havent tip the Reds! |
|
11:54
|
Moses: wrong end of the N7 I reckon… |
|
11:55
|
[Comment From Patrick] Thanks Moses |
|
11:55
|
[Comment From Patrick] Thanks Moses, sterling work |
|
11:55
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Sure, you know the N7? Tonighte I’ll just keep outside on the stoep. |
|
11:56
|
Moses: I haven’t driven the N7, most of the N2 though |
|
11:56
|
Gagger: Great stuff Mosebro. I enjoyed being the Phil Kearns |
|
11:56
|
Moses: I was the Phil Kearns, you weren’t one-eyed Tahs mad enough.. |
|
11:57
|
Gagger: Well Im sure as shit not Marto |
|
11:57
|
Moses: This is true.. Cannon made some pretty ordinary comments about the Force lineout being dominant as well. |
|
11:57
|
Moses: Did the Reds cross the line 4 or 5 times with the ball? |
|
11:57
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] Cricket 1/14 , we have two Vodacup games tonight 17hoo WP vs SWD in George and Bulls vs leopards in Potch at 19h00, so plenty of sport. |
|
11:58
|
Moses: Connor went over 3 times, Digby held up on halftime, |
|
11:58
|
Gagger: When do we stop this live report – or has it become the blog? |
|
11:58
|
[Comment From PaarlBok] N2 ! Will drive that way next weekend to the southern tip of Africa, Agulhas. |
|
11:58
|
Moses: That’s not far from paarl though ?? |
|
11:59
