Live coverage: Waratahs vs Reds Trial match from Lismore

Welcome to our coverage of the first Super 14 Trial of 2010

RugbyNoddy and Matty_k are at the game, they’ll be providing twitter coverage, and all their comments will show up in this chat console

This game isn’t televised unfortunately, so no live stream.

G’Day All, welcome aboard

Nice Eddo, sounds like November tour time for me!

except November is one month and I’m doing this until then. !!

How hot is it?

Ask Berrick if you could get him in for a bit of a squeeze test after the warm up. D.Boon style.

Very Moist indeed.

The player comfort meter… a classic!

Berrick isn’t kitted up right? ..

Can spot Anesi, Valentine, not too sure on the tall timber closest,.. and that better be hangaz plopping over some grenades from halfway. nice..

Where is Noddy, I’m sick of the Tahs-centric comments already!!!!

who’s trying to push the post over?

Doesn’t a press pass get our photographer out on the grass? .. lets get some closeups!

Are they playing quarters? I guess they are

likely they are JC.

can these twits hear us or are they just posting comments?

just comments I think

I’ve been relaying some questions to them..

That’s a shame, though I’m stoked that Will has mostly recovered from his illness

Clearly too scared to face the Reds

Is his head bleeding?

evenin all

Ah

is the big boer playing?

Dud will be playing … best chance for a start all year!

He is ‘sposed to be all buff these days

i hope its indoor swimming

ha..

welcome Blue.

hey eddo how are things?

any updates on Roodt or the Bulls through your lines?

I’m fantastic mate.

nothing about Roodt really

haven’t paid much attention to be honest been on holidays

Unbiased?.. not likely.

Bulls pre-season training has been strong

ut

Both at the game are from opposite camps so they will be equally one-eyed

but

lots of injuries

I saw the photos from camp… what about DeWet? .. will he sign/play?

both starting wings and bakkies botha out unitl round 3 at least

no de wet

thank god

are you sure?

majorly huge idiot

es

yes

ok

he captains the spears in a trial aginst the cheetahs this weekend

Both wings? .. they were slim pickings already with habana gone

eddo getting into the NFL playoffs over there?

akona and young hougarrdt both gone for 4 weeks

hougaardt is a scrummie but damn fine wing

k ill shut up now

just in the last week or two – watched the vikings do the cowboys over.. and the colts game

the reds are in……RED!!!!

I loooooovvvveee the cowboys losing

hate them

vikings saints is gonna be HUGE

#4 – unstoppable

any changes to the starting lineups?

Caldwell out

caldwell out.. so.. who’s started in his place

Not sure. Maybe Noddy et al will update us later

any tips as to nd no tries in first quarter

the shot?? wtf is this?

entertainers to ewans fucking shits.

Is the new ‘tackler must release man with ball before pilfering ball’ interpretation being enforced in this match?

Caldwell was listed on the bench

Not good. Predicting Reds by only 50 now.

ha.. laughable.

Any niggle yet?

Noddy is bringing tonights coverage to us by way of his mum’s iPhone, top effort Nodds!

Oh crap! Wasted opportunity

surely not Juan, I’d say Tilse has teh better of them by now…

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/local-sport/3257018/Hurricanes-lose-to-Blues-in-Mangatanioka-rain

hurricanes lost to the blues 19-17

3 tries each,, ,so it looks like the kiwis couldn’t kick for shih.

and highlanders beat the chiefs… 31-24

http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-14/3256912/Highlanders-beat-Chiefs-in-pre-season

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! Good stuff.

That’s it lets call and end to the season

Higgers at 8?

How good is Noddy going as a newshound that he confused A Finger with JFK!!!

Hewitt is smashing Bagdhatis at the moment, 6-0 in the first, 4-2 in the second!

Cosgrove is still a fat bastard in the 20/20 too. It’s all happening.

Bagdhatis just retired hurt, sort shoulder. Pussy.

All the ball but no points….sounds just like last year!!!

@Redsfan, I’d disagree that the Tahs frontrow of Tilse, fitzpatrick and Palmer is overly strong.

Tahs playing usual boring shit

@Moses, I know what you mean. Palmer and Fitzpatrick did well last year though, and they were being talked up over on PR.

It’s not Palmer or Fitzpatrick that concern me…

Nup, but stick with us as we are the only ones doing updates. Two reporters at the ground

@Emma, it’s not been televised.

David Hussey’s out, hope the Vics lose!

That’s the spirit!

Oh fuck – looks like the Reds have peaked already this season….

Nice! at least they care…

Binned in a trial? WTF?

James Hanson musta slipped the ref a $50

Funny, Binned in a trial!

Bloody queenslanders, no discipline!

Pity Kaplan isn’t reffing, then there would be no way the Tahs would win

Good to see we’ve got Sharon Flahive for another season, she smiled at me last year!

Nice! Go Tahs..

Kennedy for the Reds and and Josh Holmes for the Tahs

ballsack

Go hard boys…

Daniel Halangahu is kicking for the tahs!!!!! Josh Holmes scored for the tahs=]

WHat happening?

Noddy and Matty must have gone for a pie

Hows Fitzpatrick going? He is captaining the 2nd Half!

We all support different teams

We’re here for rugby

Not me, I only support the Tahs

Even South african and Kiwis on board

thats cool

Word just from Nodds that Roodt is almost invisible. No impact

same here only the tahs for me

He is a bit big to be invisible.

We tolerate non-tahs fams

fans*

Reds suppoerters tolerate mungo spelling

You’re right Sully so he must be having a shocker

not when he’s still standing inside his 22m

Good stuff, you can stay!
If you want to add a name though, just add it to ‘Your Name’ above the bit you type your comment in

the tahs?

We means Reds, Lucas kicking

and Tahs’ supporters tolerate Reds’ “suppoerters” spelling

WTF are they kicking at goal for?

it was allways going to happen!

There will be a fair bit of goal kicking, better to practice it in the trial than start missing in the season..

End of the 40 mins both teams are fucked and would have been pleading for a shot at goal

hows tahs no# 2 going

and I checked “tolerate” before I posted

im interested in getting fitzpatrick on the map this season

how is the fijian ‘nadolo’ doing for the tahs – is he playing?

Better check out the Pies if you are going to be Australian Rugby Journalists.

I’d also like to see more from Fitzpatrick, however with TPN and Freier ahead of him it’s bizarre that he didn’t take the starting role at the Farce.

so was it a good first half?

cool haa i wish i was there

berrick barnes is 50 billion times better than daniel h hahaah

Anesi crap with the boot? He’s become a settled Tah already!

Anesi could be the find of the year for the tahs… Betham just needs to avoid injury… Holmes needs to pass the ball earlier… on target…

Time to bring on the reserves. Link was planning 15 changes at half time, full teams here: https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/preview-tahs-vs-reds-trial/

Mass changes now

what are the changes?

Who’s at 12 and 13 for the tahs?

rob horne = 13

Carter and Roy Sidey

Wingers are Betham and ?

Nadolo…?

good to hear Morgan getting a run… he’s a top bloke…

hows the atmosphere out there

hey do you recon barnsey is there even tho he is not playign?

playing*

yes he is water boy

haah thanks

the wallabies are not playing tonight so there helping out

is seymour on yet at 10 for tahs

Barnes is a Qld who is embedded with the Tahs to cause maximum mayhem to their season

haaha nup je belongs in nsw

he*

Your comment has been sent

Are you a Saffer Em, you sure spell like one!!!!

traitor

Emma, he belongs in a morgue.

haaha no sometimes i wish but

yeah haaha but i love sa

aus is still tops but

sorry its the holidays and there is no school to make me spell properly so i will spell the way i want JA?

Tim Walsh kicked the penalty for the Reds.

No Red, this is a good as it gets.

We have two blokes at the game twetting in the action. Not ideal but it is better than anywhere else

this is just like my dad commentating sport haaha

Weather?

Reds: Try to Kennedy (prop) conv to Lucas and Penalty to Walsh – 10

Tahs: Try to Josh Holmes and Conv to Hangers = 7

Apparently the Tahs had the better of the scrum battle in the first half but the Reds have changed their entire team for the 2nd half

Is fitzpatrick captaining bthe waratahs…thats what i heard??????

Tim Walsh for the Reds (no.10) looking good

Hangers Capt for the Tahs

What about 2nd Half…still the same

with the captaining

speed mismatch the other way though

Anesi, Betham and Josh Holmes had good first halves

What happened to Weekes?

Hangers had a good first half also

Has toemiki had any game time yet?

Tomiki played the first half but off now

@Eve “Tomeki is a nugget. Spent 10 on the side when Faingaa was binned.”

Thanks moses nugget as in egg?

At 10- 7 after 50-odd minutes mate I’d reckon none of them would be too safe!!!

Walshie is playing better than Lucas did in the first half. he is a good signing for the Reds. Kicked the penalty to put them in front

cool

Come on reds!
