Reds vs Stormers

[Stargazer]

Geez, two Stormers "tries" disallowed. Both decisions correct, but it still sucks for the Stormers.

I'd love to watch but KayoSports has up and shit itself

[Stargazer]

@NTA You're not missing that much. Compared to the Canes-Landers game, it's boring.

[Duluth]

This is crap

Both sides lucky to have 0

[Stargazer]

Handbags.

[MajorRage]

Only watched the second half but has actually been pretty decent!

Who is the Reds skills coach? Kerevi should be one of the best centres in the game - explosive talent. But seen two examples in two minutes of crap decisions. Firstly, fends a guy off ... but then manages to get tackled 5 yards behind where he fended the guy .... then makes a line break and makes a terrible (low and forwards) pass.

Fuck Tupou is a unit!!!

[MajorRage]

Ref has different application to advantage to me. Knock on, ball goes wide, loads of open space ... surely advantage over?

[Stargazer]

That was a good try from the Reds' halfback!

[MajorRage]

Gotta wonder how long Tupou can be effective for at his current size. He's blowing pretty hard already and don't think he's been on that long?

[Stargazer]

Geez, that looked like a grounding. TMO was too quick to call it, IMO. Third try disallowed. A lot of 50-50 decisions are going the Reds' way in this game.

[MajorRage]

@Stargazer yeah. Although it didn't help that the ref didn't give a judgement in the first place. IF he'd said try .. then I don't think enough evidence to overturn it.

[Stargazer]

"Clear attempt to wrap"?

[Stargazer]

Finally! The Stormers get the try they deserve. May be too late though.

[Bones]

Oh Marais. Rushes it and poop.

[Stargazer]

@Bones He has a groin injury by the looks of it.

Yeah, although rushing through a kick and going all jerky at it isn't going to help...

Is there some way that the Friday night double headers can have the NZ game after the Australian game? God that was a tough watch.

If it is in their 22 then they're tactically disadvantaged compared to the scrum where they'd probably clear.

Rugby is about taking advantage. For a knock-on only if you can't adequately take advantage of broken play / unsettled defensives then you don't deserve referee protection of possession.
