Hurricanes v Reds
-
If Lam wants to play test footy then he needs to sort out his ball security.
-
if the selectors were leaving it to the last minute on deciding to select him or not, those 2 casual drops wont have helped.
-
Proctor ok after that tackle?
-
@donsteppa also helps not dropping it...
thought Jordie blew a try by not passing outside early on

@canefan haha not straight lineout, then forward pass, all right in front of the ref.
Paying Ozzie back from last week
-
24-20 at the break...after starting well, canes seemed to relax and then the Reds actually took the lead.
Tighten up a bit and they will run away with it.

I reckon he needed to play his way in - that's not going to do it.
Having a good look at Matt Proctor size-wise. I reckon he's a similar size to Beauden and TJ - probably shorter than both, similar build. He's way smaller than Umaga-Jensen. Reason right there why he'll struggle to make the ABs.

I'm not watching, but reading this it seems like one of those weeks where a team is slightly 'off' in focus. It is understandable and probably desirable (as long as you still bank the points) during a season when you can't be expected to be 'on' for every game.
-
There's a few Wallaby players in decent form this year - Genia, Folau, Beale, Kerevi. They don't have a 10 and their forwards will suck ass, but those blokes should be able to put on a try or two (realise I'm grasping a bit here now that I actually type this).
-
how did Proctor not score there!
-
nice skills there with the ball by Lam.
-
@machpants good strong running for a prop though...not sure HIggers sholda been allowed to get that through the ruck though
-
Good to see Perenara playing deep into the game in his comeback
-
@machpants went super low after seeing NMS pamled off
-
Based on tonight (and this season really) I don't see how Ardie gets back in. We miss Shields far more than we miss Ardie, especially on defense. I'd expect an AB quality flanker to have really imposed himself on this Reds team by now.
