Come on man, that was absolutely doing any defender
Gave him plenty of width as a start.
@jimmyb said in Reds v Chiefs:
@Bones you asking me to be reasonable and level headed?
Jordan would have got him

Jordan would have stripped it and ran 99m downfield to score

Imagine the moan if Dmac had already shuffled out leaving a gaping hole inside
Phrasing
Well Jacomb won’t look out of place in the Highlanders with crap kicks in the opposition half like that

Turinui is unprofessional
The story of rugby commentators as old as time.
@KiwiMurph 22 tackles for the game. And most of them good ones as well
Game has opened up in the last 10 mins as the defence on both sides starts looking very tired.
@KiwiMurph said in Reds v Chiefs:
Wallace has had a very good game. Been impressed with his defence
That game will improve his impact stats
@Donsteppa and the ref started reffing the breakdown

I agree he's played well but that said it looked like Jacobson tackled Wilson without the ball off the back of that scrum which explains the waltz in to the try line
@Canes4life I hate these stats as much as the next person (ie a player can top the tackle count but 70-80% of them can be the second man in) but he’s been busy and largely effective. Few weak hits however

Nah - Wilson had illegally detached.

Refs getting booed off the field by the fans. Lol.
Must be Canberrans on holiday.
They should be directing their irritation at the TMO.

That doesn't matter. According to the laws tackling a player without the ball is dangerous play which overrides the other infringement.
The Aussies have a well justified inferiority complex when it comes to rugby. Their commentary is so hard to listen to.
That said not a great reffing performance - just all over the place.
DMac is getting worse for me. Always had that ability to break a game open. Nowadays just seems to have lost a bit of speed and confidence. Still very good but the edge has gone I think. Always better at fullback where his sideways running is more effective.

Nah - if you're going to cheat like that, you take the medicine.
Tim Horan doubling down on the refs but only the calls that went against QLD. What a fucking loser.
What a feral crowd and terrible commentary. Horan has a grating voice to begin with but he was channelling his inner-Marshall.
Playle wasn't great but the Reds got away with a lot at the breakdown and Wilson should have been penalised for direct contact to Tupaea's head.
