Action a plenty, tries a plenty. – BTW have you all noticed how much the Stan team, like the Fox team are trying to pump up the Tah’s. – I love a game like this. The Reds looked like the only team who’d shown up for the first ten minutes of the game. – The Rebels tried valiantly, and credit too them. Her miss on McReight’s hands on the ground when effecting the turnover that led to the second last try was unacceptable. Rant over. As a Reds fan, I was yelling at some of the penalties that went our way. TMO didn’t think so, but I thought it was fairly clear. – JOC looking very comfortable. Paisami was strong at 13, but I reckon still better at 12 and hope to see him there in the Wallabies. Only swap I would make is Uru on as a starter. McReight regains his feet, gets pulled forward by ASY (who’s still miles in front of the ball and ball carrier), and ASY is the head of the spear around the corner of the breakdown into the Rebels defence. Should have been a Rebels penalty in front. Rebels are looking ok for the No 3 spot, I think. The 16 minute scoring blitz at the start of the game that the rebels never recovered from. The Melbourne Rebels have [â¦] However, there were glimpses of the future side throughout the game. I’m still not seeing whole matches sadly, only highlights, which makes it hard to judge fairly. The Reds scored through Campbell in the left corner for a 39-14 lead. Another intercept, this time for Jock Campbell, lead to Fraser McReight scoring the first try of the second half. The Melbourne Rebels have continued their winning form over the Waratahs on Friday night at AAMI Park. The Reds take on the Rebels next Friday at Suncorp Stadium. The most complete performance of the season. After five minutes it was 14-0 to the Reds. Tupou scored his second try and moved to 7 on the all-time Reds scorers list in the 16 minute. Could have been the beginning of a new Ice Age. Wrigley Field / Ë r ɪ É¡ l i / is a baseball park located on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois.It is the home of the Chicago Cubs, one of the city's two Major League Baseball (MLB) franchises. I reckon McKellar would have torn them a new one. Honourable mention to the Rebels for having the best mullets on field. Probably their most complete performance of the year. Tries tries tries. There have been no draws. Yeah I agree. Only Tupou’s tries count as jobs well done. The finishers also looked settled. That was the final score of the game with the Reds defeating the Rebels 44-19. Still don’t know how Wells ran down Campbell, that was a great effort. Tuesday’s Rugby News looks at future Wallaby RWC teams, the Waratahs recovery, and the Trans Tasman bubble....

I think Stewart proved tonight why he is so critical to the backline performance at 12, which allows Hunter the extra space to create havoc for the opposition at 13. Contact Us, The Reds 16 minute blitz downs the Rebels, Ryan Lonergan larceny steals Brumbies win over Rebels, The Dropped Kick-Off 21 – The National Anthem (Q&A IV), The Dropped Kick-Off 20 – Trimming The Fat (Q&A III). Two intercept tries, one from a Hodge pass and another from a shocker by To’omua. Nice try to Michael Wells towards the end there, well deserved, even though the pass from Koroibete was easily two meters forward. It’s as obvious an obstruction penalty as you get – there’s no maul, because the pile of players bound around – and in front of – the ball are all from the same team. He’s a humanitarian. Agree mate. It’s a poor trend that will see our jackals whistled off the park in the internationals McReight in particular hasn’t nailed his technique yet but is getting away with it under these refs. So the Brums may not have it so easy in this area next time. Refs aren’t really calling hands on the ground this year. Ok, I understand all the maroon-love, and the Rebels were poor at crucial moments but they seriously got the rough end of the pineapple on the real technical penalties – offside, jackler’s hands in front of the ball, offside catch from a teammate, and is contact with the head a card or not?! Anyway time to sign off and fortify my hotel room, before the central Qld rednecks chug down too much jungle juice. The scoreboard finally slowed down, but the rugby wasn’t any less entertaining. Leading the Rebels on the stats sheet in tackles and turnovers, heâs a defensive machine who had the Waratahs running in the opposite direction. Only times she looked to enforce the laws was when one or other of the two sides was inside the attacking 20m area. The Brumbies edged the NSW Waratahs 22-24 in a close-fought Round Seven Super Rugby AU contest at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. The big fella scored two tries and had a pretty run in traffic that no prop should be able to deliver. The Reds had a great chance to hit back from the restart but fluffed their lines and the ball was kicked downfield and the Reds were saved by a steaming Suliasi Vunivalu. But the Rebels hit straight back as Matt To'omua slots a difficult penalty to reduce the Brumbies' lead to 17-15 after 50 minutes. The fact that 19 year old Kalani Thomas has already got significant game time when they have Sorovi speaks volumes about Thorn’s willingness to blood his new players is the reason that they have so much depth. This was a much prettier effort from 25 metres out after O’Connor beat the blindside maul defence and sent the big fella through a yawning chasm of a hole. Petaia, along with a couple of the Rebels should have played himself out of Wallaby contention in this game. From what I’m seeing, I’d say the speed is high but that is common as we’re coming out of winter and wetter pitches than you’ve got. A liitle bit of reality check from Mortlocky here. Tweet Very clear before the Hodge try in particular. That is a much more balanced and potent back line. Paisami kicked and passed with confidence but it was his trademark running game on full display as he barged over for tries in the 15th and 51st minutes. Only two minutes later Hunter Paisami pounce on a slow pass from Hodge to To’omua to run 65 metres for the intercept try. I also have to disagree about Paisami. The rebels couldnât overcome a three converted try and a penalty blitz in the first 16 minutes by the Queensland Reds. A coaches dilemma, all well and good bringing on a new front row at around 55-60 mins but when do you bring on the rest of your finishers? – Big Nela had a blinder well done. The Rebels are genuine contenders in 2021, and as more players return from the injury ward, theyâll stand a real chance at a maiden finals berth. What to do with JP. The rebels had the better of the rest of the first half dragging the score back to 24-14 thatâs as close as they got with the Reds finishing six tries to three winners. Am I the only one who reckons that Flook knocked the ball on in goal in the contest with Hodge for his try after the bell? Is there a more beautiful sight than a swan-diving try by a prop? THE Taniela Tupou who terrorised schoolboy rugby opponents never really went away, Reds coach Brad Thorn believes. – The backs are now settles, lets not mess with that combination. I am so looking forward to the Brumbies game next week. Yep. That platform allowed the Reds halves, McDermott and O’Connor to steer the team around with constant front foot ball. Kalani was nervous and had a charge down in his first game, but has slowly started to build confidence. His replacement was also very good. Fast nimble legs. That backline went much better. I like Petaia in Defence, where as Vuni is still caught out of postion. The [â¦] He just got a whole lot better in every other department. Perfection takes time. Complaining about rolling mauls is not going to get you far. How does it compare to the standard of Prem Rugby at the moment? They are going to try and make up for that piss poor performance. I think the Brums will come with a significantly improved performance at Suncorp. More like a belly flop. Action action action. Looking ahead Saturday 22 May Reds v Crusaders could be worth a road trip. That won’t be a problem this year I guess, but it will next and not long to adjust before 2023. The game might change to outlaw them because they’re regarded as “not a spectacle” or similar, but they’ve been part of the game for over a century, with very little tinkering, and there doesn’t seem to be a mood to change them. The Rebels finally had possession in Reds territory, and they didn’t waste it as Wells bought the score back to 39-19 after a pretty lead up from his team mates. TT is fearsome – funny that Wells could run down Campbell but not make any impression in chasing Tupou. Very unlucky to give up the bonus point win to the Reds in this game. Firstly Lomani cut the Reds to pieces up the right side for 24-7. And wasnt that a great game to watch. O’Connor very composed. Thorn’s committment to blooding young players is certainly in stark contrast to Gibson’s negligence with the Tahs. It was a good game. The Reds forwards dominated with Tupou, Wilson and McReight in particular popping up to cause havoc in attack and defence. Loved that game from the Reds. The ref was definitely at the standard of the majority of games I’ve seen. The wounded and embarassed ponies will be a challenge. The Reds were always going to win, but they certainly didn’t do it with the panache a lot of posters are piling on them. Taniela Tupou scored their first after only two minutes in a typical barging run in close to the ruck. Over to you GAGR’s. The pace was full throttle for almost all of the game. Also, still yet to see any ref figure out that the Reds have a single scrum tactic – they walk around their LHP. Unless the Brums can pull one out of the bag and do them over in Brisbane is could be a home final at Suncorp fortress in a month or so. Here are the ramblings of a water logged Brisbanite, away from home: They gave both the Reds and Brumbies a run for their money in their opening two matches before a win in Perth last weekend a convincing victory over the Waratahs tonight. I thought the same thing about the Stan crew blowing smoke out the Tahs. As much as this week;s form shows that it should be a comfortable win for the Reds, I am mot convinced. It was only when McKellar made wholesale changes with 30 minutes remaining that the Tahs got back in the game. May the Australian Club Championship kick-on. Pretty sure it was to avoid putting the earth off its axis. Some of the calls I could look and think, “Yeah, positioning’s not bad – it’s where you expect the ref to be – so she’s unsighted.” But that one, she was perfectly positioned, just flat out missed it. Some JOC mentoring methinks. Green And... © Copyright Green & Gold Rugby All Rights Reserved. I am not thinking that far ahead. He inflicts his passion on family and anyone who will listen. Spot on Hoppy. Rebels sacked the lineout, McReight had a knee on the deck, Tupou was unbound behind him but had a hand reaching forward to grab ASY. Agree. It will be a long road home for the Waratahs, but they stuck to their game plan and will be all the better for it. Very difficult to come back from being 24 – 0 but the Reds were way too good. Phew! The Waratahs are a young and inexperienced team. Campbell was run down by Hardwick, but quick ruck ball never gave the Rebels a chance to recover and McDermott put McReight through to stretch the score 31-14. The Rebels have a poor record in Canberra, losing seven Super Rugby games, but only winning three times in Australiaâs capital. Faumausili got away with murder in the scrums tonight- he kept changing his bind and locking on to the opposition prop arm after the engage call. Reds title to lose at this stage. Super Rugby 2021 live scores, highlights, video, updates, news: Highlanders v Crusaders, Reds v Rebels It should be an absolute cracker of a game. The rebels couldn’t overcome a three converted try and a penalty blitz in the first 16 minutes by the Queensland Reds. A little blatantly in my book. How she missed the obvious obstruction leading to the penalty warning to the Rebels is beyond me (which was a scrum, for Jock Campbell’s try). The Brumbies and the Melbourne Rebels have played each other 20 times in Super Rugby, the Brumbies have won 11 times and lost nine times. They looked really good in patches. Josh Flook put the Reds in bonus point territory in the 76 minute scoring off a Hegarty cross kick after Hodge spilled the ball in goal. I was skeptical about Thorn in the early days…he didn’t really have a coaching record to speak of…but my word he’s created something special up there. After a penalty it was 17-0. The Reds also dealt fairly well (to my untrained eye) with the Rebs rolling maul. Off the back of the rolling maul, the attacking lineout is becoming a regular occurrence in Super Rugby AU, and Uelese will be the one to steer the ship for the Rebels. What was your opinion of the game EP? BTW, I loved seeing Hamish Stewart back at 12. I think we have seen from history that the dominant team gets a lot of the 50/50 calls from the ref (think ABs and Crusaders). O’Connor has pretty much sealed the 10 spot and Captaincy imo. With one leg forward he could have done himself some serious damage. Same with Jake McDermott. To read non-rugby content head to http://www.onesully.com.au. Ryan Lonergan was the iceman against the Rebels, but his younger brother, Lachlan, stared tonight, scoring off the bench. They gave both the Reds and Brumbies a run for their money in their opening two matches before a win in Perth last weekend a convincing victory over the Waratahs tonight. Seems to have stagnated whereas guys like Paisami and McReight have kept growing and adding dimensions to their game. Agree but he modified the dive so there was no chance of getting a rev up from Thorne for lairising. It had been over a year since the home side had actually played at home, however aside from keeping the Waratahs 2021 season winless, here's what else we learnt: 2021 is Super Rugby AUâs battle of the No.7s, and Hardwick has again staked his claim. Reds still have lots of improvement in them which makes for an interesting rest of season. Only one negative i can see in the Reds right now is Petaia. He’s still trying to do it all himself is Jordy. After a long-awaited return, a burn-boy dives over! One try (Campbell’s?) Long legs. While his time as a Wallaby was just a blink in 2017, heâs bound to be on Dave Rennieâs radar in 2021. It also sets up a tantalising game for third with the Rebs and Force… Rebels rode that leniency from the ref (who had a good game generally) for several tries. Particularly thought the penalty where there were 2 Reds players not rolling away and ref gave the penalty to the Reds because Rebels player had rolled on top of them. All rights reserved. The rebels had the better of the rest of the first half dragging the score back to 24-14 that’s as close as they got with the Reds finishing six tries to three winners. Settled and really seem to have a culture where they just love playing rugby together. Stewart excellent. However, that try tonight has secured his position. Another try from a fucking rolling maul, legalised obstruction!!! Not great over the 20m run, but over 60 can close distance on most players. Time to look elsewhere for a Wallabies 23. That is why the Reds will be very hard to beat this year (but not impossible). The refereeing seems less strict around the breakdown and high tackle. "Those gold boots are on fire," Tim Horan says. I am starting to see JP as a super sub. Coming back from injury via the bench, Wallabies hooker Jordan Uelese showed his home crowd what they missed out on in 2020. All well and good to give the replacements extended game time but 30 minutes with three, four or more changes is really risky, and it nearly went to shit on Friday night. He can't guarantee unbiased opinion but he can tell you the Reds are Awesome! The Reds (4-0) went to the top of standings thanks to the victory and notched a club record ninth-straight win at Suncorp Stadium in the process. Then he and Hodge combined up the centre for a beautiful long range effort with Hodge just managing to plant the ball over the line in the covering tackle. Lucky escape. Bring him on in the last 20 min to wreak havoc. The Queensland juggernaut shows no signs of slowing, the Reds consigning the NSW Waratahs to a fifth consecutive Super Rugby AU loss in a bruising and entertaining affair in Sydney. Pretty shit tbh as it’ll only feed the board. Flashes of brilliance but also so much dumb stuff, Evening GAGR’s from Wet Central QLd. – Beware the wounded Canberra crew. Shane "Sully" Sullivan has been in man love with the game since high school in the 70's. They will definitely be up for it after The coach reads then the riot act. Tanieal Tupou. Hope the coach thought it was all worthwhile. I rate their no. It’s not that they are trying to cheat any more than the opposition, it is just that the ref has a subconscious mindset of them being the more positive, attacking team, and therefore reward them accordingly. from a definite illegal pilfer by McReight with both hands on the ground over the ball. The Reds scrum depth started to tell with signs of dominance starting to appear. – Hunter P looks dangerous everytime he gets the ball. Instead, we give you the teams for this weekend. MT has so little finesse in his long passing game and in his kicking game, that although I’ve been a fan since his Brumbies days, he just should not be in the Wallabies. Lonergan Genes. Not so sure. This was a close call, but the Brumbies hung on for a hard-fought victory over a spirited NSW Waratahs under the lights of the famous old ground after a dogged second-half fightback by the hosts. They do it every, single, time…, Just another Rugby tragic. WINLESS WARATAHS: Rebels claim first home victory, LONG LIVE: May the Australian Club Championship kick-on, TO THE BANK: Queensland Reds need for speed, The Rugby.com.au are a proud part of Rugby AU. Right now I’m not sure Petaia is in a Wallaby 23 or even the Reds best starting 15 once Vunivalu is back. McWright worth MOM rather than Paisami who was also good but so was McDermott. 24-0 down, the Rebels finally decided they were here to play. But i don’t really see a lot of scrums, lineouts, nor routine plays that lead to lack of scores so the overall state of play is hard to judge. The Waratahs crossed twice when the Rebels let up, showing they have the potential. Up to that point the Brumbies were well on top and on track for a bonus point win. I am worried about next week. Working off the ball, his ability to hide in space and follow play saw him sweep round the back of the Rebels attack and provide support options. Hodge is ponderous and his big boot hardly contributes to any games. Thereâs no doubt a plane ticket to Tokyo has his name on it if he continues with these standout performances. Reds looking grrrrrreeeatt right now. Apart from the kicking duels, it seemed to be a fairly fast paced match. Yeah I want to win, but first and foremost good rugby is what I want. Lachie Anderson narrowly missed out in the RUGBY.com.au team of the week the past few rounds. What to do with him.
