Chiefs v Reds

@antipodean said in Chiefs v Reds:

The Reds just beat the Highlanders playing away. And their weakened selection got humped by the Crusaders. I think GC Invitational XV will be shown up as pretenders tomorrow night.

Well that has cursed things

Doing all I can to fix these ladder positions.

Surprised the Reds are passing the ball so much in their own territory

[Duluth]

2nd knock from Narawa. Reds should be kicking to him often

[taniwharugby]

plenty of illegal looking cleanouts

[antipodean]

Terrible error to handover possession in your own 22.

You'd think they'd apply a safety first approach in these conditions to lineouts.

[ACT Crusader]

Reds ruck work is pretty damn good. Some of their passing from 9 and 10 hasn’t been great.

Good pressure and now try by the Refs.

[antipodean]

Dreadful maul defence from the Chiefs - waited too long to engage and got smashed.

[ACT Crusader]

And the not taking the 3 strategy worked again for the Reds.

Chiefs didn't look great in the wet in Fiji

Reds might fancy their chances here

[KiwiMurph]

Stevenson is having a poor game

Dropped high ball

Dropped intercept

Grubbered it into a Red when in good attaching position

For wet conditions the Reds are certainly playing a more adventurous style.

[ACT Crusader]

DMac a little lucky there

[taniwharugby]

Narawa channelling Masaga

[antipodean]

What's the fascination with lightweight backs trying to do the role of forwards?

[KiwiMurph]

Apologies if already mentioned but Reds haven't taken a 3 all season I understand

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean one of the tight 5 needs to have a word

And didn’t have the greatest body position when so close to the line either.

[antipodean]

There are some dumb exit plays on display in this weather.

[ACT Crusader]

Time to put the passes away boys, at least the ones that are more than 3 metres.
