Saders looking poor to start, silly offloads, losing gainline. Better pull their socks up

And scrum shite

[Steven Harris]

Normal service resumed ever so quickly..!

[Machpants]

Scrum still crap but nice try

[shark]

That won't hush any of the doubters Reado

[Machpants]

Jesus read

[Donsteppa]

Read must be timing his run for the All Blacks....

[gt12]

WTF, Read?

[shark]

I was a bit negative about Read after last year's NH tour. I'd hoped an extended break might help bring back the Read of old, or something close, for one last fling. He's had his moments this season so far but also some obvious woopsies and that dropped pill with the line open was a shocker.

Haviliiiiiiiiii!

[Steven Harris]

@shark they will be out in force, can see what Read was trying to do, change hands so he could fend, but to be honest he’s been very good in the first 15 minutes, he then chases a kick and lowers the winger with a superb tackle..it was funny though, and I think everybody could see the funny side of it

[shark]

Couple of nice easy ones early on for Richie.

[Damo]

It is Read's second game back from injury isn't it? I don't worry about a mistake like that.

Just a moment later he pulled off an excellent tackle on a speedy outside back.

[Yeetyaah]

Terrible attempt at a tackle by Meakes. But was there not a penalty there for sealing off in the last ruck?

He's very much a workmanlike 8 these days though. Those silky touches of old seem to be a thing of the past.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant spots the brainless commentator. Yes that was good but silly rubbish with mo'unga needs to stop floating passes. The rebels are reading them

Sealing off. Lol. That sort of PK is not really Jackson's style unless it is really blatant.

[Jailbreak7]

That was silly by Moody right in fron of the ref

Yes, though I thought the cleanout on him was worth a look by the TMO. Appeared to be a charge to the head. Not saying it wasn't partly deserved, but it did look a bit unnecessary to a guy prone on the ground.
