Super Rugby: Rebels - Force in Melbourne (15/02/2013)

[Leonormous Boozer]

James O'Connor not have a good deal to do with it?

That game started that too!!!!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Obviously the ref loves the Rebels!

The ref and most of the commentators are blind.

Goodwin looks a good player. JO'C's hair looks stupid.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, JOC has the worst hair I've ever seen on a rugby field.

Rebels absolutely dicked on for the first 30, getting in to the swing of things now.

 

[lynam1104]

Force better then expected but the Rebels look to be getting some ball with which they should be able to win with.

JOC has F*cking stupid hair

 

[TRF_Cymro]

This referee is a shambles, missing so many things and some of his decisions have been quite peculiar

 

[lynam1104]

Great try, Ref seems to be ignoring the scrum.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I like the scrum reffing (as a back ) - if the ball's available make them use it, don't reset it just for laughs.

Good try for the Rebels though - Pyle having a good game.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Very soft yellow...

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Baffling ...

Always had you down as a wrong un!

I dunno, part of me likes this approach to the scrum, but I don't like the fact it encourages scrums to simply collapse - not only is it illegal, but it's simply unsafe.

 

[HenryChinaski]

yellow for pushing?

Next time it'll be a red for tackling...

This referee has a mental whistle...

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Referee is having a shocker. Seems overwhelmed at times.

How was Phipps not awarded the penalty for his jackle?

 

[Peat]

What in God's name is up with O'Connor's hair?

 

[Seaton]

What in God's name is up with O'Connor's hair?

It is for charity as far as I am aware...

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

The only thing I can take from this match is that JOC doesn't feel he looks effeminate enough yet.

As if he needed a pony tail.

 

[madflyhalf]

It is for charity as far as I am aware...

He will cut his hair for charity.

It's the first charity for the World Sighted People Association.


How did Kyle Godwin play today?

Didn't see the match, I was paying my first fine in 9 years time of drive licence!

 

[lynam1104]

Godwin was ok missed some tough kicks but overall played well.

 

[nickdnz]

To be fair - I'd pay for James O'Connor to get rid of that haircut...

Alright match, referee had a pretty average performance.

I actually quite enjoyed this match, though I do set my expectations pretty low for Aussie derbies. I was pretty impressed with young Kyle Godwin, though I wonder whether he will be better off at 10 (as Christie was pretty average).
