Quadeless tonight and looking surprisingly tight. Try under the posts.

errlloyd

Anyone know if I can buy one of these aboriginal jerseys.

errlloyd

That is a howler.

danthefan

Basically an own goal there.

ScissorPaperRock

Oooohh shocker

Kiwi_knock

A shocker indeed. Sopoago drops it on the line, and Rocket Rod touches it down. 14-0.

Swiwi.

Sopoaga was great pre-injury, but poor last week, and from the posts above has donated 7 points to the Reds. Hayden Parker was fine in his absence, and shepherd's crook might do no harm.

If the Landers lose this, season is all but over.

ScissorPaperRock

Genia's kicks in the 22 paying off. Try number 3 for the Reds.

Kiwi_knock

What a game for the Reds. Shipperly goes over.

No, they are all up for auction at the end of the game signed by the player.

Kiwi_knock

21-0. No one expected this.

Journeyman_1

Probably need something here before half time I think.

sydthebeat

Game over unfortunately.



Highlanders aren't known this season for strong second half performances.

That's great, but also unfortunate. Nice jerseys.

Sorry, you can buy one online.

LuckyGent88

The comeback is on here.

Will post tomorrow on the crusaders match. Beer to be consumed now

Or maybe not!!

sydthebeat

sopoaga needs top come off straight away.. drops forward on his try line

sydthebeat

COST ANOTHER 7 POINTS !!!!!

Kiwi_knock

Reds hit back straight away. 28-7. Bonus point try.

sydthebeat

BUCKMAN!!!!!

nice one

sydthebeat

28 - 14

hayden parker on!!!

Journeyman_1

That was strange, highlanders TH went straight down after looking like he was under a lot of pressure

Kiwi_knock

Plenty of time left for the Highlanders to win this.

The decision to persist with LS after Parkers good form has been costly. He has also virtually ensured he will never make the ABs now either. Good player but you can't be gifting 14 points in crunch games.

Also a huge 'what if' Parker had started last week too... ah well....

sydthebeat

yes!! come on.. last 10 mins

ah crap TMO.... didnt think the defender would have inflenced play myself

sydthebeat

****e

Kiwi_knock

Right decision.

errlloyd

Ah ****e.

Kiwi_knock

Very loose play there by the Reds. Will be a cracking end to the game

Kiwi_knock

31-31

sydthebeat

holy crap

3 points is great effort! Still in with a shot. If LS was Japanese it would be hari kiri time though. Might watch this game tonight now.

sydthebeat

try reds....

Kiwi_knock

The Reds have scored.

stefan idiot jones

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSD

ScissorPaperRock

What a finish to the game. Try to the Reds. 15 phases from 55 meters out,


Highlanders very soft in defence

Kiwi_knock

Great game to watch.

LuckyGent88

God that was awesome to watch. Gotta love the way the highlanders play

Apologies. Premature ejaculation. In the literal sense of the word.

danthefan

Well that was entertaining.

stefan idiot jones

I was thinking that I had become a Jonah for the Reds. Delighted with the result. Now I'm gonna treat myself to an Indian and buy my ticket for the AUS v NZ match in October.

To quote Ice Cube 'Today was a good day'.

sydthebeat

looking for a big helping hand from the 'tahs tomorrow.... not expecting it though to be honest.
Cruden will probably start and dictate things.

the 6 day turn around between an away game against the waratahs to an away game versus the crusaders on the last day will be too tough for us. Hoping that either will be happy with their lot at that stage but thats asking a whole lot.... and the league is so tight one point could make a difference between a semi spot and a quarter.

all or not v the chiefs next friday night.

pickarooney

Hope the Blues aren't too up for it tomorrow and the Hurricanes take them to the cleaners.

Swiwi.

Reds v Landers

Farce by the Chiefs there. Bundee Aki goes to touch the ball down from a kick through and his 13 does him absolutely no favours by landing on top of him as he tries to do so.

But the referee awards the try anyway. Chiefs don't deserve to even be within 2 scores of the Waratahs, but it's game on.

matthew8

Second try for Aki, again falling down on a kick through. Conversion to lead now.

Swiwi.

Good morning matthew8. Dennis goes across, and the Chiefs are looking at another loss. Is that season over for the Chiefs?

matthew8

The Chiefs have looked like a team going through the motions for most of this match.
