1. Rugby in summer is bullshit

2. Rugby in summer in QLD is utter bullshit

Some big contacts but shitty hands so far

[antipodean]

Tate gifts the Tahs seven points.

[Duluth]

Mark W sets up a Tahs try. Multiple players offside at the previous kick though

Tahs leading 10-7

[Tim]

Bell carrying well.

[Duluth]

Fuck that was awful. No pressure on that pass

[Tim]

Was it worth calling that try back?

[Tim]

That's a very fine margin of error.

[Duluth]

Ouch

Jorgensen’s timing a split second off. YC and PT

..and the ref has no choice once it’s a penalty

Would be better if he could say no YC and not get marked down in his referees assessment

[KiwiMurph]

That feels too harsh. Was close enough it should have been play on in my opinion

[antipodean]

Surely there's got to be a YC coming for the amount of times the Tahs are offside?

[antipodean]

Good maul by the Reds, after the Tahs looked to have set up well to negate it.

Getting close.

Be nice if Doleman applied the rest of the Laws. And to both sides.

[NTA]

Smith having a huge game for the Reds from the second row

[antipodean]

Nice bit of skill from the Reds #8 at the scrum with a flick between his legs to Tate who scores in the corner.
