Reds edge Canberra clanger
26 May 2012
JON CARDINELLI reports on a fiercely contested yet error-marred Aussie derby that was eventually won 13-12 by the Reds.
The game produced one try, but the word ‘dour’ wouldn’t do it justice. The game never wanted for action but unfortunately never developed into a spectacle nor offered the high level of execution you’d expect from a top of the conference encounter.
The error count on both sides was astronomically high, and at times the ill-discipline also stunted momentum. The game ended on an error when Brumbies flyhalf Zack Holmes missed a penalty attempt. The Reds celebrated wildly as Holmes’s shot drifted wide, but coach Ewen McKenzie will be more relieved than anything else after what was an erratic performance.
It was a result they should have secured moments before. The Reds were camped on the Brumbies’ tryline, and when the hosts attempted to clear, Holmes’s kick was charged down. The clock looked to be on the Reds’ side as the teams packed down for a scrum, but incredibly the Reds failed to secure the ball and Brumbies scrumhalf Nic White succeeded in hacking it 60m upfield.
The pressure on both sides was evident, and their tactics were befitting a match of this stature. However, neither McKenzie, Jake White, nor Wallabies coach Robbie Deans for that matter, would have been pleased with the errors at the set pieces, the poor ball security at the breakdown and the lack of physicality at the collisions.
Referee Steve Walsh threatened to take charge of the breakdown early in the game, but then allowed more of a contest as the match wore on. Ball-poaching specialists like Liam Gill and Michael Hooper were influential, and with both teams allowed to forage on the ground nether attack obtained the necessary momentum to score a try.
The only try of the game was scored by Reds fullback Luke Morahan, and it was the product of individual brilliance rather than a concerted team effort.
The Brumbies employed their incessant kick-chase tactics early on, and Morahan soared to collect a high bomb before surging upfield. A neat chip over the disorganised Brumbies defensive line rolled into the in-goal area, and Morahan showed his speed to beat all Brumbies chasers for the touchdown.
The rest of the game played out in a frustrating manner, as both teams niggled at each other and attempted to stifle each other’s attack. The scrums were a mess, but the Brumbies will most lament the number of skew feeds at the lineout. It robbed them of a great attacking platform and was yet another reason why their backs struggled to get into the game.
The win allows the Reds to stay in the hunt for a play-off place, while the losing bonus point sees the Brumbies maintaining a five-point buffer between their closest rivals in the Aussie conference.

Quade starting, hopefully
Genia’s seemingly just switched on his best form after re-signing
26 May 2012, 11:23 am
this game should be a cracker
26 May 2012, 11:28 am
I tipped Brumbies in this one, they’ve got a good thing going and just got to love what they’ve done at this club after years of in house fighting. Watch the tight I’ve battle, Moore v Faingaa, but really looking forward to Gill v Hooper.
26 May 2012, 11:29 am

It’s just that people stay home when Cooper isn’t playing so he can’t break into their empty house.

@chch(chch)-10:
Why do NZ’ers hate Quade so much?
Is it because he “deserted” them or because he was mean to Richie?
26 May 2012, 11:44 am
wtf, he got told off by Walsh for getting too excited and shouting
26 May 2012, 11:44 am
Try of the season! Wow

C’mon- Do you really believe those blokes were random strangers? There was obviously much more to it than common burglary. One can pick up a laptop for less that Aus$50 these days, i doubt whether he woukd have risked his career for that, lol.
26 May 2012, 12:11 pm
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-49:
i think this game may end early when steve walsh starts to cry and takes his ball home

Just after he throws his whistle down with some force…

He is a good ref but he gives the players too much scope for” debate” imo.
26 May 2012, 12:22 pm
Sasuke
Its a stop start affair. Steve Walsh is dominating.
Just a moment of brilliance by morahan.
26 May 2012, 12:23 pm
I must say Steve Walsh is lying when he says I yelled out “please stay behind the ball”
this is a display of over refereeing and because of it the half back thought he could pick up the ball without being tackled by the other halfback. A situation created by Walsh
26 May 2012, 12:25 pm

@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-81:
No hopers?
I wouldnt say that.
A couple of teams that had no chance of doing well this year have proven otherwise.
Hurricanes is another team.
With a coach that really hasnt coached at this level at all.
Now Hammett has done well, i case better than what White has done, in my opinion of course

Whoooooooooo rugby man,it’s so freakin awesome man,I’m here in Trans Sky and I’m sort of like watching all these dudes in Australia man,playing rugby,these guys are like massive dudes man running around and entertaining me man. Glad it’s half time man ,cause I’ve got the munchies,gonna have some choco biscuits man and a nice cup of tea. I think those red guys are gonna win it man ,but those Brumbie dudes man they could win it too man. What the freak is a Brumbie man and why is there like a horse noise when they kick the ball off,that’s freaking me out man ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That referee man ,he’s like a father figure man,it’s like he’s telling off his kids man,I,m sure he’s a good father in real life man,maybe a little strict. Must be hard being one off those rev dudes,trying to watch,like 30 dudes running around and remembering all those freaky laws,man glad I’m not one of those dudes man.i love rugby man

But i am a kiwi, what do we know about coaches
26 May 2012, 12:54 pm
@chch(chch)-90:
Yep very weird ,maybe Walsh had to cover the heart with an arrow through it with the words mummy at the bottom of it
26 May 2012, 12:55 pm
both these teams are skilled @ winning turnovers…you go into contact without support, you’re dead.

26 May 2012, 12:57 pm

Well I actually think he is better than most on here think he is. You need to understand the pressure he was under whilst coaching the Boks to have any idea how well he really did…but hey, he only won a WC.
26 May 2012, 12:57 pm
take him off….
26 May 2012, 12:59 pm
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-101:
Correct, he won a RWC….with alot of help.
His win ratio was not that much better than PDVs.

26 May 2012, 13:07 pm
the Reds been all over this Fake’s wannabes, if not for Walshie giving Jakeys Fakey’s a leg up here would have been all over first 15 when Reds were on the rampage in Brumbies 22 and got blown out the red zone time and again.
Brumbies best 3 players on the park have been Steve Walsh, Quade Cooper and Luke Watson carbon copy clone Michael Hooper. If not for them 3 and Wallabie hooker Moore would have been a Reds whitewash by now… Only Walshie and Cooper keeping Brumbies in the game.

26 May 2012, 13:24 pm
@fitzella(fritz ellenbogen)-123: Sheez dude, a little credit to Jake? Even the blind can see that he has done some fine work with the youngsters. He has surrounded himself with some brilliant assistants granted – but to the Head Coach go the spoils.
26 May 2012, 13:25 pm
eina, brumbies miss the kick and lose the game.
the aussie conference looking poor in terms of points.
not a great game to watch and my friend steve walsh is just the same as he always was, an incompetetnt.
26 May 2012, 13:25 pm
What a bore fest !!! Super rugby is hond piel these days…
26 May 2012, 13:26 pm
White almost rode his luck one more time in absolute brown nosed appreciation to Walshie his ******** chum. If ever there was the ultimate lucky packet coach this Fake gotta take the absolute accolade for that. Almost pulled another lucky packet win out the hat.
Thank fck destiny didn’t capitulate this time in spite of Walshies best efforts., that miss kick was the perfect result to this f’ng setup farce.
26 May 2012, 13:27 pm

26 May 2012, 13:41 pm
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-154: its odd i agree but i think there will always be those who want to tear down successful people.
i dont think jake gives a toss tbho, much like smitty.
i am gonna sign up for barneys army.
26 May 2012, 13:43 pm
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-154:
No hate here man.
Some people seem a wee bit protective of Jake.
Its funny how a little comment gets 3 posters out on a crusade.
Kill the hater
26 May 2012, 13:44 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-156:
lol
Barneys army, where do i sign?
26 May 2012, 13:45 pm
Jake is a legend. Period.
26 May 2012, 13:45 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-155: well there is some ambiguity in that smiley isnt there mate?
it could be a smiley at how you are right about jakes ineptness?
or it could be a smiley because you are happy the brumbies are playing poorly?
or it could be a smug smiley, a sarkie smiley or an ironic smiley?
just what kind of smiley was that mate, because it followed a juvenile comment?
was it a teen-humour smiley?
26 May 2012, 13:46 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-157:
Funny that you think I was talking about you with that post.
26 May 2012, 13:47 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-160:
lol fair enough Ranger.
But i wanted the Brumbies to win, as you would have noticed earlier in the thread.
It would have done my Canes team a bit of a favour.
But oh well, i have to rely on my Canes team to win all the next games…… damn it
26 May 2012, 13:49 pm
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-161:
I am quite intelligent mate, give me credit.
Fact is the posts you replyed to were pointed at me sort of gave it away.
And this is a happy smiley face
26 May 2012, 13:50 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-157: crusade?
well shall i call reechee a cheating self satisfied smug fake and lets see how that goes down?
on silverfern maybe?
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-158: barneys army is john smits latest charity organisation, he does an amazing amount for charity. for instance he paid for chiliboys schooling at pretoria boys high.
but twerps like gwantie spread hatred day in and day out about him.
we are simply not prepared to let arse holes like gwanty and snoeky spread their filth unchallenged (dont worry mate, we know you were kidding i am just pulling your leg).
26 May 2012, 13:51 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-163:
Ok if you say so
26 May 2012, 13:56 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-164:

Never been to silverfern, thats the truth.
Quite happy here.
Too many Kiwis in Silverfern i hear.
26 May 2012, 13:58 pm

26 May 2012, 13:59 pm

But yeah that Red team won man,I knew that Red team was going to win man. That teams from Queensland in Australia man. Queensland man that must be a nice place,probably got lots of those kangaroos running around,I love kangaroos man,quite a freaky little creature,man those creatures can jump far man,wish I could jump as far as a kangaroo,what about those wallabies,they’re sort of like a kangaroo but I think they’re a bit smaller,I wonder how far they can jump man,or maybe they just hop. Oohhhh man so many questions. But yeah that was a close game……ohhhhhh YES there’s another game on …,sweet. The lions verse the force. Oh man the White team is going to win man they just scored a try ,they look like an awesome team man,man hat dudes got an awesome beard man,that number 8 dude,wish I had a beard,if he shaved it off I wonder if anyone would recognise him,man I reckon it would be hard cause dudes that have beards then shave them off look freaky for a while. I freaking love rugby man Oh man that dude bit that other dude man ha ha ha ha ha,he’s a big dude,could be hungry…well he is a lion

just please dont go postal like greentea ok?
that chap used to be normal, now he sounds like poppas girlfriend.

@Great White Shark(Predawn)-159:
Jakes Coaching ethos.
Rule number 1: kick for the corners and hope the opposition makes a mistake.
Rule number 2: see above.
Rule number 3: see rule #1
Rule number 4: There is no rule number 4, see rules 1 to 3.
Rule number 5: Have you fcckers got **** for brains, see rules 1-3.
Rule number 6: Rule number 1 is paramount.
26 May 2012, 14:07 pm
@cane(cane)-170: oh, i thought it was:
1. kick for the corners because we have the worlds best lineout and there is no way the kiwi midgets will be able to dominate us there.
but i could be wrong?
26 May 2012, 14:12 pm
@cane(cane)-170:
You seem to think there is a problem there. You also seemingly inadvertently described a move employed by many teams in world rugby…most notably Peter Grant of the Stormers and Pat Lambie of The Sharks. I fail to see the problem?
26 May 2012, 14:16 pm
3 from 9, (Tests vs the midget lineout)
would suggest,
indeed you could be wrong Dangerman.
26 May 2012, 14:20 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-172:
There is no problem Predawn.
Only a lack of imagination.
Brian Habana scored more tries against NZ, via intercepts, than any other way.
NZ players were the only ones who would give him the ball.

26 May 2012, 14:25 pm
Jake is the biggest fake that ever walked the planet.. a one season wonder kinda coach.. he already run out of ideas and it showing bad.. he gonna have to consult his Aussie side kicks like he did in 2007 because his well of rugby acumen already run dry.. Larkham and Gregan better come to the fore and start running the show just like Eddy did before Jake the fake runs into his next cul de sac ..
if not for Walshie Reds would have sewn that game up after 15 minutes.. Walshie wanted to make a contest out of it so blew the Reds off the ball every time they got close to scoring early on. .. and Walshie almost allowed the most despicable of wins when Reds camping in Brumbies 22 78 minutes in and he allows an illegitimate steal off the base of the scrum in front his nose then offers Brumbies a penalty within kick range.. at least Destiny had some semblance of a fair call result and conspired to send the goddamn illegitimate kick wide of the mark..
I never seen a more deplorable self centered schmuck than Jake the fake riding his self centered luck.
Strangest thing of all is when the fake snake alluded to his philosophy that fetchers were only required to fetch beers out the fridge and then his most influential player in his new found promising land of milk and honey is none other than an absolute Luke Watson carbon copy wannabe.. ain’t that the most hypocritical bullshit story going…
Plus White signed a 3-4 year deal with Brumbies and within 3 months he was plugging for the England job… same as when he was Bok coach and the England job came up in 2006 and into the hat went his name looking for a bonanza bale out… Then he signs up for the BIL’s job in 2009.., and the Aussie job.., and the Ireland job.., and the England job again after he already committed to Brumbies
Jake is one self centered outright snake.. and not a very good rugby coach without some Aussie brains propping him up.. yet a lucky packet fluke of a WC win against 7th ranked nobodies gives some snake sucking soothsayers the illusion that this snake is anything worthy of a blowup impression of credibility.
Only ones not knowing an outright snake when they see one is those that ain’t got close enough to get bitten by it.
26 May 2012, 14:25 pm
@cane(cane)-174:
Can’t fault the man…the Brumbies lost because they have no kickers. As with the Stormers they are on top and that’s what counts. If there is any team that lacks imagination then surely you need to have a dig at the Stormers attack…right?
26 May 2012, 14:27 pm
Boring repetitive propaganda. Scroll on by.

@cane(cane)-173:
the fake snakes real credibility reads as follows
vs NZ 30% wins .. 3 home wins against 5 starts, and one of those were by a lucky packet 1 point margin.. no away wins whatsoever to even dream about 0 from 5
vs France 20 % wins.. 1 home win .. 1 home loss.. 1 home draw .. 1 away loss
against Ireland 100% loss away.. only wins at home against depleted touring sides
against England 50%
ALL the fakes real wins were against nobody sides.. same like in the one sided WC where he only competed against Argy and England and nobody else. ..
his only reasonable returns were against Aussie who he had a 5 from 9 result but also lost by biggest losing margin ever 49 – 0

skop daai Datsun gaan nie homself was nie, better get to it!
But before you go, JW IRB coach of the year and WC coach…you can’t wish it away in a 100 years.
26 May 2012, 14:42 pm
@fitzella(fritz ellenbogen)-183:
49-0
I doubt Aussie ever beat Namibia by 49.
But it is the zero, in this particular case that is shocking.
49 …………………………..a point every 97.95918367 seconds.
26 May 2012, 14:43 pm
JW the old IRB farts favorite blow up doll.. wonder how come nobody else saw fit to give him a job even when it was Eddy doing all the coaching in 2007 .. he tried every which way to get a recognized national coaching job and nobody wanted to bite.. I guess they all knew a snake when they heard it rattle its tail IRB coaching credentials and all.. now poor Brumbies gotta be the ones to get bitten .. they soon a enough gonna figure him out for who or what he actually is… hope for their sakes it don’t get realized too late.

@cane(cane)-187:
And what a bitter pill for skop to swallow.
26 May 2012, 14:54 pm
fake pills aint bitter they just fake.. like marshmallow.. you know when its a fake its a fake no matter how many pretensions they try spin around the fact that it was a fake..
Argentina and England is NO goddamn accomplishment its like the biggest fake candy floss you ever tasted and you somehow still think its regurgitating in your mouth when its nothing but candy floss fake.
26 May 2012, 14:59 pm
Bitter pill, why else would you still be making such a big hooha about it 5 years later. It is there for all to see, WC Champions 2007!
27 May 2012, 07:07 am
