If you pack scrum well with 7 men then the red card is easy. But if they kak in the scrum then it's game over.GrahamWa wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 9:07 amAnother video to show the 20mind red card trial advocates in the SH.Monk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:29 am The Lions were simply superb.

So 20 min red card if your forwards are shite, no reduction for backs getting a red card cause they don't matter. Seems sensible.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:29 amIf you pack scrum well with 7 men then the red card is easy.

Of the three top teams Glasgow have by far the easiest run-in. Their SA away trip will be tough but the other games are all winnable. Game against the Bulls possibly decisive for home SF qualification. Home QF should be in the bag from where they are now.

In the old days with long tours the match on Loftus was acknowledge as an extra test. This match is like an extra Bok vs Ier test.

Typical Arendse try, but I don't know what McGrath thought he was doing .... and now he's going to pick up a card
He looked like he was trying to hit Arendse out the field. Great courage. Poor executionfishfoodie wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 8:14 pm Typical Arendse try, but I don't know what McGrath thought he was doing .... and now he's going to pick up a card

that was a bit smarter by Bulls.
Good defensive set, nice maul, & then the cross kick when you've already got the advantage
