Tahs win their lineout and play the phases
Tahs are awarded with a scrum penalty and clear it for touch over their 22
O'Connor gives a cross kick and Petaia looks to gather but knocks it on in his jump. Tahs have the scrum on their five metre line
Reds manage to turn over possession at scrum time and send it wide to where Daugunu runs an awesome line on the touchline before being tackled out. He passes before being tackled though and Reds continue to push
The last time the Reds enjoyed a longer winning run at home was an 11-match stretch from March 2010 to May 2011.
McDermott clears the ball with a box kick and the Reds retain possession but they knock it on and it's a scrum to the Tahs just shy of their ten metre line
O'Connor clears the ball for touch just shy of his ten metre line and his teammates win the lineout
Tahs are awarded with a penalty on the hosts' 22 and Harrison clears for the corner but their lineout proves futile as Reds are awarded with a penalty for an obstruction
Harrison gets the second half underway
After a quick first try from the Tahs, it was the Reds who decided to completely take hold of the match. The Tahs were left wondering what they were doing wrong as they went 27 points down in the first 40 minutes. Tahs will have to overcome their inexperience and look at their game plan going into the second half if they want to remain competitive. The Reds will be happy to continue with their current game plan but will also need to iron out bumps to avoid handing any possible opportunities over to their visitors!
