Match highlights: Reds v Western Force

🧵 4/4 ⏹️ #SuperRugbyPacific #REDvFOR #SRP2026

TMO "I'm going to show you the ball being knocked on at the back of the maul"

...

30 seconds pass

...

5 angles, all inconclusive. how does no-one see the NRL Bunker and not improve things. #REDvFOR

crazy result looming in Brisbane, Reds behind 12 to ***35***

nuts #REDvFOR

Great finish from Darby Lancaster despite landing awkwardly.

There’s pulling the strings, then there’s whatever Ben Donaldson is doing. #REDvFOR

How the hell the ref called that a try is beyond me? Even though the right call happened, just bizarre he awarded it #REDvFOR #superrugby

"…and he gets double-teamed and slammed on his back." 🤨

#REDvFOR commentator in full flow 🏉

As a Western Force fan, it was gratifying to hear how loudly the crowd cheered whenever the Reds won their own lineout.
#RedVFor

Seru Uru picked that up from the middle of that ruck. easily offside #REDvFOR

y'know what? after we actually see a tight shot of de Crespigny's pass? the motion of the hands is backwards

once again people, it's beyond necessary for picture-in-picture replays! I'm sitting 3-4m away from a 65" tv, if I can't see it properly no-one at the pub has any chance #REDvFOR

Great first half that has been excellent in spite of the conditions!

Reds get their nose ahead, Force hit back and edge ahead themselves. Great contest..

next one eh for slow arriving to the lineout eh? last one should've been a warning #REDvFOR

zero arms from Lukhan on Mac Grealy. just completely launched himself at him. no-one will bat an eyelid of course #REDvFOR

brilliant run after a lucky bounce and Lynagh puts a out the back of the hand offload into Thomas, and selflessly passes to Dre Pakeho for his first try in Super Rugby #REDvFOR

now THAT is how you pass off the deck backwards (is what everyone at Suncorp must be yelling 😁) #REDvFOR

jfc. is it a maul or not Ben? O'Keeffe shouts "ball is up", which is meaningless verbiage, then calls the Reds away when they treat it as if he's called maul

legit what has happened to reffing standards this season, it's down across the board. this isn't subjective stuff, it's technical #REDvFOR

way too easy for Heremaia Murray's score there. Uru and Lukhan do magnificent work but not great numbering up on D #REDvFOR

and on the replay it looks even worse.

atrocious miss. and uhh it's *both* Ben O'Keeffe and Brett Cronan somehow combining against a knock-on, unlike last week's Lolesio call. weird as #REDvFOR

Big blokes in SPACE!!!

lol ridiculously forward from Champion de Crespigny to Tom Robertson #REDvFOR
