No. But It includes both brumbies wins in the quarter finals against hurricanes 2022 and 2023. Last few years our record against nz has been much better with 20 wins in the last 2.5 years.

Really hope Ryan Louwrens is eligible, playing out of his skin this year down at Melbourne. On form, definitely in the top 3 halfbacks in the country for me. Looks to have lived just over 10 years here but who knows. Would be handy to have him.

We defeated 9 nz teams in total in 2022, and in 2023 we defeated 6 nz teams in total. So far in 2024 we have 5 wins against nz teams.

Anyone got Division 5 Match predictions for round 1? couple of tasty matches first up.

Hahahaha

I was thinking that Hudson Creighton or Austin Anderson would come into the centres with Tua to cover for Ikitau injury, then Sapsford would push to the wing to cover Muirhead. Sapsford played the big games at the end of last year on the wing, QF and SF.

Big game on Saturday. Liking the changes to the forward pack. Schouppy at 1 should help the scrum, Nevilles high work-rate on both sides of the ball, and Jahrome Brown strong physical ball-carrier and hits the breakdown hard, which we badly need.

more teams having trials than that?

Brumbies have been so disappointing in the contact area. Get some mongrel in you, getting bullied here.

Reds>Broncos

The other thing I noticed was Mosese Tuipolotu. After struggling in the trials, he came on late in the second half when Crusaders had all the momentum. Made some seriously important tackles on the line, particularly down Sevu Reece's wing, he was absolutely outstanding in defence. Would love to...

How good was Hanigan!

I cant watch, too stressful.

The Brumbies do love beating Kiwis in Super Round.

Huge losses for the Canes both Kirifi and Flanders gone. Paisami needs to have a huge game if we are to take the W, Force last week got no go-forward in the mid-field, Paisami needs to spear-head the attack. Massive chance for the Reds, all the best team.

Kautai will probably start this week, did a very good job in the QF against the Canes last year at 3. Van Nek will be on bench probably.

Reds will win (hopefully).

Saw Toomaga-Allen played in the B team on the weekend, does this mean he is Qlds third best no.3 or was it just a hit-out after the knee injury? Think he would pretty handy to have at least on the bench this weekend behind Zane, considering how the Cane-train's scrum monstered the Force.

What are the chance of the boys getting up against the Chiefs you reckon?

did mention it....
