Maybe the Hurricanes should go to McMurdo Station* to train for their preparation for Canberra. *Antarctica

A problem for the Reds is in their defense when NZ teams are in attack, they have their flyhalf grubber kick from around the 22 to 30 metre mark from the Reds try line. Our backs have moved up in defense, including our no 15 to mark their no 15. There is no one covering as a sweeper etc. I'd...

Stewart not running on is probably to do with rotation. He hasn't had much time off.

To Quote Wayne Smith in the Brisbane Times (read that as Sydney Morning Herald by any other name), he stated that against the Chiefs last weekend at Suncorp: " the Reds parked their adventurous game and went skywards". WHY? We have one of the best attacking teams in the competition, yet one of...

Refs & assistant refs (refs in other games) are meant to be professional, and get highly paid for approx 4 hours of work a week plus review meetings etc. Bearing that in mind, 3 sets of eyes on the field should be able to pick up front rowers blatently angling into the opposing hooker, amongst...

The Reds will be taking a close look at themselves after giving a master class on how to turn victory into defeat against the Hurricanes. It would seem that we need the return of some firepower particularly at blind side flanker (6). Hopefully there will be a return of some of the Reds injured...

Don't get your tits in a tangle over league penetrating Nudgee or other GPS schools. It wasn't long ago that the AFL had an arrangement where there was a GPS competition after their rugby season finished. I was surprised to hear it had stopped a few years later, and was told by a friend in the...

Its fortunate for the Reds that JOC (James O'Connor) has played the number of starts he has this season. I'm sure the Reds think tank have been aware of possible injury to him, especially as he is no spring chicken. Though Creighton hasn't had any game time at 10, I reckon he'll be up for the position, and he...

ASY (Angus Scott-Young)'s dad is a very successful business man and an ex wallaby. I'd imagine he's advising Angus to go overseas and enjoy the game. Then come back and help run the family business.

Particularly pleasurable game in that this is the first time in quite a while that the Brumbies got toweled by another Aussi side. And for the Brumbies to have won they would have needed 2 x converted tries plus another score. That, ladies & gentlemen, IMHO, is a toweling.

And not much more than uninformed whispers. Why would he want to go back to league when he can make a motza in Europe/Japan, after the world cup. This assuming he stays fit. I mean, if he turns out to be a croc, then I doubt if even NRL would pay much for his services.

My question is.... who of the two cc's has the decision making on the night, e.g. a Reds penalty 30 metres out from the Brumbies try line. Does Wright or McDermott make the decision as to kick for 3 points or go for the corner?

I have become frustrated with the lack of media coverage the Reds receive. The Australian had reasonable coverage when they had Wayne Smith, whom they released when Foxtel didn't retain their TV coverage of Australian rugby. Nowadays they barely write about anything rugby or only when they can...

Alcohol can do that to you.

I don't want to appear cynical but to my eyes Kalani appears out of his depth. At this stage of his experience at super rugby level, I feel he should be more competent in his role as a halfback. He's not there for his defense, but to set up the back line. And in that he gets a low score from me...

It looks as though the Reds are stacking the bench for a big onslaught in the last quarter. Just as long as the starting 15 can keep within a close score line before that.

It rained a lot :rolleyes:

Good thing the games not at Suncorp this weekend - the players would need snorkels & flippers, looking at the weather bureau forecast.

I see the Force are struggling with 10 games played for no wins;)

For the back row off the bench you could do a lot worse than Seru Uru. He was quite impressive in the trial games
