Cooper puts down another one, he's had a night he'd love to forget. Not on his own there.

Good scrum from the Brumbies, then the Reds lose a lineout. Horrible stuff.

That was one of the messiest mauls I've ever seen, how the Reds didn't score (or get an advantage) I will never know.

Game is still loads of dire. However, the Brumbies are playing so much better to the weather in this second half, Reds came out like a rabble. Can't see the Reds even getting a point at the moment.

Sneaky hand from Tom Banks looks to have knocked that out, and the Brumbies get another try. Not sure if Banks played at that on purpose, so I think that ruling is right?

Interesting call there from the ref, replay looked like Smith was driven back and the maul collapsed from its own speed, it was moving quickly to fully control in the wet. Not often you see a ref go straight to his pocket and penalty try from the first maul. This match, meanwhile, continues...

Man, being decided on an idiot jumping into a tackle. In my day the guy jumping would've been penalised, not the tackler.

Watching some highlights, the Lions players looked a good two or so metres offside for that first try off the intercept.

Fantastic game. Was cheering for the ABs, but hoped the Lions did peg one back there at the end like they did, they were / are a better side than a 30 - 8 loss. They would have won by over 30 on us, I reckon.

I fail to see the logic there, perhaps you can explain it? Slowly, for the slow people like me. Let's bear in mind the following: - Horne was arguably the worst performed of the Australian 13, with the lowest tackle completion rate (yes, lower than Kerevi, Horne indeed tackled worse than...

I can't. He refused to pick the guy who was, by a country mile, the best 6 for a green 20 year old with potential who looks so out of his depth it's worrying. The reason apparently is that the best 6 is heading overseas. Meanwhile, he chooses a 13 who was, at best, 4th best outside centre...

Yeah, you'd expect Hocking to come in as a fourth lock. Sad to see Simmons go, but that's a fact of professional sporting life. It's rare to get a 1 club man these days. Another fact of professional sporting life is sacking under performing coaches, a fact the Reds seem to be missing for the...

Stiles brings in the kids to replace the ancient and ageing warriors nearing retirement: - Tuttle (21) replaces Frisby (24) - Rodda (20) replaces Simmons (28) - Tupou (21) replaces Talakai (25) - Ready (23) replaces Moore (34) Of all of the ageing players replaced, the only one over 30 was...

Agree, MOC also would have been a disaster. Anyway, Stiles needs to go sadly. http://www.theroar.com.au/2017/05/27/stiles-slams-fellow-reds-after-force-loss/ You can't tell me there's not coaching issues in there..... Awesome, back to blaming players and coaches taking no...

Game plan stops at Stiles. Kicking the ball away all season when between 40m - 60m out from the opposition try line is obviously a game plan. The only reason we beat the Rebels is we mysteriously stopped kicking with 25 minutes to go and managed to run in some tries. Vs the Force we are...

That's it, I'm done with the Reds. The whole team is a joke. On paper they should have put 30 points on a weakened Force team on a short turn around from a 50 point hiding. The whole coaching staff needs to go. Stiles, for all his pragmatism, can't put together a sensible game plan. I am...

Dumb yellow, no reason to do it, and easily could have not bothered. Clan in again, this game is well past over in the pouring rain, 31 - 6.

Richie Arnold may get a 10 minute rest for a late no arms hit on Banks. Stupid.

Osbourne scores a 60m try and is rewarded by a sub at 45m. Pissing down now with the score at 24 - 6. Force have a long way to come back, and losing balls from attacking mauls will not help.
