Stiles' presser was completely different from RG too, sounds pretty pragmatic and open.

I watched a fair bit of the Auckland 9s, and plenty of games had no razzle dazzle to speak of and many were tight low scoring affairs. There were some fantastic highlights from some games though, that Ponga still looks like a future star. That the article was written before the first day was...

Most of the Reds side did vs the Crusaders, that was a disgrace.

Worst performance of the comes from the home side. I am worried now, their game plan and defensive pattern ran counter to everything we saw as a success earlier. Does anyone in their coaching staff have half a brain? :( That was a performance straight out of the RG top drawer.

Reds woeful :(

Gees the Reds run a poor defensive pattern for this game. They bunch in and leave a two or three man overlap all the time. There's too much room to drift so it's a massive fail. Digby in early, missing a heap of pace but still too good for some poor Reds defence.

Unsurprising, that's an NRL reporter. Although the crowd isn't huge, they took some effort to only show the empty part in the sunlight in their photos. Balanced journalism as always from News Corp.

NSW tie it up on full time 10 all.

Brilliant try from Qld! Nice attack and interchange out wide. 10 - 0

Qld in off the kick off, and don't they love it. Huge run from the Qld 5 from a nice offload from the 1.

0 - 0 at half time, Qld with all the ball but NSW do look better when they get it.

Brumbies win 10 - 0, ref not bothering to play a penalty advantage to Toulon and he let the game end. Women's game is willing, 0 - 0 after 5 mins. Go the good girls in Red!

Brumbies start the second half with a try, simple backline move left a yawning gap. Poor Walker has dropped a lot of ball this game. Alexander has been the best on field, he is loving it out there. Gorumaru still a waste of a spot in this type of game.

The Brand ruled out of today's action with an ankle twinge.

Brumbies in after the hooter thanks to Alexander chasing a kick very hard. Toulon the better side, but Brumbies go in 5 - 0 ahead at the half. Toulon will wonder what they did wrong. Good to see the Brumbies keep scrambling in defence and not give up.

Naiyo is another weird choice, he seems overweight still and unsuited to this style of game. There's been some some liking play from Toulon, who are doing everything but scoring a try. Don't think Gorumaru will ever live up to the reputation he somehow got.

Force lost them for themselves, it's a game they shouldn't have lost with 5 to go.

Meehan gets one back after a strong Mafi run and offload. Man buns going crazy in Melbourne town.

Cornelson in for the Wild Knights after they again catch the Rebels sweeper out of position then take an intercept off a Rebels counter that wasn't really on. 17 - 5 with 7 to go and another upset is on the cards.

Oh no no no no Rebels. How'd you blow that? Deserved a try for Weekes' effort through the middle. Replay shows Heenan knocked the ball loose in a desperate tackle on the try line.
