Tongan Thor on for Holmes. :(

Toua grubbers ahead, Frisby knocks on, followed by the Brumbies.

Chris Kuridrani has been good for the Reds this half (not a lot of them have been!).

Brumbies get a half arm from a scrum, and bomb and chase, Reds take, then instantly turn over. T Kuridrani kicks ahead into the Reds 22, and Frisby kicks it straight out. Sloppy play from the Reds to go from being on attack to right on defence. Holmes down in back play now.

Poor clearance from Toua, and the Reds have a lineout 25m out. Brumbies ruin the maul. But gees, that Brumbies player went around the side to do lock that ball up, right in front of the ref. Think it was Wells.

Scrum, Reds get a shove on but it wheels on the Reds THP side and the Brumbies get a tight head. Then Dargaville with a weak carry, and another scrum.

10 - 3 to the Reds now, Lilo kicked the penalty. Still time to stop the game now! Slipper was down before receiving attention before, as well.

Lots more turn overs. Dargaville makes a break off a real mess of a few balls knocked back from the Brumbies. Tui steals due to no ruck protection, then the Reds dither too long, get counter rucked, and the Brumbies turn it over. Then the Brumbies kick it too deep and it goes in goal...

Horrible horrible box kick from Frisby, right into the Brumbies player. Lots of errors, still. Kerevi's kick lands a few cms in, just stopping another error. McIntyre down again.

Can we all agree to stop this game now? Thanks.

There was a hint of a shearing off from the Reds in that maul.

Reds in off a 5m lineout and maul.

Couple injury breaks so far. Poor Hyne went off after 4 minutes with an ankle injury. McIntyre's turn next, also an ankle. Taefu took the penalty but McIntyre is playing on. Tui down now, but he is also playing on.

Sloppy game though so far, plenty of errors from both teams. Plenty of attempts at playing rugby unlike a lot of these derbies, just no execution.

Reds up 3 - 0 after 10. Can we stop the game now?

Nice! Thanks!!! Been after that for sooooo long (try a decade or so).

2007. I didn't think it had improved much in Japan from some of his carrying on towards his players, but maybe he just needs cultures who can accept his style of man management. But going by what he is getting from the English team, it must have surely improved.

On the bright side, that was a very entertaining test match. Good game to watch. Just painful if you're Australian (or want the English to lose, which is probably pretty much anyone not from England).

Yeah, there's little doubt Cheika was out coached by Jones this series. Really annoying. Admittedly, Jones is an excellent tactician, but woeful woeful man manager (I'll never forget or forgive what he did to the Reds in that regard, and he has no remorse).

I recall Horne having a carry and making a few tackles (and missing one or two as well). Definitely being harsh on Horne. That said, we do need more from a winger than what Horne gives. He's not anywhere near a test level winger.
