OK, I'll have a go, though I may get props and locks on the wrong side of the scrum: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Horwill 5. Pyle 6. Higginbottom 7. Pocock 8. Palu 9. Genia 10. Barnes 11. Ioane 12. O'Çonnor 13. McCabe/Horne 14. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 15. Beale. Bench - Polota-Nau, Kepu, Simmons...

Must have been "benefit of the doubt"because there looked to be a reasonable amount of doubt. Looked like a try in real time from where I was sitting, but the replays on the big screen were less conclusive.

Hallelujah! Call it lucky, scrappy, unimaginative or whatever you will, a win is a win and what a relief for Reds supporters. The tactics employed by Link, to keep it out of the Red Zone and defend like buggery, were brave given the number of points scored against the team in recent weeks, and...

Strategic use of the bench might play a major part in tonights game, Hooper for the Brumbies, and Holmes, Samo and Quirk for the Reds definitely have the ability to impact the game.

I suspect not but he is exactly what is required at the Rebels, at this stage of their development. He has consistently been one of their most valuable players with his experience and calm.

The "New Lynagh" would do very nicely!

Quite fitting that the Reds quest for a turnaround is being played on the Easter weekend. This is a massive game and I am sure it will be played with a lot of intensity. Plenty has been said about the need for the Reds forwards to step up, but just as equally, Genia has to show some leadership...

Agree with all the praise for the scond rowers Pyle and Jones. They were sensational last night and could be headed for bigger things if they keep playing like that.

Great pick up by the Force and Holmes'chance for redemption.

Does look very handy doesn't he, but we have to remember this is schoolboy footy footage. Having said that though it looks like a bloody high standard and a very good team that he played for. I wish people would go easy on Murphy. Young bloke trying to break through, gets his break and has to...

Blues are probably the team that have disappointed their supporters the most this season. Some of their handling errors were diabolical. Really don't know what has happened to a team I thought had a real chance of topping the NZ conference and going all the way? Well done to the Rebels though...

Most Southerners won't have heard of Stolberg but he is a pretty big and tall unit who has played a bit of Prems in Brisbane. Reckon he would have to be a chance for a lock spot. I also think Beauchamp could be a chance giventhat he played Brisbane Prems last year and the Rebels thought he was...

It would seem that as the Coach and Management team your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Seven backs are injured (including Hynes), with four of them being 5/8 options. Murphy has been tried in three games and unfortunately for him he has not adequately delivered. I don't think Link...

Great composure by Matt Lucas to convert from the sideline on the bell. What an excellent result for such a young playing group.

OK what were the positives? As someone said there are probably only three or four players who can hold their heads high. Shipperley has been the Reds best player YTD and he was again one of the best on ground last night. Despite the Team not travelling well he is playing with confidence and...

Really don't know what the coaching staff does to turn the team around. Not a lot of changes can be made to the forward pack and that seems to be where the real issues are. Starting with Holmes and Samo maybe, and AWH hopefully back from injury. As for the backs....

Bloody hell, that was very painful to watch as a Reds supporter! Agree with others, the problem is with the pack, five or six wallabies yet monstered two weeks in a row. Plenty of work to do before Good Friday that's for sure. Well done Force.

Just read an article on Rapana which also quotes him. Seems like a level headed and purposeful guy, who went to NZ on his own volition last year to get some áccelerated rugby learning'. At 25 he still hasn't given up on the dream to play in the Pro's. Good for him, hope he goes well tonight, and...

Easy there Cowboy.....
