The Reds will beat the Chiefs on the weekend & be the first Aussi Super 15 team to beat a Kiwi team in so many years. BT will be given an Order of Australia & Kiwi sides will automatically go into decline. (Beat that for positivity;))

The player the Reds missed the most was 'Tongan Thor'. His role in anchoring the scrum and making it a monster pack cannot be under estimated. It is this ability that gives the Reds forwards dominance against their opponents. Without TT, they are just an ordinary pack as the Waratahs forwards...

I think Toua should be dropped, particularly if BT's mantra about defence, defence, defence is applied. In the last two games, Toua, in spite of his turbo speed, seems content to run along beside the try scorer, enjoying a grand stand view of the scorer's try. I really think he's worried about...

It will be interesting to see how well Liam Wright stands up to Hooper in the open flanker contest. He will definitely be fresher in that Hooper has played non-stop except for a bye.

Have you noticed that the Reds are getting very little media coverage to date. I think this might be intentional on Thorn's part. Do it by deeds, not words. Also the Brisbane Times is really the SMH, and is totally Waratah centric. Can't they afford a few dollars for a freelance rugby writer to...

Maybe the idea is that Higgers has to out-perform Timu in the No 8 position.

The media cites this game as one that the Brumbies must win, and that for them it's 'backs against the wall'. But the Reds also need this win big-time. The Rebels & Waratahs are both out in front of the Australian conference, with the Waratahs playing the Sunwolves, for which they can expect to...

If Japan want to do that, then why have a team in Super 15? That, to me, shows complete disrespect to the competition

I hope Poey doesn't come down with an injury in the near future. The wailing, nashing of teeth, moaning etc that would come from the commentary box would be enough to send a fan to bed, even with his missus there.

It's only Paul Cully writing for the SMH which is Sydney centric. I would'nt lose any sleep over it

But if BPA & Ready are superior Hookers, then surely they are the start/bench forwards. If Mafi is inferior (opposite to superior;) ), then he should be having a premier club game.

The good news is that the Reds are going to be close to a full strength side in their away game against the Brumbies after the bye. Its going to be one of those difficult selection problems that's good to have.

Anyone heard anything yet:D

I thought the Reds were showing more willingness at the end than the Stormers, which is surprising considering what they had to go through in just getting there. Possibly the Stormers plan was to smash us out of the game in the first half, but Reds tries wither side of the half upset the...

I think Higgers not coming on at the start and keeping Slipper as match captain is a good move. I'm a big fan of his play & experience, but this is sensible for a player who has only participated in 9 mins of the first game of the season. Also will be a nice boost when he does run on. By then...

Hi Brad:D

One of the best Reds games I was priviledged to watch. I was actually sitting in the corner & above the try line where Higgers scored. Was absolutely sensational. No wonder there were big crowds flocking to the ground. Thanks for the video BB.

Try to remember that he was not found guilty of any drug charge other than carrying just one of his wife's pills for which he didn't have a prescription (the charge), and he didn't report in at the required time for a fingerprint take. Talk about histronics in social media, we have it right here...

Thorn's saboteurs have cut off the Stormers water supply, while bringing in 2,000 litres on an Aussi bushfire plane. He is going to place bottles of water behind the Stormers goal line to distract them.

Is there a dark side to you we don't know about, Scrubber?:eek:
