Agreed, another entertaining game. MMM energetic.

Anyone can throw the ball into the line out. It takes a special type of foolhardy to stand in the middle of the scrum.

The reds could hardly play from set-piece to set-piece. Their scrum and line out were always going to struggle against the lions, esp with the wallaby reds out. The wallabies hopefully won't have quite the same handicap. But. We may actually need to engineer a try or two. They're going to...

From Brett Harris in the Aus Translation: 1) Folau's management won't announce any League deal that might impact on his participation in the Lions tour. 2) Furthermore, Folau is extremely loyal to Robbie because he is the guy picking the teams. What a load of crap.

Yeah, saw it live. Made me chuckle ruefully. Phipps was annoying prat all game - at one stage he wandered up to S Fainga'a when he was about to throw to the line out and was listening for the call and started shouting sledging directly into his left ear. But that sort of carry-on is poor.

Which player? Like half of Suncorp I had my head in my hands as I wailed "Why, Quade? Why?" Wasn't it one of the rebels? So wasn't that the (second) charge down?

I don't care about the off loads, and I think he could tackle defend at 10 as well as any number of 10s. But those charge-downs are test-losing.

Even early this season he was beating the first tackler routinely. Seems to have completely lost confidence. At the game, it was 'Live by the Quade, die by the Quade'. The reds were awful largely thanks to Cooper for the first hour. He gifted the rebels tries from chargedowns, and there was...

You do seem to have ample motivation for starting a makeover thread. :) Its such a shame the bromance between QC (Quade Cooper) and RD has broken up. They made a great odd couple. The flawed FiFA playing kid from the wrong side of the tracks and the paddle boarding mystic toff. Has the makings of a great...

From where Cooper came from, getting in the way is significant improvement. When I first read this thread I was hoping Sully would start detailing hairstyles, assembling fashion collections and put together some simple man make-up tips. Are they coming soon? They would make the thread more...

Cooper defended at 10 overnight in the absence of Lance. Interesting to see if that continues and satisfies Deans.

that is so unfair on the cheetahs

Just for completeness. If the ref allows it and both teams want it enough, this is the end result. Massive arm wrestle. Apart from Ioane the red's backline looks pretty impotent in the face of an organised defence with good line speed. He is the best Aus winger going round in those...

The Lions tour is a home development tour before the Rugby Championship, isn't it? We certainly seem to beat the Lions more often than the ABs. We really should be using it to get our exciting rookies up to speed. :)

OK, time for some little chip kicks.

<conspiracy theory> Or O'Connor is en route to the Reds, and Lance knows it. </conspiracy theory>

I think everyone is underestimating the quality of the Crusaders side. Did they not just overcome a rebels side littered with players from the GAGR team of the week? The Brumbies are looking at a huge banana peel.

If JOC (James O'Connor) wants to play 10, he won't be likely to choose the reds.

That knock-on from Quade Cooper sorry Foley really cost.

Wow thats a real shame.
