    Super Rugby Rnd 10: Reds v Brumbies 5 Sept

    Great 23 for the Reds. Probably the strongest they've put out this year? Sans the lost locks. Great match ups all over the park. Really looking forward to this one. Hopefully both teams bring their A game attack wise following the North v South game.

    Super Rugby AU Round 10 - Rebels v Force, 3.00pm AEST Sat 5th September

    The last game for a few of the Force guys aparently. Couple of stalwarts won't be back next season, I am hoping they get sent off with a win to close out their careers. The force will bring it, I am going for an upset here! On Kahui I think he has been immense. His defense alone has kept the...

    Super Rugby Au Round 9 - Rebels vs Waratahs, 7:15pm Sat 29th August

    I looked back at it today and it was a bad call(or more accurately no call). Clear obstruction by Meakes on Walton. Walton appears to be looking at To'omua who runs a line behind Meakes, Walton is then taken out by the line Meakes runs. I cannot believe the tmo, ref or ARs didn't call for it to...

    Super Rugby Au Round 9 - Rebels vs Waratahs, 7:15pm Sat 29th August

    I thought one of he or Kata weren't oz eligible. Must be Kata then. Or I am completely wrong.

    Super Rugby Au Round 9 - Rebels vs Waratahs, 7:15pm Sat 29th August

    Also I fully expected to see people jumping up and down about those last 2 Rebels tries which were not tries(IMO). One clear obstruction and the second where the player was in touch. Those decisions could easily force the Tahs out of finals contention. I believe if either of those were not...

    Super Rugby Au Round 9 - Rebels vs Waratahs, 7:15pm Sat 29th August

    Good game of footy! I thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Very happy to see Hooper, Dempsey, Hanigan, Walton and Ramm performing very well. Particularly happy to see Dempsey performing back at the level he was before that injury a couple years back... i think he has everything we need in an...

    Super Rugby Au Round 7 - Reds v Rebels @ Suncorp Stadium, 7:15pm Sat 15 Aug

    Hate to say it but I cannot see my beloved Reds winning this one. I think the Rebels will win the battle of the piggies and have plenty of firepower in the backs to keep that momentum going. LH is a real issue now for Qld, unfortunate for 3 props to all be down at the same time. Great...

    Super Rugby AU R3 - Reds v Force

    By far the most enjoyable game of Super Rugby AU so far. Lots of skill and passion. A long way to go to match with our brothers across the ditch however improving week to week. I am loving how well drilled the Force are. Certainly for the majority of the match they seem to have more confidence...

    Super Rugby AU R3 - Reds v Force

    Agree with much of the above I'd like to see 2. Mafi 11. CFS 14. Daugunu 15. Campbell Hegerty to the bench. I like hegerty but he isn't bringing anything like what Campbell was earlier in the year. I also think we overplay Hegerty's kicking. Also I do not know why we arent using Stewart for...

    Super Rugby AU Round 2 - Reds vs Rebels

    Don't know which way this game is going to go. Reds struggled against a very green backline who are not known for their defense. That rebels backline is very solid defensively and I don't see us making many meters through them. Although if our offload game clicks this week like it did pre covid...

    2020 Super Rugby Round 1 (REDUX): Brumbies v Rebels

    Looking at those teams it is hard to go past the Brumbies. Think the Rebels forward pack will have a hard time on Saturday.

    Reds 2020

    Agreed. He is a physical specimen. I wonder if he is the kind of guy who if Thorne got his hands on could turn him into something more.

    2020 Super Rugby Round 1 (REDUX): Reds v Waratahs

    We are talking about Tuaina Taii Tualima... who most certainly isn't a THP. Edit that is the message he replied to. I assume he got confused with the Tahs THP.

    2020 Super Rugby Round 1 (REDUX): Reds v Waratahs

    183 as a Lock? That is small. I would assume at almost 120kgs perhaps it is 193? EDIT! I did the non lazy thing and looked it up. 193cm and 99kgs

    2020 Super Rugby Round 1 (REDUX): Reds v Waratahs

    Future Wallaby Backrow right there. Excited to see how they play as a unit.

    2020 Super Rugby Round 1 (REDUX): Reds v Waratahs

    Excited to watch Bell, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Swinton, Harris, Harrison, Donaldson and Moeroa. Never heard of Walton(unless it's Rory!). Reds could have a training run through that 12/13 channel with Newsome and a debutant(?)

    Reds 2020

    They should never have taken him to a world cup we were never going to get near winning. Petaia would be in a much better physical position now if he had taken those 5/6 months to do proper rehab and build his body/power

    Reds 2020

    My understanding is that the kicking coach has come in and changed the way all the kickers have been kicking. That is the reason why the Reds goal kickers have been particularly poor this season. Players getting used to a new style, the kicking coach not being fulltime and able to correct...

    Reds 2020

    I was more thinking as a 15 not a 10. Particularly now that Beale is gone. I would have rated Lucas as 3rd or 4th pick 10 at the Reds and not 1st pick 15 so I think it would be good for his development to move somewhere he is getting plenty of game time. Would be a nice combo with Harrison 10...

    Reds 2020

    I cannot understand Rodda's decision. Starting player, good salary, improving team and building his game well under the coaching setup. It stinks like sour grapes to me, I hope I am wrong on that. Lucas I can understand. Good player but with Gordon emerging I think he will struggle to make the...
