I've never heard of a 'fine' miss. We had two chances to win the game and the goal kicker didn't take them. That's unacceptable at this level.

What is this obsession with JOC (James O'Connor) on the wing? There are many better wingers in Australian rugby than him. Just because he is not good enough to be the the Wallabies 10 doesn't mean he should automatically be given a spot elsewhere in the backline. For mine he is a capable utility player on the...

I don't know how many more hits to the noggin Barnes can take. Very similar situation to Elton Flatley.

I agree. I always thought if we were going to lose this game it would be because of our goal kicking. And that turned out to be the case. It was below par. I've never rated JOC (James O'Connor) in this department due to his inconsistency. And Kurtley, well he simply caved under pressure.

I would have thought Barnes' goal kicking was a major factor in his selection. He's more consistent then JOC (James O'Connor).

We need Barnes to come through with the goal kicking. Because that is most likely what will separate the two teams in the first test. We'll most likely need his territorial kicking from the back as well. Impressed with the selection of Lelo at 12. Let's hope it pays off.

Six team conferences are a must if the domestic product is going to attract significantly more money in the future.

You're right NZ make some cracking brews. Epic and Yeastie Boys are responsible for some of the best I've ever had.

How great was that jersey. Just unfortunate it will most likely never see the light of day again. Such a shame the Rebels couldn't come up with something as striking when they entered the competition, instead the competition got yet another mostly-blue generic kit.

An Indigenous team would have been pretty great as well. That is if we could find the players. Surely if we included premier grade there would be enough.

Keep this rubbish up in the second half and the Reds can kiss goodbye any chance of a home final. I won't be sticking around for it though, sleep is a much better option right now.

If this is how Quade responds to being left out of the Wallabies squad, I'm not even mad.

This guy is a problem.

Done correctly, which is difficult, the rolling maul is a great part of the game. I'm not sure why you see it as negative.

This.

I'm pretty sure JOC (James O'Connor) went to Bali. Yet again Australian rugby gets embarrassed in South Africa. It's happened to the Reds twice in the not so distant past so I'm not going to be too critical. But this kind of thing just has to stop. We have 5 professional rugby union teams that need to be more...

There will be a lot of pressure on Graham next year. If he can't take this young champion team to the finals then consider him gone by the following season.

He does this every game...

He was better but not good. Failed to involve those outside him. Genia's replacement isn't up to standard so it didn't help things in the second.

As Will Genia said the Reds didn't deserve it. They have had a result like that coming all season to be honest and have been made to look okay against mediocre opposition. The loss of Fainga'a and a couple of outside backs is not an excuse, we have more than enough pieces to win against one of...
