So TPN, Rob Horne, Mitch Inman, David Pocock & AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are players who went off injured. Inman is definitely long term the rest we'll have to wait & see. Fingers crossed on TPN it's either two months or the season including RWC.

Well it would certainly put an end to coaches picking reckless re-offenders in their team.

Ben Daley - Yellow card Penalty at best & definitely not a blatant dirty shot on Pat Mccabe Rory Sidey - Red card Yellow card at best & should have been given to Gene Fairbanks for the head slam & not Sidey for a good hit. Danny Cipriani - Penalty Great hit on Umaga should have...

It's probably not a bad thing that the Aussie teams are playing badly now & getting injuries early as the Kiwis suffered the same last year & finished the season stronger with all their stars back on the paddock.

Great to get a win in the capital finally, not a great game by all means but a wins a win. Giteau had a good game in general play but his goal kicking under pressure has let him down again. Hopefully the Reds find their mojo during the week off as a I'm hoping for a good win at home...

Brumbies 3. Vaea 2. Macabe 1. Moore Reds 3.Higginbotham 2.Quade 1.Houston I'm surprised at the Genia votes I thought he was poor last night. Other than Quade's kicking I thought the whole backline was poor.

3.Burgess 2.Beale 1.TPN Horne did himself no favours with his flying arm tackles that never come off he needs to concentrate on making his tackles rather than going for the big hit every time.

Bowside, I picked Wallace-Harrison as I think Samo is still injured as for Gill I'd be happy to see him on the bench also. Toua's kicking is good & his defence seems pretty good on what I've seen. Rod davies is going to play but I'd still have Toua as a straight swap.

It's still early days no need for the Reds to hit panic stations. Our problem is in the forwards well more the backrow & securing quick ruck ball. We still made plenty of clean linebreaks against the Tahs only too stuff it up with a hail mary when what we needed was to take the tackle & recycle...

Tahs 3.TPN 2.Dennis 1.Beale Reds 3.Genia 2.Ioane 1. Holmes

I think the Force picked the perfect team to upset the Reds. 4 Wallaby backrowers 2 of the 4 are the best fetchers in the nation & in hot humid conditions where it's fair to say that having the ball was fools gold. This was a very good win for the Reds & as much as it was a terrible game for...

Maybe Liam Gill could come in as a bolter he's very quick & a noted fetcher. Link may have seen how well Robbie Coleman went & give Gill a shot this week.

I don't think we'll see many changes in either team I think Horwill start at 6 again & maybe Higginbotham will come in for Houston, not heard of any injuries for the Reds or Tahs. I expect a better showing from the Reds backline this week with a night game & cooler conditions & hopefully...

Yeah very Bryan Habana like I thought. If Genia had put more distance on that kick he would have scored a try also.

3. Coleman 2. Moore 1. Palmer

How strong is Dan Carter, When the Blues lifted late in the game he was mixing it up with the big boys in tight & started running the ball a lot more & was probably the only bloke to really knock Ranger over 1 on 1. Haven't really seen a lot of his running game the last couple seasons but...

Tough game for the Reds I don't know who thought it was a good idea to play a late afternoon game in Brisbane in the middle of February but it was way too hot to be playing a game of rugby. Good conditions for the Force team who were never really going to be throwing the ball around anyway...

3. Horwill (Reds best by a country mile) 2. S.Fainga'a 1. Ed Quirk Special mention: Rod davies would have got points if not for that punch on Sheehan, needs to show more class next time as he was our best back tonight in tough conditions.

I also would have taken Henderson over Kepu & Ioane is lucky to be there.

James Horwill would be my pick @ Blindside this week. He was in everything try saving tackle, hard yards, stealing balls out of rolling mauls he would be the only reds player worth a mention this week.
