It's not a personal attack per se, just a response to your inference that Queenslanders lack quality education. I thought it was ironic that a dig at education was expressed in such an uneducated manner. Not playing the man at all, old son, just responding to to one of your many cracks at...

Thought the smiley thingamajig and bolding might have spelled out my jibe, but I won't go all pedant on you. Agree with you by the way, my body refuses to listen to at least half the instructions from my brain.

McDuling certainly plays taller than 195 cm in the lineout LG, he won his fair share of ball. I was watching him closely last night, to see whether my initial impression had merit, and he didn't disappoint. Big engine, as you say. He worked very hard in both attack and defence. As Godfrey said...

When is Link naming his team, or has that already been done?

WJ - If you are going to make a quip about Queenslanders and quality education, then for God's sake, please present as a person who might have enjoyed the benefit of formal education! Other than that, as you were.

What was the score?

Agree with White. He looked impressive for the 20's. Also Kerr-Barlow, that individual try was a beauty. Isn't he an NT boy Ruggo? Does anyone know how Julian Savea went on the weekend? He's being touted as the next Jonah Lomu over in NZ.

Very disappointed for the boys that they lost the game. They had their chances but impatience and inexperience probably cost them in the end, as it is a very young side. A few observations follow: I talked McDuling up after the game against Fiji A and nothing has changed my mind. The guy is a...

I often think that Saia's fitness isn't up to S 15 level, which is surprising given how fit the Reds are as a unit, and that maybe the reason that he is sometimes ineffective in contact and a bit second hand after it. However, there is no doubting his committment when he does get stuck into it...

I think Robbie Coleman of the Brumbies and Lima Sopoanga of the Highlanders have to be added to the list of new faces to watch in 2011, after Rd 1.

Anyone seen a team list for the Reds A v. Samoa clash at Ballymore this evening? Have heard that Lance is replacing an injured Murphy at 10. but don't know much beyond that.

Was last week dedicated to the Qld Floods and did some of the gate at each game go to fundraising? Should do something like that for Christchurch. Looks really bad and feel for all affected.

Haven't read all the post so excuse any repetition. I like the way Deans has not bowed to reputation, made some big calls, and unearthed some talent along the way. It's arguable that guys like Slipper and O'Connor might not be in the position they currently enjoy without Deans making the calls...

You'd have to think Crook was injured. A couple of familiar names from Brisbane clubland, in Jesse Mogg and James Turner. Will be interested to see how they go. I remember Kesomi Lolotongo from the 2007 schoolboys. He was in the starting front row with Slipper and Fitzpatrick from memory, and...

Anyone know what the weather will be like in Sydney? That could have a bearing on tactics and team composition. The game will be won in the forwards but hopefully we get to see some of the razzle dazzle that both backlines are capable of. Go the Reds!!

Just how many brains do you have Bullrush? :-)

Tahs to definitely start as favorites on the basis of last week. Reds scrum will have to really improve, which is why I think Holmes to start and Horwill to lock should be considered. The backs clash will be a cracker with some great match ups.

This could go close.

Stanley at 12 and Freuan at 13 for me.

"sport" fair enough, but I always knew sport as being extra-curricular. I've seen a similar discussion before and most agree that as far as rugby is concerned, speed over 40 meters is the real measure on a footy field. Davies looks to have that in the bag easily, but I would love to see other...
