Braveheart, I'm not sure Berry 'cost' the Blues. The Blues were opened up by some pretty good attack by the Lions. On the try, in my view it was Greeff that made the biggest error. Sure Berry made a poor judgement in his read of the incident, but he did the right thing by going upstairs. It...

Isn't it more a case that the combination of Beale/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is really starting to come on but need more time to gel. I'm a firm believer that if you get your 12/13 combination solidified and working well, then it has a significant influence on the rest of the backline.

The scrums are a lottery (borderline farcical) no matter who the ref is. I seriously believe that from what we have seen so far in this years S15 that teams do not know when to push or hold given the timing of the put ins are in the hands of the ref. there was not one game on the weekend that...

What's with the name calling? That's poor form and unwarranted. A 'lowlife' for making judgment errors on a rugby field???? Some perspective is in needed tranquil.

I agree. The Reds have got the Wyatt Crockett, Al Baxter syndrome going. Beau Robinson in particular has a massive penalty target on his back. He needs to call Richie or Matt Hodgson or George Smith to borrow the cloak.....

Interesting sequence. Does it matter that the Brumbies knocked on twice? Does that allow play on? Some inexperience letting the brumbies down in the last 3-4 minutes.

Ben Daley gets away with murder on that scrum.... :)

Not a bad first half by both teams. Good reffing also

Pocock all over it. Bit lateral from the Reds off the set piece

Not sure about that option Genia. Kick it to the corner and get the lineout

Excellent kick by Cooper

Cooper no doubt, but what have those other 3 shown at 10? Have they even played at 10 at test level?

3. Hooper 2. Fardy 1. Moore Cooper and Folau very close behind

I will never get tired of watching this. The play of Aaron Smith during this passage was unreal. His coverage of the field and speed of delivery was superb. So many 'stories' in that final passage - the Franks brothers, Coles hands, the Cruden double take, the Irish fan that yells out on the...

Nah HJ, Savea has really matured as a test player this year and is well ahead of Piutau, who is 'building nicely'. Savea's decision making and support play and most surprising, his passing game have been excellent. He really has stepped up.

When Higgers, Pocock and Palu come back from the sick bay, OZ will essentially 8 players to fit into 4 spots Pocock Hooper Gill Fardy Mowen Higgers Palu McCalman Gill and McCalman on paper at least look to be the first names out of the race. Mowen is now the captain so demands a starting spot...

I would think there would be both a guaranteed and incentive based elements to Link's contract. What percentage of the overall contract value is tied up with these is probably only known by the parties. Similar to Government contracts/tenders, there is usually milestone payments for...

Gee I'm a little surprised that To'omua appears to be missing from most of the long term midfield combinations. He has offered something in the 12 jersey in terms of an allround game that the Wallabies haven't seen since Giteau was at his peak at inside centre. He takes on the line, spots the...

Geez if holding the Aussie coat of arms on the jersey during the anthem gets up your goat, I'd say Mowen isn't the one with a "problem"..... Haven't read through the whole thread, but my observations of the test match were three key points: - Genia was shocking. Not just poor or the old "got...

THere's one more final tomorrow HJ, the Lochore Cup and South Canterbury is playing Buller.
