That’s sounds a pretty decent option. Not sure it’ll be enough, but a fair crack. The one year old on, one year out option might be a bit of a head ache for the Reds, but better than losing him altogether.

Like most (all) I thought it was a cracking game - and not just the finish, but throughout the game. I often don’t get a chance to watch the NZ games, so glad I had a relatively quiet weekend and was able to plonk myself on the couch. One observation though - there was a lot of dropped...

Impressed with the use of the word queruious though

I’m not planning on visiting the Pticairn’s anytime soon. I figure I can throw some hand grenades.

Dismal - here’s something for you

I’ve said plenty of times I’m excited by the current group of 10s, but why would Horan do this? This is absurd. Why place this sort of pressure on the kid. Let’s let him play for a while without this. If he keeps it up he’ll get an opportunity soon enough.

Week 2 1. Bell 2. Poreki 3. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) 4. Swain 5. Rodda 6. Valetini 7. McReight 8. Wilson 9. Gordon 10. Pasitoa 11. Mataele 12. Simone 13. Godwin 14. Turner 15. Banks Honestly a couple of spots I struggled to think of someone worthy. I thought of naming Perese on a wing and either Harris or Anstee...

I think it makes sense to blood Pasitoa with Prior inside him and the likes of Kahui & Godwin outside. If that means holding Leleiwasa-Fines back a bit then I see that as reasonable. He is still getting some good minutes and is having an impact. Definitely a good long term prospect though.

Fines-Leleiwasa on the other hand looks better and better

If To'omua was supposed to be out their to improve the game management he’s failed dismally. Actually he’s failed whatever he is out there for. 10 might be his favourite spot but he is a shadow of his former self. Hodge has had another shocker. Rebels really deserve a lot more from their two...

Yeah - fair point. The ref really made a mess of that last lineout.

On a lighter note, I notice at one stage when the Brumby pack won a scrum penalty a group of the backs ran in to congratulate them. Andy Muirhead patted them all on the head then also patted Tom Wright on the head who had also run in. I couldn’t help but think - bloody wingers, always taking...

Are you still going in about that?

Haha - I was going to comment that should have been enough for McKellar to pick him in the squad and get him a test or three.

Experience definitely won us the game IMO. Reds may not be playing at their best, but you can’t be at your best all year. It wasn’t long ago we were the ones losing these sort of games whenever we got in this position. I’m glad we’ve become a team that has the confidence and composure to find...

That’s a shame mate. Sorry to hear - both for the game and for you.

You think that is crowing????

I guess with 30% possession I think it is a bit tough for him to really control the game. I do wish he had another 10-15 on his kicks and his kick out on the full was a bit of a blow at the time but generally I thought he did pretty well with the opportunities he had.

I guess my problem with what Cheika did was instead of focusing on a cracking contest by both teams and giving credit where it was due his first contribution after the game was negative. Does anyone thing if he looked he couldn’t have found illegal clean outs by the Tahs. It’s tabloid...

Really?? I thought he was the reason we won the game. Ill have to watch again.
