Walsh didn't have that bad a game. There was so much niggle in the first half that the players made it easy for him to blow his whistle. Vast majority of the calls were right.

Force are in real danger of losing to the bottom of the ladder Lions unless they step it up.

Holmes let the pressure get to him that should have been a dead cert 3 points to win the game. Reds really needed that win, not only for the obvious reason of catching the Brumbies, but also to stay in contention for the top 6. The other results today meant a loss would have left them needing...

Hooper has run away from support a couple of times and gotten isolated.

A lot of injuries today for Aus players.

Although the game really lacks quality it's still very entertaining because of how close it is and how much is riding on the result.

Great start for the Reds with that try.

Terrible performance by the Rebels not really anything good you can say about it apart from the first few minutes. Plenty of injuries to be assessed too. One good thing for the Reds is that the Rebels should really be up for it against the Brumbies in an attempt to make amends for today's...

Some really big hits causing a couple of injuries for the Rebs. A period of scrappy play is keeping the score down for the Rebels.

Beale off with a shoulder injury (according to commentary) but he didn't look too concerned sitting on the sidelines. Huxley off because he was having a nightmare. At the current scoring rate the Rebels could ship close to 80 points today. 2 terrible defences and although there's plenty of...

Good to see they finally agreed the cap so that franchises can get peopled signed up.

Rebels defence is a joke, Canes are breaking or scoring everytime they get the ball.

Some excellent skill there for the Canes try.

Nice try by Vuna to get the Rebels off the mark, also good offload by Beale just before he got smashed. But if I were a Canes fan I would have been shouting double movement.

Interesting view from John Smit on what is in store for England's SA born players:

Interesting article on the BBC website about how Leicester maintain a winning culture. Not sure that the whole approach is right for the Tahs but some things like no one being treated like a star and building from within would definitely help the Tahs. On a side note bolded part made me chuckle.

After Aus, Scotland play Fiji on the 16th and Samoa on the 23rd.

Earle's signing is a knock on effect of the talent drain from Wales to France and England this year. I wouldn't be surprised if van der Westhuizen is being signed as a possible option for Scotland in the future. Either way he's definitely a good signing for Edinburgh.

Scotland over the past few years have been the Tahs of international rugby. Lots of effort and some close defeats against more fancied teams and their ranking belies the talent they've unearthed in recent years. Part of their problem is poor organisation from the Scottish Union who have been...

For the All Blacks it's 3 tests against Ireland on the 9th, 16th & 23rd For SA it's England on the same 3 dates.
