Tupou gets the try after some Chiefs-esque pounding the line Reds driving maul of 5m lineout remains ordinary

Nonu splits the Reds backline like opening a pipi and strike straight back

And they do get their act together! Kerevi creates something from nothing and jock Campell puts huggers down the sideline

14-0 to the Blues after 19. Reds d is very passive at the moment. This is going to get ugly unless they get their act together

comms just said they went to school together too

Started just 3 Super rugby games since playing those tests against Ireland. Was there an issue with Thorn?

His form is irresistible at the moment and he's the best Super Rugby player in the country but never quite done it at test level yet. Wish these negotiations were happening in December. A great test season under his belt and RA would find the money

Kerevi not giving too much away on rugby.com.au Not sure who it's up to if not him though?

Sorry, I'm with you now. If they have to pay some or half of Izzy's payout. I don't really see the problem. They have revenue of $18m a year. If they have to take the razor to it it comes out of player payments ($5.85m/year) and community rugby ($4.5m/year). And it's a terrible result and...

As an aside, I wonder how many potential players and spectators have turned away from our sport because they are called "mungos"

Ponga was on a rugby league scholarship since he was 11. He played rugby for a couple of years at high school while on a Broncos scholarship and while playing rugby league for Easts in Brisbane. He signed a 4 year rugby league contract when he was 15. He never got away. He was never "ours"

So currently Fox buy a slot on Ten's channel, produce the content and collect the ad revenue and hope to drive more viewers to their own channels. Given the ratings, and that they want out of this, it's safe to assume they aren't achieving their objectives. Also explains why there was never much...

Thanks The_Wookie Any sign of Global Rapid Rugby numbers on Fox or SBS?

DP, can you let us know how McGahan went for the Blues back when he played there?

Anyone have the Malolua/McGahan combo for the second last game of the season in the Reds halves pool?

Gill's best chance of starting for the Wallabies and pressing his claims for future honours was the match against Scotland on 23 November 2013. Unfortunately the celebrations after the Irish match the week before turned out to be very very poor timing for him
