I think they have mostly been at the ruck - and normally on defense. I can't say for certain, but I suspect that a fair percentage are within the reds own 40m zone, as that is the modish operandi for modern defensive patterns. I friggen hate it when the reds do it and hate it when other teams...

Predominantly inside the rectangular box thing on the green bit of the stadium.

I also think its great that the referee talks to the players about things, but here's where things get messy: If the referee warns a player for not binding, but never actually penalises the player for doing so, and subsequently allows said player to lecture him on the dark arts in a most heated...

Don't get me wrong, I think Harris is good and will never let the team down, but Taps is and always will be a 12. His best football has been at 12, and his best football will be at 12. Taps is not a 13, and not picking him at 12 based on his form at 13 is some kind of flawed logic. Harris is...

12. Tapuai 13. CFS 15. Toua to be given a couple more goes to see if he can come good.

I thought the reds played pretty well except for some of the execution issues. The reds were pretty dominant for most of the game and I felt the scoreline didn't really do justice to how the two teams played. Regarding the refereeing, I thought it was not that bad, and was certainly not the...

Gee, a tough game played with great vigour. Folau is truly gifted.

Under no circumstances should the TMO be allowed to use slow motion replays to review the timing on a tackle. They have a demonstrated and repeated inability to understand physics, so it is highly likely that they don't understand that if you slow the replay down enough you can make the most...

What did Ben Mac do?

I think it's much better to have very limited written rules and largely let individuals exercise their own judgement as to what they should do. It promotes a positive attitude of trust from management and responsibility for one's own actions. When they step outside what would be normally...

I feel the same way about both teams, so............ I hope it's a draw.

Reds by +20

@Redshappy isn't. :(

Holy crap. What a slaughter!!

@usarugger. Thanks for taking the time, I guess we see it pretty differently. :)

42?

I've watched that Genia box kick (it's been bugging me a bit) again this morning on the recording and the more I see it, the more I can't actually blame him for it at all. Seriously, the cheetahs players are massively offside (11, 7 and 6 with 8 possibly as well) with 11 the worst offender (and...

Sheesh, just watched a replay of the charge down of Will Genia's box kick - pretty odd choice , but he is looking straight at Cheetahs 11 who is standing next to the reds fullback, so I wonder if he was pushing for a penalty for offside that didn't come? Hard to fathom what else he thought...

Reflecting on the game whilst driving home, the game wasn't really that bad for the reds. The tries by the reds were pretty decent efforts, and the first two tries scored by the cheetahs were pretty opportunistic and the third off what appeared to be a pretty suspect pass (particularly given...
