Funny sort of game. Reds dominated the lineout, had the better of the scrums (although somehow couldn't buy a penalty), and were allowed to steal / disrupt a lot of ball (plenty of it questionable). They had more clean line breaks. They had more territory and more time in the opposition 22...

That's a bit of a bold call. Best 12, probably, but we've fielded some big strong guys at 13 for the Wallabies that I've rate up with Grey defensively, and who would be much more physically agressive offensively. If you're talking Waratahs, then yes, I'd can't think of one since rugby went...

Gee, I think that's harsh on Kaspowiscz missing that team.

There's a few key things that worry me about the current coaching staff of the Reds. 1. S&C - it's poor, and it's been covered their issues in this regard. 2. Defence - it's regressed woefully, particularly with the apparent loss of Link's aggressive defensive line to Graham's passive one 3...

As mentioned, people have taken their foot off Graham's throat because they realise that cronyism got him into this job, and cronyism will keep him there, at least for another year. It's fucked, we know it is. We are facing another shit year, and not only that, but Graham is destroying the...

BTW, anyone else notice how much Albert Anae has porked up? And I don't think he's on the only one, either.

The Reds lost their S&C coach on really short notice at the start of the year (or end of last year?) and I think their whole S&C regime this year has been a bit of a mess as a result. Not too sure what if they have resolved that issue for next year yet or not. Someone here surely knows...

92 - 3 is a bit of hyperbole. I expect at least a similar result to the game earlier in the season, if not a more comprehensive loss.

That'd be a big blow for Australian rugby and the Tahs, if true.

Does anyone seriously think that a big, ball carrying back rower will make a difference to this Reds team? Look at most of the games they played this year. No clear game plan, crazy conservative tactics that are almost Jake-ball lite, awful technique at ruck time, no attack pattern, poor...

Reds skills have gone down since last year, along with fitness, defensive structure, attacking structure, and tackling effectiveness. Oh, and ruck work too. So, I don't think that the extra time will be a positive thing. All pretty impressive stuff in just a year. Wonder how much RG was...

No facade, the Reds were utter crap last game, Waratahs have been great and won 6 on the trot. Form demands a flogging. Once upon a time it would've been a tight, close game no matter what, but now with Cheika I think that Tahs will play an up tempo game and blow the Reds away in both the...

Yeah, gotta agree. Reds were so poor for most of that game the Force should have put 40 or 50 on them. They had no ball and just gave away what they got. Blind Freddy knows the Force just flood and disrupt the breakdown, and the Reds came in unprepared. Reds will be looking to a final loss...

Yeah, gotta be a familiar feeling for Graham. Just goes to show that you be a shit coach, and it doesn't matter the quality of the team you inherit, you will drag it down to your level. Thanks, Graham.

Graham showing standing, looking unimpressed. We all are, but at you, Graham, at you. Reds scrum now dominant. Harris kicks the penalty to 10 out, clean lineout for once. Reds set a maul. Lucas throws the ball over the touch line. Story of the night. Force win in what was an average...

Gardner calls an incorrect entry. He's let 90% of them go all night too. Volvo poll shows that 7% of rugby watchers need glasses. Reds turn to fluff a lineout. More niggle. Gardner has zero control of this game.

Some nice footage showing the tackled players foot well outside of touch before releasing. AR asleep there. Tessman not straight, not even close, but they've been let go all night.

Will the Force be over the Brumbies now? Schatz regathers off the kickoff. Slipper goes right through. Then loses it. Hayward kicks it to the Reds tryline. Slipper looks hurt.

Charles with another shocker, Force clean it up this time. Force break through near the ruck, and Charles scores near the post. Game over. Gotta say, Force deserve the win, but not Charles the try, he's been shocking apart from that. If the Wallabies need to rely on Charles, based on that...

Force actually get an exit, nearly to the 40m line. That lineout surely wasn't straight. Reds go nowhere and kick it away.
