Fardy is back. We've missed that guy. No bench lock either so the tall timber will get a work out. I assume Fardy will come off for Auelea, kimlin to lock, mowen to 6.

Still butt hurt over Brisbane?

Hope Fardy is back for the brums. He's not the greatest player but is somewhat talismanic to the team. Wouldn't be surprised if that giant saffa lock is used to counter Timani.

Agree, but playing the semi/final in south africa does give the home side a pretty big advantage. First things first though, make the six.

So the brums remain top of the Aussie conference for another week. Reds equal top on draws.

You can still make the finals without topping the conference you know. Reds could even overtake the brumbies without the brumbies having to lose, just not in one week. I always support any Aussie team except when they're playing the brums.

I hope no brumbies get yellow cards this match, that would be a confidence boost. Haven't watched much of the saders this year, but they have experience, class and history, even if not in the best form. The brums drew with the kings at home, so despite their run they can hiccup and the saders...

Just because the ref didn't penalise, doesn't mean there wern't offenses. Last week the brums did what they had to do to get as many points as they could, this week the reds played similarly. If Joubert started calling all the ruck stuff there would have been cards this week, heaps just got let...

I wonder if the reds will be called cynical after this performance. Hopefully certain elements will realise that sometimes you need to do things you're not proud of to win/draw games. No disrespect to either team though, it was a good game and enjoyable to watch.

There were a few instances both ways, some kind of obvious stuff missed, some borderline stuff enforced. I thought the ref was good overall, different interpretation at the breakdown than last game for the reds.

Good game, hopefully the reds fans now know how the brumbies' felt last week.

Last roll for the blues, 25m out lineout.

Reds up by 1 point, 1 minute to go, reds scrum feed on their 22m line

reds turn it, gay kick back from lucas sees the blues with another lineout inside the 22. Reds scrum, blues knock on.

Blues turn the game with a lineout 5m from the try line. Can the reds hold on?

kicks it (just) but that is all you need to do

ooh, kicking on an angle, missed the last one, this is harder

let's see what the reds decide

and stay past half time
