Rob Simmons with the pass of the night. Passing to the right as well

Mason entering struggling territory here. Tui straight over the top of him for that try, couple of dud kicks and handling errors.

Kurtley reminds everyone why he's not an international 12 in that little Sunwolves try scoring sequence

MM about 30cm away from putting Folau away there

Love it when a planned lineout move comes together!

Saw an interview somewhere(?) in which the player/coach was saying that OC is not as difficult a place to defend as it once was because teams are now playing with the openside winger up with the two others back in the yo-yo. It's now the winger who has the harder decisions, and even then it's...

What is the selectors brief? Are they picking squads, 23s or XVs?

The best coaches change their tactics depending on who they are playing too, which also means choosing different players. So are the selectors choosing the tactics too? Players have roles not positions is a nice way of putting it, that's taken me 4 paragraphs to get too so far.

Incidentally, that's one of the issues with having selectors seperate to the coaching staff. Do you set down tactics and pick the team, or do you pick the team and work out your tactics?

Would love if people expanded a bit more as to who they see playing what roll in the team. These days (across all pro teams) numbers on the back don't mean nearly as much as they used to. Ie assuming it's a 1-3-31, who is in the pod and who is on the edge. And who is leading the defensive line?

It's interesting what the stats say. I reckon the Brumbies linout has spluttered pretty badly at least twice - against the Rebels in game 1 and against the Reds last week. To be fair to Arnold he was off the field after the first one or two losses on the weekend. What are the stats around...

A guick Google suggests:- That would have him training in July/Aug and return to competition in early September. Hard to see it. Maybe an injury replacement part way through?

I'd add in after the last few weeks Rodda is nearly first picked

You might be right, but what makes good refs good is knowing when not to blow the whistle more than knowing when to. See also my comments about a "captains call" in rugby in the refs thread

Will you be booing or cheering QC (Quade Cooper) Jamie?

Offer Thorn 50mins of game time with 14 players, or a three week suspension and he'd take the weeks off 10 times out of 10. ASY (Angus Scott-Young) is a very lucky boy

56k for Reds v Brumbies. Sunday arvo games don't rate

13,566 brave souls cooked at Suncorp for Reds v Brumbies
