Yes, has been for some time, since Rory Arnold left to be exact. Along with Neville, the two of them usually make other mauls a bit of a mess.

Adam, if you read my comments pre-game, I thought the Reds would win this game because of the loss of firepower in the Brumbies front row. That is pretty much as it panned out, only the margin was 2 where I'd expected something like 8 - 10. It was a cracking game. My feelings of...

Reg, there would be one of two reasons you've nominated Darcy in the second row. Either a not so subtle shot at me personally, or that you were genuinely impressed with his involvement. There were a few other good efforts by locks on the weekend, notably LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Neville. If you were indeed...

PC, I hear what you say, but they are two completely different scenarios. On the one hand, we have the evidence that at the 65th minute (? when the front row was replaced) the Brumbies were clearly on top, having scored four tries to one at that time. After that, they were starved of the ball...

Balance? Drewprint, do you dispute the Brumbies were on top until they lost their front row? After the replacements came on, the Reds scored 24 points and still only hit the front with a minute or so on the clock. I have no doubt at all the Brumbies would have held on had they been able to field...

Despite not having Slipper and Ala'alatoa, the Brumbies were dominant all game until both Sio and Ross left the field with injuries. Nice how the past Reds No 9 kept the Reds in the game when the Brumbies were clearly dominant. At full strength, Brumbies would have won by three tries at...

Like the look of that Brumbies "A" side.

One way still though isn't it Barbs?

Weather well and truly in Reds favour. Mid 20s and very high humidity today. Tomorrow forecast to be 29 degrees. If the humidity hangs around the Reds players will think they're back in Paradise.

It could be a ploy FF (Folau Fainga'a), but I'm more inclined to think that he copped a glancing blow only and has recovered from a very mild form of concussion. AAA's arm was more an air swing than a massive right cross.

You put up the good fight D, but you have a formidable opponent in BH. BH's opposition to any discussion on the topic makes me think he has a role in the NSWRU. He couldn't do a better job scuppering a discussion if he was the CEO. If anything were to be tried at any time, then it would be...

I could live with that.

Tex, better really start to calm down a bit. Pone has been selected in the Rebels side against the Force. Some might agree that you might have a point. but apparently you have hitched your wagon to a poor example. Having said that, I don't personally think we have an issue at all. Not just...

Can't recall if it was before or after the maul passed the tryline. If the latter, presumably still ok?

KO, is the ball carrier really being shielded by those who join behind him? Doesn't look a lot different to me from a two or three man hit up where the front man has the ball and he has extra player(s) bound behind him to give the shove in contact. Admittedly, in a maul there are players also in...

People seem to be conflating relocating the Tahs to Parramatta with the suggestion of a new, stand alone franchise in the West.

Still believe Reds are favourites, but noticed some i teresting stats on the SuperXV site. The Brumbies have won the most turnovers (16) in the comp so far, and Hansen and Banks have the most run metres. Not a coincidence at all that they haven't yet had their bye. ;)

missing three Wallabies - Slipper, Ala'alatoa and Samu, as well as the backup hooker. Will likely be too much to overcome.

So, you're saying the ref will decide the result.
