Exciting and tense finish. I enjoyed it and everyone around me at the ground did as well, even with a bit of frustration here and there sometimes. A good game from QC (Quade Cooper), and a relly good game by Genia. Bulls never really looked like scoring a try until that one at the end. Reds looked a lot...

Hoping both teams have a good one tonight.

Why's that?

South Africa beat the Lions 2-1 and New Zealand beat the Lions 3-0 which would indicate that they are more difficult opposition than the Lions. Therefore it could be argued that we should not blood any new players against those two instead as that would be throwing the new guys to the wolves...

Yeah Taps kicked well I thought, and gained some good yardage too. I couldn't tell (I was down the other end), was it Lance with the boomer in the second half that gained us a solid 50m? Whoever it was, it was a cracker.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Do whatever you want, but I still think you chose to take it the wrong way.

Haha, I think you may be a feeling a little bit precious this morning. If you believe the highlanders are still in with a shot for this season after the start they have had, then you are indeed an optimist. As you rightly stated before a team will always lose one or two games, but having lost...

How was it childish?

Yeah, I would have thought the Bulls and Highlanders were the the easier games out that list. I still think it will be a tough run and the guys will need to be focused a lot more.

You've been happy with how they have been playing then? Given Ewen's comments this week, I am not saying anything different to him at all. If you read back through my posts in previous games, I have been saying the same thing for weeks - they are not travelling well and there is something not...

The coming games are: Bulls (home) <-- coming off a big loss and will be looking to make amends Highlanders (away) <-- can just about kiss their season good bye, so will now be playing without any pressure Bye (home) <-- the way we have been playing this could be a tough one for us and the...

QC (Quade Cooper) should not be in the wallaby squad, let alone the run on team, based on his form form last year and this - he really needs to lift his game immeasurably. To be fair and only pick on super rugby form from this year (which was the opening premise of this thread) I would be hard pressed...

Also, I wish people would stop referring to the Reds as the entertainers and being able to score heaps of points etc etc, because that has not been true now for 25 games. They have changed the way they play and it is not an attacking style of game at all. It is a tackle the other game with...

A really good result for the cheetahs, specially getting in some consistency and belief in themselves to string a couple of wins together on the road - not an easy thing for any team. Israel had a strong game, I thought.

Force by 6

Less than settled preparation for the guys. :(

The stamping incident is just bizarre. For a guy who never barges in to (legally or illegally) clear out a ruck and chooses instead to repeatedly appeal to the referee with an outstretched hand it certainly is an odd move to do something that would injure another person that was lying prone...

Reds really need to put a solid game together now. Keep playing like they have been and they will have a poor run when they start playing the saffa teams (the current leaders in the Muttonbird Cup) and the NZ guys. The force can win, just like any of the other super rugby franchises.
