I really hope the reds build on some momentum from last weeks game (and that the Wallabies camp is not a significant factor for any of the franchises - Robbie Deans has a bad habit of turning good players bad anytime he gets his hands on them). If Ant is fit, would he be more likely to start...

The combination of Quirk, Shatz and Gill was top notch. Together they did a mountain of work and were the foundation of the win I reckon.

Which of those are better than the ones currently playing for the tahs? If you believe that these are the tahs (edit: that should read ex nswru) best players, then why are they not being picked for the wallabies? I did say, the best players from the tahs should be spread around to develop the...

I agree. The tahs have heaps of players, whilst the reds are having to import theirs. Ergo, it is logical that the nswru should be spreading their best players around to the other developing franchises.

Seriously, I believe the Tahs have plenty of talent that would be better served in other franchises for the good of Aussie rugby. I wasn't referring specifically to the backs though. It won't happen that way, I know. I constantly reminded about how strong they are. Reminded about how awesome...

It's a beautiful day at moment, hope it stays like this. Weather reports still saying rain for the evening though.

Do you believe that the reds have greater depth than the tahs do? They have wallabies that cannot even make the starting team when "fit".

Reds by 10.

http://www.espnscrum.com/super-rugby-2013/rugby/match/170145.html The stats (apart from those relating to scoring) don't actually look that bad... So something must have been working ok. Maybe it was just the Brumbies night and they wanted it more. Edit - Quirk played pretty solidly up in...

I don't think they are the same thing.

Who the fuck said that???? Are you guys reading this in articles somewhere?

I wasn't writing them off, as such. Just making an observation that there has been a fairly obvious (to me) shift in the manner in which they are playing.

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/brumbies-rise-has-just-begun-as-stagnant-reds-find-to-their-cost-20130217-2el7b.html This article sort of sums up what I was trying to allude to earlier - the style of play that took them to the championship is no longer there. I don't think the...

Sat 23. Chance of rain 90%. Possible thunderstorm. http://www.weatherzone.com.au/qld/brisbane/brisbane Friggen brisbane weather - hope it is wrong! I was hoping for beach in the morning, late lunch and snooze on the grassy slope down at southbank followed by a leisurely stroll over to the game.

I don't believe that Genia's and Horwill's return are the answer. They are coming back from major injuries and will take a looooong time to get back to anywhere remotely close to their best. Look at Quade Cooper - major injury and he is obviously still coming to terms with how his body is...

Based on last season, the trial up at sunny coast and the brumbies game, it is going to be a very long season for the reds, I fear.

I think most people would say the Brumbies defence was really good and were the cause of the reds not even looking like scoring. Having said that though, the missed tackle count from the Brumbies seems to be higher - they just didn't miss the ones that counted.

Brumbies too good, the only team that looked like scoring tries.

Things going the brumbies way in this game so far, I doubt the reds can turn it around actually if the wind is as big as they say.

On my screen it makes it look like one of those high viz vests. Maybe that is an accurate reflection of our current working force at the moment (if Brisbane and Perth airports are anything to go by these days with all the FIFO guys). The stripes just need to have that funky silver reflective...
