Mate, if you can tell me how McAffrey was supporting his own weight on his feet with a serious face, then you have a great career in Real Estate or selling cars ahead of you. Thought he was lenient on both teams at ruck time, some of the stuff went on should've been penalised every day of the...

Reds got much better value from their bench; nearly won them the game. As much as a few have denied it, that Brumbies bench is just not good enough right now come the pointy end of the comp. Not too sure what they can do though to fix it in that time. Have to credit the Brumbies, some of...

Reds bottled that, they kicked away all possession in the last 10 minutes. Absolutely brain dead rugby when you have ascendance. Although, Reds will wonder what could have been with that shocking decision from Walsh letting McAffrey steal that last ball off the Reds, but if you are relying on...

Wow, that was illegal on so many levels from Mcaffrey, and Walsh just let it go.

Reds deserve to lose this, chasing the game but they kick away every bit of possession. Scrum difference is subs: Owen for the Reds for Holmes and JP Smith for Sio firstly, then Ruan just made it worse.

From my recollections, games in SA tended to get lower number of citings. I always thought that stuff that would normally get cited in Aus / NZ often was let go in SA, tip tackles aside (which they are very tough on).

She's always been very open about being a Queenslander. She's said before that she has often had an amused chuckle whenever accused of being biased against the Reds in her articles.

Lucas can kick, the other two can't though. Cooper and Taps will be looking to do most of the kicking for the Reds. If it gets into a kicking battle, the Brumbies will flatten the Reds in that department.

Because the ball is very different for a start - larger, rounder, harder to catch above your head in rugby, compared to an AFL ball. Secondly, in AFL if you drop it, it doesn't matter what way you drop it. Hands above your head and the ball could go anywhere. In rugby / league, players leap...

You didn't watch Folau in league, he was the standout player under the high ball in league. League and rugby you can compare high ball ability, but it's hard between rugby and AFL because the ball is completely different, and so is the style of catching. It's hard to grubber a ball well...

Going by the same stat provider I used for Horwill, Carter had: Blues: 7 runs for 5 metres, 8 tackles, 1 missed, 4 turnovers conceded, 0 penalties conceded, 5 lineouts, 1 stolen Rebels: 6 runs for 4 metres, 17 tackles, 1 missed, 1 turnover conceded, 2 penalties conceded, 2 lineoutes Stormers...

Having watched Douglas the last few weeks, I really fail to see how people are claiming he is in very good form. To me, he's no better than most of the other Aus locks out there, I wouldn't even say that Douglas has played particularly well over in SA. I don't see any Australian locks in...

One thing the Tahs will have to watch is opposition teams sweating on the inside pass from Beale. In the first few rounds that move opened up most of the teams they played, but you'd think that coaches would have their teams expecting it now.

Reportedly his wife wants a move back down south after having their first child. Don't see how he'd be worth the money he'd get in league to take a risk on him in union. They'd be better gunning for a guy like Fifita, whose market value has dropped remarkedly after apparently getting screwed...

Our backline was complete poo in the 2012 U20 World Cup, there's no two ways about it. I am another who doubts Godwin at flyhalf, would need to see how he goes with his organisational and game management skills as I haven't seen him show much of those as of yet. He certainly has all the...

With more or less hair. That's how I tell them apart. Well, Cordingley at least.

Don't worry, I am pretty sure that the Tahs management will find a way to include all season ticket holders who don't show up to games in the official crowd attendance figures.

2012 and 2013 were majorly disrupted to the Reds due to the injuries to Cooper and Genia. In 2012 it was particularly bad as the Reds had zero fit flyhalves at one stage. In 2012 the SA tour was particularly dire as they lost games in winning positions due to losing their flyhalves. In 2011...

The Reds made the finals in 2011 - 2013 by winning the horrible, ugly, tight clashes, some they probably shouldn't have won. It doesn't bode well that we are now throwing away games we should have won, the most egregarious example being the Lions. I hope that RG and his coaching staff have...

It's good to see Taps getting back into some good form. It's almost to the stage where I expect Robbie Deans will be coming out and saying that it is thanks to Quade.
