Great game McCabe, looked so dangerous on the outside break and found his support well. Mogg looks majestic on attack, untouchable at times, but gees he has some huge defensive issues. Fantastic scrambling defence there by the Brumbies, showed loads of commitment. (Guess you need it if your...

Cheetahs didn't score 4 tries. Was nonetheless a bizarre effort from the Reds. Just all over the shop. Whatever it was, it definitely wasn't good. They need to take the bonus point win and improve. A lot. At least the Cheetahs got no bonus points, I guess. Their season is looking close...

You'll find the jersey will be too big for a few months as it's a size 0, but it's worth it! I got a photo of me in my Reds polo and my 2 month old boy in his much too big Reds jersey before the Brumbies game. Sneaky wife put it on Facebook, didn't realise there's lots of closet Reds...

They did, at least about 8 years ago. They used to have a phone line connection, supposedly required just for "on demand" services. The set top box monitored what you watched during the day, then every night would dial back on a toll-free hidden number and report on what you watched during...

Technically, we still live in the Inner West. At the wife's mother's (sorry, parent's) group meeting in Concord, she claims she is the only non-driver of an SUV. When she takes the baby to the Concord Library baby rhyme time, she claims the area is full of parked SUVs from the other mothers...

I would say, almost definitely not. Not even close. edit: to clarify, I suspect Fagan has taken a pay cut to move to Sydney. Pure speculation on my part, but it is known that he did it for love (a certain person who works for Fox Sports and is the daughter of an ex-Wallaby coach), not for his...

Smith also dropped. Looks more like rotation / planned changes to me.

Yeah, agree @USARugger. R. Ebersohn was a huge loss to that Cheetahs backline. Venter has more defensive issues than Ebersohn I think, Venter looks a bit larger and a stronger runner, but that's about it really when you think what Venter has over Ebersohn. Who knows what Cheetahs team will...

McCabe to the bench, think that's a good move. Wonder if Cronje or Tatekawa were seriously considered to start.

No Rhule? Strauss and the loosies are the threat from their pack, when they hunt together they can blow people off the ball. Weaker backline than last year, particularly with an out of form Goosen.

Didn't think that Vanderglas was an openside?

I actually don't like the "vacant" expressionless images of rugby players used to advertise each team as I don't find the images engaging. It can also come off as a bit arrogant. If you go look at the Waratahs or Reds homepages, those images are just in your face. Don't. Like. Then look...

You'd expect McDuling to get a show ahead of Ed O'Donoghue off the bench at some stage, unless injuries occur first. I would expect that McDuling is a head of Enever in the pecking order at this stage, but that is my opinion. Would like to see old stager O'Donoghue phased out as the season...

How is To'omua travelling? Going to be a real challenge for the depleted Brumbies; I assume they are playing in Wellington at the Cake Tin?

Tragic news for Pocock. Best thing would be to come back ready for next year's season, although I guess he could, in theory, be back on the field in six months. No way he could get up to test level in that amount of time, though. It's going to be a challenge for the Brumbies, who don't have...

Hopefully we'll be seeing Browning getting a few opportunities mid-year for that reason.

Schatz seems to play below his weight, he needs to up his ante. It's good to see Schatz over the ball at ruck time, but would like to see him do some more damage with the ball in hand or tackling.

I don't really fish, so please don't take this the wrong way, but is there a reason pants aren't worn when either fishing, or showing the results thereof?

At the ground, it looked like the Reds mixed up where they jumped on defence. Can recall Reds stealing or disrupting a few at 2. I was actually wondering why they didn't just throw up Simmons or Quirk at 2 all night on defence, actually.
