One of the ranga-est of the bunch, but @Dismal Pillock can the selection committee provide guidance on the ‘all time’ criterion please

Agree fully. Possible issues with tactical nous aside, the work he’s done regarding the Reds’ culture is outstanding. I don’t want to be the person making excuses, but I reckon the Reds would’ve walked away with at least two trans-Tasman wins if we had a full-strength (or close to it) side, and...

Valid - maybe he can travel with the XV as injury cover, or drop in for a charity match. I thought Anae was looking a bit sloppy in person the other week, but we now know that he definitely is not a hooker.

Moore at hooker

Personnel-related or the program/management?

Obviously the Reds see a future with Lynagh, but as @Roberts Rugby said, a signing like Gordon would allow a stopgap between the present (O'Connor) and the future (Lynagh, or even Creighton).

You know it's bad when even the Kiwi commentary questions it

Vuni makes it count when it matters in contact. Immense strength

Yeah parachuting Anae in at hooker isn't seeming like the best call right now

Hell of a lot more intent and purpose from the Reds so far this week

Nah that was his second - first was off the kick return from the kickoff, and it was clean.

Good lord wtf happened to Zander's face

Refreshing to hear a bit of positive commentary around the state of Australian rugby from the NZ commentators - let's see how long into the coverage it lasts
