Deans confirmed that the 6 will be players he wants to see more of, or needs to play more. Players picked in the first 25 will be the preferred players, though (getting through the rubbish Deans speak). Kearns mentioned the removal of Barnes' rubbish short kicks. Deans is happy with that...

Deans interview on now. Asked about Mogg or Folau. Played a straight bat. Add mention of Barnes as a fullback. Deans on George Smith, looks like Smith would get selected. Says that it may not be too bad is a good sign. Smith's availability was resolved yesterday, apparently. Smith can...

Horne had a very good game before he went off in my book. 12 will be between Lealiifano, Barnes and Horne at this stage. I'd still have Cooper at 10, but Deans will go JOC (James O'Connor) or Barnes I think. If McCabe gets selected then it's a travesty. McCabe has had none of the impact of those other three...

Saia has been better for the Reds starting, but I would be tempted towards Hanson off the bench for the Wallabies as he'd provide more impact. Starting, I would select S. Finger most of the time, though. Better thrower, better defender, does more work at ruck time. Hanson is a better ball...

Mogg was also too slow to get across on Barnes' try; he should've had Barnes covered earlier.

The ball was left to right as well, not the natural side to pass to for most guys. Was a great ball from Foley. We could still get 3 Aussie sides in the top 6 this year yet.

George Smith thinks his knee isn't too bad, thought it was his ACL but it appears not.

Reds need to beat the Cheetahs, and Tahs stay 7th.

Replay; was Foley to Betham. Great ball in front of the man.

Definitely, and in good attacking positions too - they kicked away a few overlaps. Having playing with huge boots is no advantage if you're kicking it away in the other team's half.

Not sure what positions Barnes and Foley were playing in the second half, they were interchanging at 10. Worked really well, along with Lucas' better service. Not sure I would select Timani or Dennis in the Wallabies squad on those performances. Thought Paddy Ryan was also done over at scrum...

I am 100% certain it was Foley, rewatch the try. Barnes has headgear, and was caught up in the previous ruck. Wait for the after match discussion; it will be shown.

Fantastic game from Barnes, his rubbish short aimless kicks were gone, and he through some nice passes and created his own try. Horne and Barnes played their way into the Wallaby squad, although I would maybe wait a week for Barnes to get another match under his belt. Strong showing from...

Last scrum of the game. Tahs scrum holds, and they kick to touch. Tahs win! 28 - 22.

Brumbies with the ball, 30 out and they get a penalty. 3m to go, so no time to kick for goal from touch. To'omua kicks to the corner, and Brumbies lineout 10m out. Lineout with 1.5 minutes to go. Brumbies win and maul, straight through the Tahs, woeful defence from the Tahs. Maul goes down...

It was Foley, not Barnes. Barnes can't throw wide balls that quick through the air. Knock on from Barnes off the kick off.

Nope; it's been given. Weak defence from the Brumbies, strong run and fend from Betham. Coleman and Prior (on for White) were the main culprits. Brumbies paying for playing too conservatively too early. Barnes kicks it off the uprights, and Tahman is fired up! 28 - 22, 5 to go. Moore off.

Brumbies warned for closing the gap at the lineout. Don't know why Walsh didn't let they one play on, the Tahs won the ball. Tahs maul, but go nowhere. Tahs go acrossfield on the Tahs 22. Foley wide ball to Betham, outside his man, steps the cover and he's in! Great try, great pass from...

Not a great showing from McCabe, a couple of hit ups to his name only. Tahs with some ball now. Barnes with a short ball to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Fainga'a steals it on the ground and the Tahs get a penalty about 47m out out to the right side. Tahs kick for touch.

McCabe off! Coleman on. Physio was working on his calves.
