Bryce Lawrence, who is fairly even handed with his mistakes overall but he makes a hell of a lot of them. Should be reffing U/15's.

You might be right but I doubt it. Near the end of the game, the cameras panned across to Ewan McKenzie. He was absolutely filthy, someone was going to get a huge bollocking as soon as he got back to the rooms. They'll probably need to do another repaint on the walls.

Burgess and O'Connor with Barnes at 10.

Is this the same Saia Fainga'a and Ben Darwin who were under severe pressure and going backwards for most of the match in the scrum. This to a weak scrum that was monstered the week before. Then they want Ben Alexander at THP again when he's playing LHP, leaving out Palmer and Baxter, who both...

Glad Kimlin is on the way back. He's a top class operator when fit.

Congrats Moses!! This fantasy thing is new to me so I went conservative and chose the world's best halfback. What did it get me? -4 bloody points! He's going to be transferred for sure, even though they play the Easybeats next week. Fantasy's a good word for it. All three Rebels locks...

The Red scrum struggled against a scrum that got repeatedly monstered just a week ago. I don't think the Force tight five ate spinach all week, I reckon its just an indication that the Red front row is just not up to it. The penalty for hand on the ground came when the Red prop was going full...

Got all fired up thinking the Tahs were looking like specials for the comp, and then watched this game on Saturday. Both teams were a grade above anything else I saw on the weekend (Reds v Force unlikely to change my mind). Hard to say anyone played badly but I thought Mealamu was absolutely...

And that's the point. If the passes had stuck the Brumbies would have been hammered. Ergo this was a lucky win against an opponent playing poorly. The Brumbies need to learn to defend against a good backline (not just a good backline playing poorly), to outplay a good tight 5 (not hold their...

If the Brumbies weren't selecting on reputation, then next week it would be To'omua and Coleman, with Giteau on the bench.

3. Palmer 2. Coleman 1. McCabe Giteau was poor.

I want to go back and watch the game again tomorrow. Particularly, I want to know why we had so little ball in the first 20 minutes. Against the Crusaders or Bulls that would have led to a two try deficit. Also in the first 20 the scrums were not looking good at all. It wasn't till I noticed...

Now I think reds followers will understand why Link is looking to pick a very big pack. Its not to push over the Force, which they will do with little difficulty. Its to prepare them for the game next week. Link knows how hard it will be this year to get over the top of the Tahs and now...

Of their three front rowers, one is a rookie who looks OK and the other two are scrummaging boys. This week they might hold up but next week.....?

Expect them to be propped up by the Cheetahs, Highlanders, Rebels and maybe a couple of others.

They must be paying the Beast a fortune to be in the squad, otherwise he would have gone long ago. Doesn't do his Boks chances any favours though.

Anyone who picks Jimmy Cowan for anything and then gets himself a mention on the rugby club is starting to tread on very thin ice! :lmao:

Hate to rain on your science but if there are four Force players in the top 15 then there can be only 11 Reds ergo the multiplier is 2.75. What do they teach at school up there?

The info on Fox seems to be updated very slowly. The only backrower listed as injured is the invisible man but Palu is definitely out. There's a couple of other injured players from other categories who are not tagged too (that I found earlier). Can anyone explain how it works as I've already...
