The referee's effects microphone picks up some colourful language. Apparently one of the players thinks one of his opponents may have some faeces on his cranium.

Reds go to the bench. Replaced are 3, 4, (Murday on) and 2 (Hansen on). 57 minutes gone.

Reds getting sucked into committing big numbers to the breakdown contest. Clan haven't been able to take tactical advantage of this yet, but there are gaps appearing in the Reds D line.

Sh!t, Shatz scores. First meat to the Reds. Easy as Bro. JOC (James O'Connor) converts. Reds 10 Clan 9. 50 minutes gone.

Genia is doing a bit of the old lateral two step and pass movement that upsets many purists. Hold the press. Sanchez may have snaffled a meat pie by diving on a loose pill from a poorly controlled Clan lineout. TMO says nah. Held up. Reds attacking scrum 5 metres out.

Scrums are a bloody mess tonight. Penalty lottery wheel is being spun after most of them.

The Reds go Red, and Campbell Magnay is on. Unsure who has been replaced or why?

Bulls 1. Morne Mellett 2. Adriaan Strauss 3. Trevor Nyakane 4. Jacques du Plessis 5. Victor Matfield 6. Deon Stegmann 7. Lappies Labuschagne 8. Pierre Spies 9. Rudy Paige 10. Handre Pollard 11. Francois Hougaard 12. Jan Serfontein 13. JJ Engelbrecht 14. Bjorn Basson 15. Jesse Kriel 16. Callie...

Lucky escape for the Reds there as Sanchez just (only just) manages to dot the ball down for a 22 drop out ahead of a Clanner. 37 minutes gone. Reds 3, Clan 9. Can smell the oranges. Edit: It's oranges. No change to the score. All kicks. Both teams have missed one PK attempt. NZ...

Have clubs been too busy targeting the cream of the crop from the class of 2014, and forgotten that there is a certain quality in quantity? It is very easy to win games with a roster of talented players, "developed" elsewhere, and that makes "the programme" at that club look good. It is very...

Norths had some quality players last year, but were lacking player numbers in their overall roster. I'd heard whispers that they had recruited well from the Central Coast, and one of the GPS schools. Be a shame to have a bye in Colts 3. Maybe the draw on the NSW website is an...

He speaks too soon about how the Reds are doing and they are penalised again to allow Banks to add 3 points to the score. 24 minutes gone. The Clan 9 Reds 3.

The hex from the Zoo works as Bieber boy pushes a rather easy PK wide. Score remains 3 - 3 after 20 minutes. Reds holding their own, but just get penalised about 45 metres out to give Banks a shot at goal right from centrefield. Flags raised and the Clan go out to 6 - 3 after 22 minutes.

One can dream @Waiopehu OB, one can dream.... ... ....

Feeling happy about tipping the Reds this week. The Zoo is in good voice this week.

Thanks @2BF. Just had a look at last years results and draw at Kiama7s. Not as popular as I thought it was for the Shute Shield Clubs. The sevens circuit is probably less appealing this year with an earlier start to the Shute Shield with the RWC, TRC and NRC and all that to be squeezed...
