If it is what is intended and that is a selection for on tour in Africa based on our opponents - then Wow, we are developing. How much input the broader coaching team? Stewart, grab it buddy, it yours.

How long does altitude fitness last? Lions have been in Argentina and that altitude fitness should really have been evident. It wasn't, they were listless. Now they are back at height recovering and i suspect that Reds got there to height a day in front of them. The REDS youth is pretty much...

Got to stand by Zander and Fotuaika. They are standing by us. Hope they make the most of their opportunity.

We should all just breathe and relax. Let's see the season unwind for a bit and get Rennie based on home soil. I dont at all think locks will be an issue, even if we need to blood new WBs. And 10 is actually looking interesting for the first time in ages. I don't have an issue with a stop gap...

It’s not so strange and at least I’m a Simmo fan. But the line out calls were poor and he shares the pack responsibility in the scrum. It isn’t a go about his line out ability, it is a criticism of him line out in this game.

Lions, like most of SA teams, have been pillaged and not looking strong in terms of known names. Of course the playing numbers in SA are so huge the right coaching package could continue to bring up players and maintain standards. Hard to tell. New HC, Ivan van Rooyan, was placed in October...

Did not see the touch Adam.

Sorry - They started outside the 25 before going back, n=hence not out on the full.

I'm not sure either, note that that is approx $Aus14M. But also remember that crazy home game thing where only each second was in Japan - is that still happening? There is not a lot for Japan to like. There has been a lot of noise regarding Super looking for new and better markets. Perhaps...

That was my understanding. SAANZAR required finances from the Sunwolves not required from any other franchise. JRU wanted to be treated fairly and were told no. The response was obvious. If that is right, I can't blame JRU and do hold SAANZAR responsible.

As I've said I'm constantly surprised at the general fandom view of Powell. Now kicking is only one part of a 9 game AND it is impacted by the team performance in the danger zone. But I did - for the first half anyway. 0:55 Tate clearance barely clears the 25 leaving Reds pinned. Poor. 6:00...

In part but overall I thought Simmo had a poor night calling the line out. I liked Abel and Robertson. Hooper not at his best, which means of course that he still played well. Jake a touch mixed but mostly good. Thoughtful introduction of Harrison - looks good at 10 I think. Hunt and Foketi...

This.

Something important that we’ve missed. As someone who has been critical of the Reds discipline, that was a perfect display last night. Long may it continue and well done Reds.

My recollection does not concur. What it suggests to me is the the Reds coaching staff did not have either the right stock or more likely the ability to build a good 10. I'm hoping that this has changed and improved with Jim McKay. We really should not be discounting Lucas after an...

Sure, doesnt fit here though. RA claimed they didn't have the cash to hold a fifth franchise. Twiggy offered the cash. The "No" response a clear indicator that more was going on at RA who held little honesty in their narrative with the rugby public. A closer ananolgy is: My car is busted, you...

I didn't mind the JOC (James O'Connor) pass, it was on the back of a period of poor Red play and the poor execution was as much to do with what got them there. Developing combinations will help this, though no doubt a long kick is the low risk and probably coached solution in that position, so we can call it a...

Oh rubbish. Lolesio may have taken a points win but not much in it. Lucas played well and hopefully will continue to play himself into the role. Lucas D in position is superior, secondary I know but a definite strength. Lolesio wins it for me due to the depth that Lucas ended up playing. I...

Oh Sorovi! Well done Brums. Great game both teams, enjoyed that.

Scrm to Reds.
