Wilson is having a shocking game.

I'd be reluctant to go with Kefu. We need an experienced coach with proven results as HC at super rugby level (or equivalent abroad) or even as an assistant at international level under a reputable HC in a high performance environment. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the job though.

Any updates on Wright's injury. He looked to be in quite a bit of pain (blowing green whistle) and I heard dislocated shoulder?

Reds have been hit and miss all season, unpredictable, inconsistent and don't really know which team will turn up on the day.

Wtf is that tackle Creighton???

Why is Creighton kicking not Lynagh??

Ref finally brings out a yellow card, only 60 min late.

Cynical play that gets overlooked is very different to what you're talking about.

Another cynical Blues player on the ground putting hand out. Not a McReight knock on!

Wright having a blinder.

Blues cynical every time Reds enter the 22.

I've been thinking about this game a lot. Blues coming off a tough loss to the Crusaders will be keen to bounce back. Reds, on the other hand, coming off one of the biggest upsets in recent times by beating the Chiefs. I can see how complacency could creep in for the Reds but I really do hope...

I really do hope the Reds play well but with this team I'm expecting it could get ugly for them in New Plymouth. It will be a good learning opportunity for some very inexperienced players.

I don't understand the Reds tap penalty moves. Doesn't work at Super level. Also too impatient trying to score too early (Vest and Wilson) when they should recycle and trust the next phase.

Reds absolutely pathetic. No urgency whatsoever. It looks like they don't care?

I'd have JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 and Paisami at 12 (if available), especially with Izaia Perese as the likely opposing 13. I can see the benefits of playing Lynagh/Creighton at 10 and JOC (James O'Connor) at 12, but the Reds need genuine go-forward hard running ball carriers in the tight, especially to take the load off...

Paisami must be getting close to being back too (I think it was initially 5 weeks or something from when he injured his knee which would've been round 5). Much needed fire power in the midfield would bolster the Reds in attack and defence.

This one's going to be a tight one I think. Both coming off good wins, not much between the two sides and important game for both in the context of the season. If both teams show up, should be a good one.

Any word on whether LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and ASY (Angus Scott-Young) are looking to return home?

With the Lord (Laurie) finishing up with the Brumbies at the end of this season, any chance we could see him being snapped up join to the Reds in any kind of capacity (e.g. forwards coach, scrum coach). He would be enormous in turning around the struggling Reds pack.
