KHunt for mine was poor. Yes, an argument can be mounted that we should slow to criticise given that this is his first game back, he's still adapting to the game, the players around him aren't playing well etc etc the list goes on...... But to be honest I expected more from him. Hopefully he'll...

Some key players for the Bulls rested in Serfontein, Strauss and Pollard. Disrespect?

Pocock, the Turnover King...... Absolutely killed it.

I'd like to see: Slipper, Fainga'a, Holmes, McDulling, Simmons, Thompson, Gill, Browning, Genia, Hunt, CFS, Fainga'a, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Turner. Reserves: Hanson, Daley, Talakai, Kotze, Korczyk, Frisby, Tapuai, Magnay. Lot of debate around the 10 jersey. In my opinion Hunt @ 10 because lesser...

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but is it true Pocock now weighs in at 115kg?

I have a feeling that RG antics will mean Frisby at 10..... My pecking order for 10: 1. JOC (James O'Connor) 2. KHunt 3. Tuttle 4. Frisby

Fainga'a > Hanson.

Reds flyhalf Quade Cooper and Number 8 Jake Schatz have been ruled out of the team's South African tour due to injury. Cooper fractured his scapula making a tackle, while Schatz ruptured a tendon in his elbow after his arm was caught in an awkward position in a ruck. Cooper will be sidelined for...

You'd expect a person getting paid three quarters of a million dollars to be able to accurately pass a ball though...... There's no beating around the bush that players get paid to play and deliver.

Liam Gill played the house down... For mine he was by far the best player on the field

I would've started Fainga'a over Hanson as he's better in the set piece.

What was he thinking..... Counting chickens before they even hatch.

And that's the point. The pressure was there by virtue of what preceded the attempted kick. I'm sure he can slot it 9 times out of 10 without pressure, but get a shit platform to work off (like what happened in the game) and it's whole different situation.

That last play with the drop goal was way off. No go forward in the phases preceding it (= no back tracking defence) + Predicable + Too long to set up = Easy charge down by Lions

On a positive note - Greg Holmes to start at THP.

Could've gone a few more phases before going for the drop goal........

Anyone know why Beau Robinson was left out? Seems unusual to put Browning at 7. Other than that, quite expected. Though I would've started Kotze and Holmes. It's refreshing to know that Hendrik Tui, Rob Simmons, Karmichael Hunt, Ed O'Donoghue and JJ Tualagi will be in the mix next week.

I wouldn't be so quick to suggest that QC (Quade Cooper) should wear 10 at the WC, before he's even donned a reds jersey this year. BF-To'omua would be my 10-12 combo for now, subject to change, pending how well/consistently QC (Quade Cooper) plays in Super Rugby.
