True they've been the best, but the gulf is getting bigger. They did that in a canter

The crusaders are becoming the All Blacks of the NZ conference

You can't keep them all. I think the current Reds back row is a good mix of potential and experience

I agree that there was a lot of hope that someone would step up at 10 and having played well at Aus u20s and NRC at a young age that he might be the heir apparent. I honestly can't say how he stacks up at super level because he hasn't had the chance. Maybe he's not the Messiah but I'd like to...

I don't understand what they're doing with Stewart. He was played out of position in both attack and defense last then dropped. A lot of people touted him as a potential future Wallaby 10, but his confidence must be shaken.I quite like Hegarty as a player, but doesn't strike me as as playmaker.

Especially QC (Quade Cooper). The other 2 forced thorns hand, but I still don't know what What Quade did. He's been playing very well in s position that the Reds haven't exactly been setting the world on fire yet

As always BH a good point. A lot of misconcieved perceptions abound around here. Set piece does need improvement

Yep, Crusaders nullified the Reds pack but Latu's suspension makes that unlikely for the Waratahs. Should be a really interesting game.

True (except for the first scrum for JP at 55 mins when Reds a man down) but the Smith's didn't have to pack down against a fresh Moody and Frank's, so at best they were better finishers than the Sader FR

It’s not as good as Darcy Swain’s, but better than JJH’s

Who really cares. The season is obviously lost now after a first round defeat . The negativity is just so tiresome on this thread I’m off, enjoy the season, but somehow I doubt you will

The lineoutdvwewcgood for us o their this.our throw not so much

Particularly their first game of the season, we’ve lost bd T and it’ll take a few games to gel. The scrum wasn’t the basket case it was supposed to be, line out s need improvement but by no means an embarrassing first hit out

It’s frustrating to lose, but a kick able goal in the last minute would have sealed it. It’s not like we lost to The a Sunwolves. They just over the Canes who were at the pointy end last year. They also did a lot to win. Just relax. It’s s long season

Exactly. If they kicked the goal and won it still wouldn’t have been enough. A first round 1 point loss to a strong Kiwi team was unfortunate but fuck I’m over all the excessive negativity. It’s a long season, get over it

His defence needs to improve by not being a turnstile by throwing high arms. I don’t care who is outside him, everyone should have a job to do in attack AND defence

Agreed. While I’m not as gushing at the Fox team, I thought he played well in attack and made the right decision to come to the Rebels and play off the best Australian 9 again. His defence has to improve, but hopefully that will come when he plays more at this level

Really? Only time I sighted him he made mistakes
