What has McKenzie got against To'omua at 10? Yeah, he did well at 12 last year, but naming Beale as one of the 10's and To'omua in the centres? I'd like to know what Beale has done in the past 18 months in the no 10 position to warrant his selection there. Foley I can understand, he is playing...

Ok, so this is just my opinion based on what I have seen recently. I admire anyone who is able to beat personal demons like Beale has, I know how much strength of character that can take. So this is not meant as an attack on him, just some concerns ... Every time I watch Beale at the moment he...

6 points? 4 for the win + 1 for 4 tries ?? I had a big night last night so bear with me but I'm confused ;) I watched the game on delay after knowing the score. So many times I found myself saying 'well i know they aren't going to score here so how are they going to mess it up this time?' So...

I usually find that swearing in these forums is pretty childish ... But ... for fucks sake pull your fucking head in and get over it! What, do you think that every player who has ever played junior, schoolboy or club rugby in QLD should only be able to play for the Reds? That's just not...

Traitor? Well that's mature.

I think you have every right to be annoyed with the non yellow card and won't rag on anyone bagging the ref for that reason. It the roles were reversed and it was one of the Brumbies players on the receiving end of the punch I'm pretty sure we'd all be doing the same thing. The ones that are...

Apparently it is perfectly acceptable if you are a Tah. I recall AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) doing the exact same thing to an AR in Canberra, telling him to "do his fucking job". The attitude of the players is pretty appalling. They appear to believe that they are entitled to have things their way. Not all of them of...

Interesting given that most people on here agree that the no try call was correct and its the non-yellow that is the contentious issue. Put the punching aside for a moment. Walsh was pretty clear that if Quirk had not held Moore then the try would stand. It was pretty publicly known that refs...

From what I understand a club player from another Canberra club, lower grades I think, is trying to drum up support AGAINST the UC Vikings, the Canberra Times mentioned a petition which has 250 + signatures. I might be wrong. If that is correct though, it seems pretty poor form. I think...

Wow, kinda mixed emotions. Total admiration for his dedication but really hoping no long term damage. But yes, my opinion of him has just risen ... again! I believe he is doing a good job as captain. He has the kind of dedication and temperament that is ideal, and honestly something that I...

Couldn't agree more. An ugly win is better than a pretty loss in my book.

I I know I'm a little late to the party, but I like the looks of this line up.

Which is apparently one of the reasons that White wasn't selected as coach (I'm ignoring the nationality issue as I have always believed it should simply be the best man regardless of nationality). Test rugby isn't entertaining enough.

Was just about to mention this article. Yes, most players were not at their best, but to suggest it is necessary to dumb the game plan down to match their skills is pretty poor. All of these players have been selected because of their skills and have previously demonstrated their ability. So...

I know that a lot of people are questioning Nic Whites game and ability after the last couple of games and don't know if this has been discussed already but how much did his injury effect his confidence? He was having a great season, got injured therefore missed out on lions opportunity and I...

First quick tap, didn't release ball so should have been called back. Second quick tap taken no where near where free kick given, should have been called back. However Brums really need to get their arses in gear.

Apologies, obviously I took your comment the wrong way, I just thought it was harsh to say a that player, who by your own admission you have not seen play, who was knocked out a minute into the game didn't live up to the hype.

Having seen him play every game this year, it is not the usual way Lilo tackles. And yes, I agree it is not a good technique, it's how A. Fiangaa got knocked out in the WC (I think it was the WC) Also obviously Lilo didn't show his skill, one poor tackle and you write him off? Find some footage...

If he had the kickers would he still have avoided the set piece? He said in the post game interview that they did want to avoid it, whereas the set piece seemed to work pretty well last night for the Brumbies. Just curious.

Love this from one of the idiots who made a comment on the Fox Sports article. "Well, the Brumbies just cooked the Wallabies. The Lions were chock-full of complacency heading into tonites game,if they'd won the Wallabies could have really pulled an ambush. No chance now. The Reds & Waratahs...
