We had a number on the bench resting as well, the starting team was very different. Hooper back next week so a genuine ‘out’. Missing about 8 or 9 players from the run on side today and no coach. That is a huge difference when you are up against arguably the best AU side in Super Rugby.

Left Barker in 2018. Assuming he was 18 in 2018, he would be around 21/22 now.

I did clarify saying young to Super Rugby.

It was a lottery, lots of decisions went strange ways - both sides

Hahahaha, and we have arguably the best loose forward in Australia and one of the best in the world out. Also Swintonmissing. Just face it, the Reds were poo compared to the hype coming in to this match.

You are right, the fact they were so close at the end shows how terrible the Reds were. Tahs weren’t supposed to get in cooee of them. The replacement scrum was just as good, still earned penalties. Line out different story.

In terms of Super Rugby experience I meant. Plenty of kids who are early 20’s. Reds should have blown them off the park. The front row was lucky not to get a yellow card. If one player (Tupou) makes that much difference, thenReds are going to struggle big time this year.

Mate, the Reds were supposed to monster the Tahs in the forwards. You lose one player and all of a sudden you get pushed off the ball almost every scrum. A VERY young Tahs almost won a match they were supposed to lose by plenty. Lots to be happy with, but as a Reds fan I would be seriously...

Anywhere I can see the game now? Has it been uploaded to YouTube?

Current Year 12 Barker College boy, Ned Slack-Smith has just signed a 2 year contract with the Western Force, looks like they are building some good talent.

News from the Barker grapevine - Ned Slack Smith has signed a 2 year contract with the Western Force - leaves in a couple of months. Good luck to him - he should do well.

Agreed Axe. CAS 2 v CCC was OK, but the current game is shite. Yes it was only $4 to view today but it should be better than this.

Is anyone else's Clutch down?

The much vaunted CAS pack were pushed off the ball numerous times until a few subs came on late in the second half. I think we lost the first 5 scrums on our feed and any ball we got was not clean. Too many pushed and glory passes for such a wet night, Isy had no space and the GPS defense was...

2 of the CAS team playing super rugby now too; Reimer & Edmed. That was a cracking game, Sua'ali'i almost scored in the corner to take the victory on the bell but Ben Bryden stopped him.

Some interesting selections in both teams, not bad, just interesting. I think the CAS forwards will prove too strong for their GPS counterparts meaning the scrums at least will favour the team in red. The GPS forwards have plenty of mongrel, so the breakdown will be interesting - I am going to...

Seriously? You make a claim of only one side cheering in the spirit of the game then come up with this shite above? You have already had one account refuting your "year 6 kid" from someone who was actually at the game (unlike you). It seems you are quite happy to spread rumours, untruths and...

Having been at many schoolboy matches over the years, including this year, that is simply not correct. Cheering happens all the time, big tackles, breaks, defending the line, scrums and points. Sounds a bit like selective hearing for me.

Tackling optional? It’s like the Barker v Cranbrook match last week!

How many 2nds players now on Rod?
