Plenty of ball carrying options at almost every position. Line out options everywhere. Plenty of work rate. 2 good...

He was quality against the Chiefs as well, so has shown he can do it against quality as well.

The Tahs team is missing the most important thing in today’s game and that winning the contact zone. Just about everyone of their front 5 loses the contact battle with and without the ball. Short isn’t good enough and they need a big body at 13 or 12.

Ex-rebel news - Jordy Reid has signed for Gloucester. Very happy for him, Jordy is a champion of a bloke

Hosea is highly thought of, he’s literally back from injury only a few weeks ago. Was immense for the under 20s. Very good getting his hands on the ball come maul time and carry’s well in heavy traffic. Prefers to play in tight. The big South African played well last week, Koegelenberg. RHP...

What game do people watch some times? Both DHP and Banks have been pretty good this year. They are two completely different players. One is super safe under the high ball, offers a genuine 2nd kicking option in the attacking line (note Banks doesn’t kick much at first or second receiver) and is...

Philip was a little frustrated with the lack of opportunity last year, which I completely get considering the stuttering form of a few guys that got a gig. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was a change of mind if given an opportunity this year.

My team if picked now would be 1 Sio (Brums) 2 Fainga'a (Brums) 3 AAT (Brums) 4 Rodda (Reds) 5 Philip (Rebels) 6 Valetini (Brums) 7 Hooper (Tahs) 8 Naisarani (Rebels) 9 White 10 To'omua (Rebels) 11 Koroibete (Rebels) 12 JOC (James O'Connor) (Reds) 13 Kurindrani (Brums) 14 Petaia (Reds) 15 Banks (Brums) 16 Mafi...

Because we are 2 wins from 5 matches. He’s played well but I dare say we are all a little shy on talking about the team given the last few seasons implosions and the loss to the Sunwolves to start the year.

You can pay for Optus Sport if you’re on another provider. $14.99 per month I believe

Both Stewart and Daugunu can kick sticks. Not that they are amazing but better than Campbell

Some very strange substitutions from the Reds. It’s almost as if he’s challenging his young players to win it.

Been close to best player on the field last 2 games he’s played.

Any word on how Sham Vui is going? I had big hopes for him.

Our best talents are Semisi Tupou and Hosea, unfortunately Tupou has done his ACL and Hosea expect to see in squads in the coming weeks. Has his first hit out for the season against Tahs A yesterday after injuries to start the season. We all need to remember Taniela Tupou, Uelese, Maddocks, etc...

Can’t help but feel that first game against the Sunwolves will come to bite us in the bum. Just like Coleman’s refusal to take the 3 against the Jags 2 seasons ago for a draw after 80mins instead of trying for the win, it ended up being the difference to not making the finals. Then the Tahs 2nd...

Not one person has claimed there is a problem coming from NZ or Aus. The statistics clearly show that as well. As stated above the issue is SA refs in SA. There is a massive disparity between the stats produced when they are reffed by a SA ref to a neutral.

Tahs should stick with that team now, it will turn over a few teams this year. Biggest issue is at 13 and the bench. Ino he’s at the Brumbies but the Force halfback from last year would be a great influence from the bench.

Short isn’t at the required standard, the moment Gordon went off team hasn’t looked the best.

My understanding is that it doesn’t include the Autumn internationals. That space is run under world rugby authority. The 6 Nations and RC IP are owned by the member unions. These competitions administer themselves unlike Autumn and Spring internationals.
