Just had a noisy storm here in Brissy, with another band of heavy rain abput to pass through. Suncorp is well drained, & hopefully the rain will be over by the time the game starts.

With Damian McKenzie as the opposing fly half, I would be evaluating who is the better defender between Lynaugh & HPM? HPM should'nt be underestimated.

Kiss could be wanting to give HMP starting time against a powerful NZ side to make sure he has suficient backup in the fly half position should Lyngh incur an injury toward the finals, assuming the reds make the cut, which is a very safe bet.

Could be that Joe Schmidt, who helps in advising the Super Teams coaching staff, wants to see players (especially the props), who are eligible for the Wallabies squad, whereby JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) is not. But agreed that JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) offers a lot to the front row.

I'd have Zane Nonggorr before Tom Robertson as a prop. Maybe have Tom as a centre.

Probably a very interesting, & very close came coming up, even with Ben O'Keeffe refering it. In the overall forward packs, an even batttle. Alex Hodgman, Richie Asiata, & Massimo De Lutiis will out perform Marley Pearce, Nic Dolly, & Tom Robertson for front row domination of the scrums. With...

Have'nt seen Rugby Reg doing any posts recently. Anyone know what's happened there?

I've just looked at the current injury list for thr Reds, and see that we have 11 players injured. Only the Auckland Blues with 12 injuries have more than us. The Chiefs have 10. The following players are injured: Jock Campbell Matt Faessler Josh Flook Matt Gibbon Frankie Goldsbrough Mason...

The Highlanders are having a mixed season to date, with 2 wins & 2 losses. One loss was to the Waratahs by a point, and a win against the Auckland Blues 29 -21. Although the Highlanders have the home ground advantage, the Reds, depending on current injuries, have the stronger team. But this...

I think the fact that Joe Scmidt has a high esteem of Kiss's coaching methods says a lot.

WAs this picture taken just after Mc Reight scored & Anderson jumped on him to celebrate & damaged his shoulder?

I think Murray is a running disaster at 15. The guy seems to be mistake ridden - how many Reds moves fail when the ball gets to him. Especially against the Force when with an open line in front of him he drops the ball cold, which fortunately did not cost us the game. He is not at professional...

Sounds like you've got a chip on your shoulder. Those aforementioned players started their rugby tuition in Queensland, but were born Kiwis. The information I supplied was to answer a question from TSR, "Ikitau & Lolesio also originally Queenslanders, aren’t they?" Not the gubbly gook, as...

Re: Post #76 Len Ikitau - of Samoan nationality but born in NZ. Parents moved to Queensland, & Len played schoolboy league atMarsden State High School, Logan City, QLD & then Rugby at Brisbane Boys' College Noah Lolesio - born in Auckland NZ & educated at The sSouthport School, Gold Coast. So...

The point is that the halfback has a lot more decisions to make in a shorter period of time. This was also reflected in Jake's game as well. Refs were a bit loose with their clearance times for the halves prior to the 5 second rule. They have really stepped up on this recently.
