Didn't know Grealy and Taj were leaving. Where are they going?

Nasser and Blyth are suspect, what's the thinking here?

Reds by 7. Hurricanes will struggle without some of their key players and Reds will take things to another level building on last week.

Start Jock Campbell at 15, Petaia to the wing and drop Vunivalu please.

Would be good to see HMP get a crack at the starting 10 spot. I liked what I saw from him in the Tahs trial - still things to work on but direct, defensively a bigger body and looked good playing flat in attack off quick ball.

Anyone know what happened to Luke Jones? Thought he signed for longer than a year?

I know there's a lot of factors at play here but let's not forget how tough it is play to rugby without your first and second choice THP, and have a LHP play THP. Sure it shouldn't be the reason for losing by 34 points but it does contribute

What I want to know is whether Eddie actually had the full support of the players going into the game (in light of the story about the Japanese coaching role being leaked). Surely the players are on social media (regardless of whatever they say in press conferences etc.) and some would have...

What's the view on Slipper's ability to play THP? I haven't seen much of him at THP since he's mostly played LHP. He's not the biggest prop out there (117kg) but with his experience can he anchor down a scrum at THP?

For that first try, the 0.5 second delay at the top by Holloway gives S Barrett the chance to come through and smash McDermott. Compare that with how quick Arnold is able to deliver the ball off the top to 9 in the second half. Either speed or they go to the front pod and have a blocker.

Lonergan in for White. Not yet settled on 2, 3, 7, 10, 13, 15.
