Someone needs to tell that punk kid trying to get the crowd to boo the kicker that this isn't league.

Beside the punk kid, Cooper's kicking since he has been back has improved. good news for the Reds and Wallabies this weekend. ...

Game opening up. This is where the NRC needs to improve. The players wilt after the hectic pace.

Hingano scores from a long run in. Pinball conversion bounces a few times off the metal and out for Angus.

26 - 53

@ 69 mins. Now Browning scores. Need better defence than this!

26 - 61 @ 71 mins.

More meat..... BNE OVER. Curtis Browning

Browning gets a definite piggy try from 1 metre out.

Quade has scored 21 points so far.

This is the type of game we didn't want in the NRC. 61-26. Might be more of it in the last 2 rounds.

Eh.. I'm enjoying it.

 

[Dctarget]

Probably doesn't help having a world class ten run riot against a tired side.

 

[biggsy]

Coopers hands skills with ball in hand showing off tonight. So good to watch

BNE OVER AGAIN...

Eh.. I'm enjoying it.

It's not that bad but it's the type of game that detracts from the credibility to the NRC. I'd rather a 30-20 game where possession is heavily contested.

Big prop Phil "Kiteh" Kite scores

26 - 69 @ 75

 

[Wilson]

As long as he pulls up OK Quade is looking pretty damn ready for the wallabies. Not a lot more he could've done tonight.

 

[Dctarget]

Quade looking very comfortable and confident, definitely hasn't been too selfish either.

 

[Dctarget]

That try wasn't really The Rays fault, some slick hands from Brisbane.
