Reds 2019

he's smart enough.

Jim McKay shuts down talk of Wallabies return, loyal to Reds

Don't forget he was treated harshly by Cheika who dumped him for Larkham.

Jim: "We'll see the same (school of thought as 2011) and there'll be clear intent," he said.
And that IS good news.

Hah, Jim, mate, don't do this to me. Don't get my hopes up and let them be crushed.

Hopefully Jimmy's smart enough to stay away from that dumpster fire for another year. Even then, I'd only want him to be in a consultants role next year for the Wallabies. The Reds need some kind of stability for 2-3 seasons!

Yeah who would want to come into that shit storm on short notice, I'd suggest it be a temp allocation, probably Johnston till after the world cup, or Campo/Ella who have offered.

All the best Ant, get back to Brisbane and do well.

“I’m probably only one more head knock away from being a vegetable or not being able to play with my kids,” Fainga’a told Fox Sports News.
“In 2016, my twin brother (fellow Wallabies representative Saia) got married and at the altar, I was actually getting held up because of the head knocks.
“Everyone wants to keep playing, everyone loves rugby but it only takes that one head knock to (do damage).

I had to give up the game because of one concussion. I'm always amazed when people try to power on after them. Good on him for making the call.

Is there a livestream floating around for the match?

Hegarty taken out in the air 1 min in. Penalty kick to the corner results in the Chief's scoring down the other end.....

This could be a long night (and season) 14-0 to the Chiefs...

 

[Up the Guts]

Chiefs scrum eviscerated by the Reds.

Taniela looks fucking enormous

 

[swingpass]

6 scrum penalties and a cheese in a row to the Reds but no points that will bring the crowds back
