Have you played fly half mate? It happens to the best of teams. If this happened every game I would have a whinge. I think McIntyre is having a solid game and his kicking has been on fire considering the wind.
Great to see Tuttle get a run with the other reserves. Looking forward to seeing Duncan on the paddock.

But hey, what a star he was for The Bottomgrasp College 1st XV!
MOTM for the Reds was actually probably CFS. Tui was my pick of the forwards.
I keep hearing/reading comments like this from people on here and yet our co-interim head coaches keep picking him. To start and play 70+ mins each week no less.I feel sorry for McIntyre because he obviously isn't up to playing at this level.
No the Brumbies beat them by 50 ish.. take the light blue eyes off...This is making the rebels v brumbies game from last night look enteretaining in hindsight..and I described that game as ponderous. Canes having a horrible night, their worst performance of the year by a long way - and still in front!

I'll watch it again too with special focus on CFS, but I actually thought he had the best game I've seen him play.
Not just the try either, though that was an excellent bit of running. But even before the try I was thinking he was doing well, or at least better than in previous weeks. I will re-assess with the replay!
One of QC (Quade Cooper)'s first starting games was a massive upset of the Bulls in 2008(?) - they put 40 points on them.I keep hearing/reading comments like this from people on here and yet our co-interim head coaches keep picking him. To start and play 70+ mins each week no less.
Given that both Matt O'Connor and Nick Stiles are quite experienced coaches at this level, I'd be inclined to think that they probably have a better idea of who's up to Super Rugby standard and who's not than some online keyboard warriors like us.
I think we need to cut McIntyre and the other (very) young Reds some slack. We can't make the finals so what's the harm in giving McIntyre time to get some Super Rugby experience?
I can't remember Foley/Carter/Cooper/To'omua/etc's first season of Super Rugby but we're they instantly recognised as being stars or did it take a little time for the talent to shine through?

Once again I was very impressed with Magnay. His and Kerevi in the centres (some how) is pretty exciting.
For mine there are some very big legacy issues with the Reds that are the left overs from Graham and maybe Cordingley.
The backrow with Tui and Browning just lacks a bit of balance and effectiveness for me, and even though they get to many breakdowns early they have little presence, and apart from startling open space runs Browning and Tui have little impact in carries. Indeed they look much like the Tahs with an aged Palu and Mumm. except opposition still try to avoid Palu a bit.
Goromaru - I am very disappointed, I along with so many others was captivated by his performances at the RWC. At the Reds he has failed to achieve anything near what we know he is capable of, why? Has he been Grahamised?
CFS - I have been waiting for what seems like years for the brilliance of this much hyped youngster to show itself. Still waiting and IMO looking for another youngster like Magnay who demonstrates some urgency and desire to actually be there would be better than continuing to put half arsed CFS out there.
