Big all, but Daley et al scrummaged well against the SA sides.
Robinson is pretty handy around the park.

Just think Robo needs to do more to absolutely cement his spot -

But one thing Samo's new side shares with his old is their regard of bitter-rivals NSW.
''When I played at the Brumbies it was always a big game for us,'' he said. ''We really hated the Waratahs and when we played them every time we played it was like there was going to be a fight.
''We were always pumped up and wanted to smash them.''

The Bok sides aren't that great at scrum time and shouldn't be considered a major milestone. The Tahs haven't had issues with them for a few years.
The Crusaders are the benchmark, they are the best scrum in the comp by a long way, the Tahs were smashed for a while until Robbo came on.

Daley's not 'much better' around the park than Robinson, if at all. Robinson has exceptional skills in addition to his work in the tight. You'll often see him at scrum half for rucks for the Wallabies, and making turnovers like a seven.

Normally the last forward to the ruck gets to be scrumhalf though....
But agree that his all round skills are great. At the moment, Daly seems to have a slightly better work rate, but not all the skills that Robbo has.

Agree with that Scotty - my comments were not to bag Robo but just want to see him back at his best - very very important for RWC

Iteresting to see Shipperley on the bench. I thought they would have gone with Toua.

That's official. Davies out with knee injury sustained last week.
Morahan also announced he has resigned with the Reds for another 2 years in more good news for us.
Or if Kurtley plays 10 at the Rebels next year.

with Shepherdson starting, it makes Link look even more like a genius for giving him game time in the Republic

And hardly any injuries. This is the first time they have lost a prop due to injury I think. Would everybody be saying how well the Reds were going if S. Fainga'a, Hanson, Daley, Robinson, Higgers, Cooper and A. Fainga'a had had extensive time out due to injury. I doubt it.
Amazing how much luck plays a part in being successful. I would think the Brumbies would have gone a whole lot better if Moore, Edmonds, Elsom, Chapman, McCabe and Hoiles had been fit for the first half of the season.

Luck or a good conditioning program with a smart rotational policy...
How many of those rotations have been made due to niggling injuries?
Reds haven't been without injury, Horwill, Hynes, Tapuai, Shatz, Toua, Wallace-Harrison, Lucas, Slipper, Davies, Humpries and Samo are all players who haven't been considered for selection due to injury at some point this season.

Good post. I was going to have a crack at it myself, but I didn't bother.
