Pretty hard to run a line through the form at the moment, Highlanders have a load out, Hurricanes have key units back

Mauger deserves criticism for not changing his halves earlier. As noted by Dismal, Hammington and Gatland were the main problems for the backs - it was bleedingly obvious watching at the ground. He should have hooked Gatland much earlier.

I’m really enjoying the commitment to play at the line in attack. It makes for far more exciting rugby. The Rebels certainly seem to have the best skills of the Aust teams and they are playing the best rugby with Meakes and Cooper combining well to provide for their outside men.

The Reb v Hig match had 12k more viewers than either of the Reds or Brumbies (75k to both other games 63k) matches which confirms they are the most watchable team Aust has got.
