Certainly a willing forward battle. Can't say much more than that.

The scary thing is, that's our halves pairing for the Wallabies on show for the Tahs.

Pretty ordinary first 40. Hopefully the Reds figure out how to score points during the break.

That's zero points in the last 114 minutes they've played.

Reds ball is mostly complete crap. They have a lot of it, but no-one is going forward. Backs have no space to move.

A few pick and drives around the ruck might actually work this game. One out forward runners are a complete waste of time though.

I dunno, I still tend to think that the Tahs will get some ball in the second half and run around the crappy Reds defence.

I don't think that the Reds can score points, too much running across field from even their outside backs, and their forwards are getting smashed in the collisions around the rucks.

So @Qwerty has confined both Stirzaker and White to the scrap heap, but here we have both Phipps and Genia playing worse. Phipps in particular has been way off the mark with his passing game and that has been stifling the Tahs' attack. He has also picked up a knee injury but his passing was awful before that.

Foley is having a shocker. Kick out on the full from a ruck outside the 22m and then a penalty kick that goes dead in goal. If Nic White had done that the forum would have gone into melt down.

Nic actually has been the stand out No 9 this weekend depending on how the others play in the second half.

And the second half starts where the first left off, a penalty. Whatever Dennis was thinking with that I'll never know.

The only option is now Phibbs.

Slipper gone at halftime - shoulder. Paraka on. Be interesting to see the effect on the Reds scrum.

Same story for Reds forwards, in the Tahs 5m but losing the collisions.

Palu with a turnover. He's been loving these trench warfare conditions.

Reds steal a Tahs lineout after the Tahs finally get some ball.
