Oh FFS. Look I'd like to see that dip stick in a boxing ring with Quade. But come on. It's rugby move on.

This game does NOT deserve to play out with a man missing.

The Pimp! Kings in again a man down.

Wonder if Stiles is happy with the bench this time?

Reds have played some very good attacking footy but they are shipping wayyyy too many points here.

I am glad the Kings have put a few late ones on. Goes to show that anyone (i.e. not just the Force) can have quick fire tries against them if they let the game get too loose.

Feel like the Reds deserve the BP though.

When Stiles subbed off Cooper with 10 to go he must have thought the bonus point was safe. 8 minutes later the Reds nearly lose the match.

It's tough. These blokes come from the "grass roots" of Saffer rugby without the chance of pro coaching stuffing them up. Unfortunately to get to a point where they are regularly winning they need more time with pro coaches.

There is plenty of talent in South Africa. Always will be.

I disagree. The change in the BP system was for exactly this scenario. Defence should matter, and the old system didn't reflect that so much as the new one.

Pretty disappointed the Reds bench absolutely pissed away a bonus point there but otherwise it was entertaining stuff!

The kick pass & falcon tries took us back to 2010/11 for a minute

I give the reds a 5.5/10

Defence went to utter shit

Attack alright

Scrum god tier

L/O meh

Quade - awesome

Kings defence - utterly atrocious (some point in the first half KHunt got a huge clean break and no one even attempted to tackle

29 missed tackles - unimpressive

25 for Kings (but then you have to actually attempt a tackle to miss one)

PASSES FINALLY STARTED TO STICK!!!!
