McReight is showing us what would've happened to Pocock if he played now. Whistled out of the game.

Jeez.how dare we get excited about a young prop not coming out of Queensland, right?

Feel free to get excited, I love a good prop - but when his best attribute is his ‘running game’ and he’s spilt his milk 3 times and been handled like a rag doll by TT, it doesn’t really get me going. Not to mention he’s propping against the 4th string Reds LH and hasn’t made any in roads.

He will probably still be named in the GAGR team of the week though.

How many tries have the Rebels butchered this half? Anyone counting? At least 6 I think. Outstanding defence from the Reds though.

See Rebels? Ball goes over try line with no one underneath it. Very easy.

Great work Reds. Defend, defend, defend, get ball score.

There's nothing wrong with someone who gets the audience excited with their running game. I've only caught the 2nd half but his one drop was pretty tough to take. It's his first season of Super Rugby. He still has a lot of growth and development to go. I've said previously that his scrummaging needs work. It's pretty tough to judge him on being belted by TT who is probably the most explosive prop in the world. At a minimum one of them. He's had a good first season and has a lot to build from.
