TT Rnd 1: Highlanders v Reds

Ignoto

Daugunu dropping a sitter. God damnit man.

What the fuck is this Reds side? As soon as they play a Kiwi team they lose all their mojo.

The Reds probably had one training session where they weren't hung over and then had to fly to Dunedin.

It was a stupid idea not to give them until Sunday. Same with the Brumbies.

The best Oz team albeit missing a few and on a short turnaround being done over by one of the bottom two NZ sides! Doesnt augur well for Rebs, Force and Tahs.
Not like the Highlanders were running out an All Black heavy side eh.

Either couldn't hold on to the pill or exit from the 22, so therefore couldn't expect any other result. Bear in mind, in the first season of Super 12 (1996), Otago belted the Reds (57-17) but the Reds turned it around and finished the regular season on top of the table. Hopefully Queensland work out that they need to execute in these faster, more physical matches.

yeah, one game into a 26-game comp is the best time to bin it, saves all the mess later on.

Yep and there used to be a saying going around how the Aussies would take on anyone at anything, it's just their supporter's that apparently pull the pin at first sign. You boys don't want to let your players hear this gutless talk!

Mate you and I both know Thorn will be working out how to fix it, and my bloody Canes are gonna cop the backlash! In a few weeks.
