Super Rugby 2023 Rd 1 - Reds v Hurricanes

Qldtragic

Ted Fahey (11)
What are Reds fans opinions on Isaac Henry? Is he going to be bench this year starting when inevitable injuries strike?
Is Paisami/Flook better than Henry/Paisami?
Henry / Flook would be the best combo
Paisami off the bench to carve up the fatigued back end.

The question is always: How good will be the Kiwis this season? If they play at a high level, there's no chance. The best for the competition would be Aussies playing at high level and Kiwis not being perfects.

There were seasons where the high level of Kiwis was impossible to match

Like this team a lot - a little unsure about Zander but let's see how he goes.

Big shame about Wright, can't seem to catch a break.

Reported in the Canberra Times today that Vunivalu (and JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor)) is suffering a lingering ankle injury.

Thanks BR

And this is why we need a centralised website that lists injury updates for all teams in the comp.

Somehow the Canberra Times know Vunivalu's injury status but his own team won't update anyone...
