Well well well. Who'd have thought. Now just watch the Tahs banana skin next week in Newcastle v Sunwolves as they rest all their Wallabies. I don't even care that my tips are in tatters this week. Great game though! Tahs defence, set piece, positional kicking, and bench impact went a long way...

2 * FREE TICKETS TO TAHS v REDS at the SCG this Saturday. I won some tickets to the Tahs this weekend but can't use them for geographical proximity reasons so if anyone wants them let me know. They are e-tickets so can email whoever. Have asked rugby mates in Sydney and they are either already...

Cheers for the clarifications BH! Swinton look like a big unit too I guess!

Player ratings. I put this on the match report news comments but thought i'd put here as well. 1-10 with 5 being an OK game for a pro footballer. Here goes. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) - 7 - his side of the scrum held up well and was busy around the park. Class was the tackle and turnover after a Canes bust upfield...

Took a while for Holloway to get into the team last year and Latu sent 2/3 of the season not even on the bench for some unknown reason. Regardless I think you're right. No first rate ball runners to get us over the gain line 9/10 times. Still, more concerned about the scrum. They all looked...

Surely between Latu, Kepu, Holloway and Dempsey they can make some metres through the forwards.

Jaysus this could be a long year if we can't get parity at scrum time. Around the park and lineout should be OK but the Brums must have clocked up 150m of territory from scrum penalties off which they scored at least 2 tries from the resulting line out. Other than that some promising signs!

I'm 1000% behind giving Hunt a red hot got at 12. Beale at 15 and Izzy to the wing. Beale defends in the back 3 already and has experience so should be fine. Him and Izzy hanging back for the high balls and counter attacking is what you want. Hunt is far too good at organising a defensive line...
