Yep, agree

Although his defence was good once again - 12 tackles, some crucial ones that saved tries.

Daugunu and Uru both played Under 20 for Fiji and moved to Australia as adults to play rugby. Tupou was scouted by the Reds while he was playing school rugby in NZ, moved here specifically for rugby. Same with Lynagh, who grew up in England and moved to Australia for rugby. The first three are...

But they're not born and bred Australians. I'm sure Tonga wouldn't mind Tupou while Fiji would welcome Uru and Daugunu. My point is we shouldn't criticise other countries for doing something that we do ourselves.

So what? We could easily have Tupou, Uru, Daugunu and Lynagh in the Wallabies -- all foreign born and raised.

Depends which stadium he's talking about - no good getting the tram up to Moore Park for the Test match.

Reds 45-12 - Toomaga-Allen a hattrick off the bench including one 60-metre special. (However, I will settle for 3-0 with a Tom Lynagh penalty)

Anyone in Toowoomba watching, Tailgate Sports Bar will have it on. That's where I'm heading.

But as I pointed out yesterday, we keep winning, Auckland keep winning. We host the Blues in the final in front of 50,000. It is the way.

What are you on about? We are going to win the whole thing.

So if and when Reds and Blues keep winning does that mean a Suncorp final? Guess I should free up my diary for that Saturday.

And a Tongan

They could come up against the two Fijians in the Wallabies. Makes perfect sense

Always a leaguey. Came down from Townsville to Toowoomba Grammar on a scholarship.

Putting on my conspiracy tin hat now. Coaches always say the hardest game to win is the week after you play in Fiji. So the Tahs get a bye the week after they play there, while the Reds have a six day turnaround before having to play the Tahs in Sydney. Just bad luck?
