McKibben stripped Quirke with ease. McKibben and Foley still having good games

Hopper absolutely burnt shipperly on that kick chase

Its even

Volavola manages not to trip over his own feet and score

I thought Carter would have leanrt not to kick away turnover ball against queensland

Tahs looking a lot hungrier on the coalface

Tahs blow another try with the line open. Fatcat cleaning out and carrying well. Drew Mitchell showing that he is all class.....and then he drops one cold

O'Donoghue again - couple of stupid breakdown penalties

Ed O'Donoghue is a muppet

Great take off the kickoff by Shipperly - why hasn't Folauy been used in that role

Foley taken over the kicking - 17-10

Tahs in - Folau. Good play by Foley. Reckon the papers will now say he had a dream debut

Speed to thebreakdown is killing the Tahs - whole qld backrow got back to help Shipperly cleaning up behind the line without a single NSW forward in sight

In fairness, there have been some very good passages by the Tahs in attack, but undone by simple errors and low percentage plays. The work without the ball has been awful - poor defensive patterns, individual missed tackles, giving up the breakdown. Hard to believe that Chieka told them not to...

I was worried about the NSW halves before the natch but (kicking aside) they have been amongst the best players. Folau looking more than a bit lost

Samo is pretty handy in that role but he was missing too. You feel that on their day, with a first choice team on the pitch the reds could beat anyone. Without an incredible slice of luck that is only likely to happen a couple of times all season. While they may be the best Aussie franchise...

Mogg took a couple of chances well - but was not tested at all in defence and knocked one on with no-one in front that was tough but he probably should have caught. White, Speight, Mowen, Pocock and Gill were all very good. Honourable mention to AWH, Tapuai, the Brumbies scrum and Cooper who...

I agree that they are still showing the good structure and low error count that made them hard to beat last year - and ensured that they did not drop games they should have won. Their issue last year was having the ability to go up a gear and beat the very good teams - on tonight's showing the...

Mogg gets an intercept try - very high risk pass from Cooper. Smith could easily have picked that off first if he had his hands up

Taps had a very strong match - possibly the best red in the first 60, but Lance has been an outstanding foil for Cooper since he came on
