Taking points in Africa is always a bonus so well done Tahs. Gordon looked like a live wire in the highlights.

I’m sure he’s putting in the hard yards to demonstrate that he is developing the right attitude. The two hookers in the squad seem to be going okay, so maybe Thorn is ‘testing’ Ready’s resolve whilst he has options. No doubt he will work his way back.

A few more thoughts on last night: 1. Brumbies missing the likes of Smiler and Butler 2. CFS was good for the second week in a row. 3. A brave call to replace Paia’aua so early with Daugunu. What was the logic? 4. Nabuli really needs to work on his handling.

Very strange and very poor.

Brumbies will be devastated by that game. Two tries to nil, held up a couple of times, no score off the rolling maul, not one successful kick at goal.. nothing like the form shown last year. Thought Goodwin was their best, along with Powell. Backrowers were also not bad. Ugly win from the Reds...

I hope he does get the ball a lot in broken play. Trying to tackle those tree trunk kegs comin at speed will be a challenge for the best of defenders

So if Dom Shipperley has been cut loose by the Rebels he might be a good option to boost the outside backs stocks?

Okay so no bridge for you LB, fair enough.

I’m a Quade fan always have been as he does things no one else is capable of. He can be frustrating when he’s off but when he’s on song he’s incomparable. I also think his off field behavior has been good this last few years. If however, he throws the coaches game plan out the window when he...

Brumbies will be deserved favorites going in but a good game for a few of the Reds to stand up and be counted. Douglas has been much maligned but will get his chance to start and put his doubters back in the box. The props will get a good gauge on just how good they are, and we’ll all get to see...

That Rebels back line will be the bomb by the end of the season. Genia was head and shoulders the MOM and Maddocks is one to keep an eye on for sure.

It's almost as if you wrote this critique before the game started. Lance was not truly awful, there was bugger all kicking from Toua, no mention of the good game by CFS, scrum started well but we're under pressure a few times, and Douglas wasn't so shite not to be in the 23. Sure there a couple...

Opportunities to be smug haven’t presented to Rebels supporters often so enjoy.

That was actually a brave effort from the Reds tonight. Lose your skipper after 10, and then have another in the bin at a the same time. Tremendous effort not to be totally smashed. Very brave if you ask me.

Contest done. Brave first half from the Reds but this may get messy.

The Rebels trio would be ahead of the Brumbies backrow right now.

An very strong side who will start as clear favorites. Reds scrum will be in he key to how close this is.

There should be a Predictions thread to allow us to come back and see how right or wrong we got. I think Reds will finish ahead of the Sunwolves. Rebels look great on paper but may take time to gel, Brumbies will be honest every game and get more bonus points than the others, but if the Tahs...

Maybe Teti Tela at 23?
