If Taniela Tupou gets a big ban for fighting this it will spell danger for the Reds Season.
Also anyone know if it’s a SANZAAR Ban from all rugby or just Super Rugby. IE could this affect Wallabies Games if SANZAAR get really upset

Yes a ban is a ban, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

would it include club rugby availability during a bye week? Is the ban by weeks or matches?

Surely Thorn is talking to Brothers about running 2-4 mid week trials.

So aside from Bell and Holloway, I think all the changes are forced.
Bell could use a quieter game. I'm surprised he is playing this week. He's played a lot of minutes and looked in a fair bit of trouble with his back last Saturday at half time when he didn't return to the field.
Tahs should welcome back a few reinforcements next week.

Ok well he isn’t injured either

Gee we've gone lightweight! A backrower at lock, two sevens. Add to that we're starting without the form prop of Aus rugby (and yes, I agree he's played a lot of minutes and needs a rest), and if the Reds pack can't boss them they need to have a good hard look at themselves.
In the backs (where we are also missing the top line-breaker in Super rugby Aus), here's a chance for Edmed to show his wares, and Roberts to prove that he's still got it.
Bloody tough one for the Tahs, name your own price I think.

Tahs are definitely underdogs but I won’t discount them.. ..

DC has lots of credit in the bank for what he has done this season, so I will have faith.
but that’s a long way from our best 23 against what is very close to the best the reds can bring.

Tahs have nothing to lose and won’t expect to win this one. All pressure is on the Reds to win well ... a two horse race so anything is possible!

Thorn and the coaching co continue to put together a solid team each week, at the same time of knowing when to bring through developing players to get game minutes. Injuries will also play a part and the team on Monday probably changes by game day. Shout out to Thorn for his professional player management.
It hasn’t been a great strength of the Reds though

I don’t have the stats, but since Uru took over I feel things have improved substantially. Still getting crooked throws but defensively very good.
