Thanks for the tip. A couple of the places we had thought around West End were closed tonight. We ended up at the Fox which had enough options. They do a vegan cauliflower parmigana I do not recommend.
Missed them. What were they?

Fantastic game to watch from a reds supporter point of view. Petaia was not good in the back three had a night to forget, Hodge is slow as fuck, Marika was quiet too thankfully as he is a handful even for the best defensive wingers. Speaking of Lomani had a great game stepping back in all night and making some of the best defensive readers look ordinary. I was worried about all the positional changes from the Reds but they played very well particularly in defence.

I think the main problem with ASY (Angus Scott-Young) is he seems to do a lot of not much........ sort of Ned Hanigan-lite, but at least Ned was a pretty good Super Rugby player.

Admittedly I’m quite pedantic with ASY (Angus Scott-Young), I think he’s a classic toiler that is overrated by Reds faithful - so I followed him quite closely tonight (for the first half).
- leading up to the Paisami intercept, he was switched off in a ruck and got blown away by Uelese for their turn over (which led to the Paisami intercept)
- Hosea beat him in the air on his own L/O
- ASY (Angus Scott-Young) got outrucked by Powell alone, not one for his highlights
- Hardwick gets a turnover in a ruck with ASY (Angus Scott-Young) there defending in effectively
- Cummins picks off ASY (Angus Scott-Young) for the 2nd time that night on his own L/O
All in one half!

Aha I’m a reds fan every day of the year except when they play the Rebels. I think this about ASY (Angus Scott-Young) even with my reds hat on.

Whilst I don’t disagree that Wright is easily ahead of ASY (Angus Scott-Young) on field per your earlier post, I think ASY (Angus Scott-Young) adds a lot of intangibles to the side. His effort is always 100% and a follow me attitude.
He doesn’t have to be the best, he’s a bit of a ‘glue guy’ as well by the looks. Does some cool shirts for the boys. They love him. He’s a good piece in the Red squads.

This is some pretty good bait! But after another good win I’m not sure you’ll get too many who bite.

ASY (Angus Scott-Young) gets through a heap of defence work. He has played his role in the Reds success this year.

I don't doubt that he's got a great engine and probably trains the house down, I just think he's ineffective. But it's a moot point because he's a fine Super player and I don't think anyone has seriously advocated higher honours for him.

The Powell omission from the Wallabies PONI squad is perplexing to me. As evidenced by his performance tonight where he was very varied and clever in attack and safe as houses in defence to the point where he absolutely nailed LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

Well done to the Rebels crowd, I don't know if STAN tweaked the sound but this is the first time I have thought a crowd actually got involved, we could actually hear booing.
It was a shame about the crap music blaring in stoppages, it must have been horrendous at the game.

I think some players were left out on purpose to motivate them to do things that Rennie wants them to do, they can still be selected for the Wallabies later in the season.

I reckon if he cut his hair he would be selected.
