SRAU RD 8 - Reds v Brumbies

dru

Sorry - that isn’t what I meant. Would prefer she was there too but she has family in Brisbane she is catching up with.

I should have said - Father/daughter time.

It did beg a question! :eek:

Paisami ruled out, Flook to start at outside centre instead... massive loss for the Reds, he has been the inform player in the backline.

Brumbies by 20

Who's KI? If it's meant to be Lenny Ikitau, then would be good to at least get the initials right. Very confusing to someone not so familiar with some of the players to just refer to them by their initials. No problem with MT for Matt To'omua for example as he's been known as that for years, but I'd rather Duagunu had his name in full rather than just FD (as another example).

Yes apologies using this forum on my phone is not the best medium, however why by your logic is it ok to refer to player's by their initials but not others? Seems like a petty post really.

No-one is likely to get To'omua's initials mixed up, and like I said he's been known as MT in rugby circles for a decade or more. Nobody I know calls Len Ikitau LI, let alone KI. And FD? Probably half the readers if they know him at all would think his name might start with P rather than F. But anyway, it is a pet peeve of mine, and only exacerbated when the wrong initials are used.

I wanna knock mauls but mainly because the Fkn Rebels can’t do it, they would’ve lost advantage. Brumbies are masters at generating maul penalties.

Simone already passing like Matt To'omua couldn’t last night.

Petaia has nailed two big tackles so far, good defender.
