Isn't Foley back for this game?

Interesting to see if he needs a game or two to hit his stride and show some of that RWC form he was in.

Reds looked better vs the Blues and showed an improvement vs the Rebels the week before, the shake up and change of management has done them good.

Tahs have a lot of passengers, dangerous game going to Brisbane as well with the Reds tail up, Tahs showed they've got some fight though with that 2nd performance vs the Landers. Should be a cracking game, will definitely tune in, gunna have to say the Tahs though, just got a bit more depth and quality.

Reds starting XV

Great to see Skelton dropped completely. Last week I said he was a huge passenger, offering absolutely nothing to the team. Good job Gibson for having the balls to do this. Skelton needs to go back to grass roots footy and find some aggression because he's an absolute massive pussy. Palu to be fair is past his expiry date and Holloway looks like the much needed breath of fresh air the Tahs need at 8.

What a try saving tackle by Nick Phipps!

 

[Jaguares]

If you mix the Reds tight-five with the rest of the Tahs team (backrow & backline). You will get a very competitive side who can win the competition

And if you mix the Saders pack with the Chiefs backline you get an unstoppable force.

7-5 To the Reds after 19 minutes, good game so far.

 

[Jaguares]

Try by Folau

What a run by Holloway! I love this kid

 

[Jaguares]

The first half was so intense. I hope that the second half be at least the 20% of the first

 

[0tago]

Folou is a fine athlete and player, just behind Ben Smith in the #15 rankings and soon Damo McKenzie.

 

[Southern Stag]

12-7 to the Waratahs at Halftime, it's been a hard game so far, and either team could win.

And if you mix the Saders pack with the Chiefs backline you get an unstoppable force.

And if you mix the Cheetahs pack with the Kings backline you get nothing but doesn't matter

12-7 to the Waratahs at Halftime, it's been a hard game so far, and either team could win.

The best game of the round so far

I can't stress how much the Tahs miss Polota-Nau. Their set pieces are just a shambles without him.

Silly from the Reds that scrum, funny though lol.

 

[Southern Stag]

Yellow card to Andrew ready, the Reds are now down to 14 men for the next 10 minutes.

 

[0tago]

Really dumb, why do that with an attacking scrum, infact why do that at all... complete idiot.
