Reds vs MP lineup

Reds vs MP lineup

Ooooh boy, now we're cooking with gas. Shame this squad couldn't be rolled out against Force. Hope the Reds don't have a drop in confidence and banana skin this game. I wonder if the lineout improves with Canham back. Don't understand why Muller has been dropped in think he played well enough last week to at least stay on the bench.

Very excited to see lipo at 12 I cant remember if hes ever played 12 before but I reckon hes going to tear it up.

Best player with the least on field success

Who's the best player to don the green and gold, who due to circumstances out of their control has not won much if anything of significance on the field. The best example I can think of is David Pocock, a generational talent that as far as I can tell only won the RC in 2015.

That's not to diminish any of his achievements but I just think its sad that you could be one of the best ever players in the world and not win much because its a team sport.

Incoming Wallabies coach faces scrutiny as Reds lodge ref complaint after loss

It will be interesting to see what the findings are from the refereeing review today. As atrocious as the refereeing was you can't lose 4 lineouts and expect to win important games. Whoever the Red's set piece coach is, they are stealing a wage at the moment and I think they're on borrowed time.

Every now and then I watch this game. I think its still regarded as one of the best games of rugby ever played. What I think is my favourite part about this game is that there is no human centipedes at the back of every ruck and barely any box kicks. Just glorious running rugby.

I think SR is on the right track about banning more players entering the ruck once the ref says use it, I think it needs to go a step further and just ban the human centipede completely, it looks ridiculous and is embarrassing to watch every time its done.

If a scrum half wants to do a box kick then they better be quick to the ruck and be prepared to be charged down by a giant lock.

Im not even too opposed to the box kick (even though Aus are shit at them) but I think for how tactically advantageous they are for some teams they should be harder to execute.

Lando and Gordon are back! Aiden Ross is having a rest and MDL is still strangely nowhere to be found except in club games playing 80 min
