'Let's go!' Wilson chargedown, brutal Tim Ryan try lift Reds to hoodoo-breaking win over Crusaders
A win 25 years in the making. The Reds' last victory over the Crusaders in Christchurch came in 1999 - and they celebrated hard…
Former Wallabies fullback Chris Latham will reportedly run out for Queensland at the Brisbane Global Tens – eight years after he last donned the maroon jumper.
The 41-year-old will be unveiled as the team’s wildcard selection for the February tournament, News Corp Australia reports.
A crowd favourite over his 12 seasons at the Reds, the 2006 John Eales Medal winner hasn’t played since his career ended in Japan in 2012.
But Latham believes his backs coaching job with the Top League’s NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes will leave him in good stead.
“There are some steppy, fast wingers at my Japanese club so I’ll get them to do some one-on-ones with me because I don’t want to let anyone down at the Reds,” Latham, who played 78 Tests for Australia, told News Corp.
Retired code-hopping star Lote Tuqiri is also expected to join NSW for the inaugural edition of the pre-Super Rugby tournament.
The duo will come against some of rugby biggest names when 14 clubs from around the world descend on Suncorp Stadium for the two-day, 10-a-side carnival.
Ten Australian and New Zealand Super Rugby franchises will be involved, as well as South Africa’s Blue Bulls, Japan’s Panasonic Wild Knights, the Samoan national team and French glamour club Toulon.

This try put the Crusaders back in the game and set up a blockbuster finish in Christchurch. Was the right call made?
The Crusaders were on the surge in the second half, but some sloppy play cost them on these occasions.
Woof, woof. The Reds second-gamer finished off a sensational team try to double Queensland's lead over the Crusaders with the away side leading 14-7…
It's anyone's guess why the game is criticised as being too slow... Leigh Halfpenny lost his contact lens and Brodie McAlister received some attention…
David Havili might owe Levi Aumua an apology for this one!
