Didn’t see the game but looks like the Tahs stuck in and showed plenty of character. Good stuff. Harrison deserves some luck other than the bad over the last couple of years.

He jinxed us so I’m blaming him. 🙂

'Brain explosion': Wallaby stars sent off as Queensland left red-faced in Moana Pasifika shocker

Lost to the worst two teams in the comp, two key players will be out for a few weeks and Flook probably out for the season. Train wreck of a game that’s probably blown the Reds season.

Good score by the Force. He’ll push Horton as well who needs to take his game to another level, he’s not the player he could be.

Huge coup sees Wallabies hooker coming home to Super Rugby on long-term deal, with World Cup in sights

The Reds are full strength in the tight 5 with Toomaga-Allen and Blyth back. I can see the Reds winning the set piece battle and getting plenty of quick ball. Reds to get away in the second half with the pace of the game.

Mafi was very lucky not to have his front of his head caved in, agree makes no sense they aren’t officiating on the players actions only the outcome that he didn’t seriously hurt Mafi. Crazy thinking by the judiciary. He should have been gone for the rest of the season.

Rugby News: Beale 'laser focused' on Wallabies return, coach fury at ban for 'malicious' headbutt

Every team does it so folk trying to justify these actions because the ref didn’t penalise the cleanout is rubbish. There’s been fewer penalties this year in attempt to reduce the stoppages and promote a more entertaining game for the fans. The refs are doing as they have been instructed, there’s no conspiracy againt the Drua. That’s just BS.

One thing is for sure that teams will target these two and bait them. The Drua need to sort their discipline as they’re getting a reputation for ill discpline and playing the victim will fall on deaf ears with refs. Every team will be niggling them.

Lomani gets huge discount on ban for shocking elbow after guilty plea, teammate has penalty halved

Protecting the guilty rather than player welfare.

Did as I was told and went to the other side. 😁

I use to get called white and the c all the time. Both pretty accurate so I was never bothered. 😁

He got off easy in my opinion. That was a dog act and he deserved to be told.

Yeah he was bent going in for a tackle. Head contact but not deliberate or any malice. They want to drive tackling standards okay but these two actions were deliberate acts of assaults. The headbutt was a brutal attempt to seriously hurt and Lomani’s was a cowardly elbow to the back of the head of a vulnerable player. Both should be out for the season.

No statements of apology from Drua. Hypocrites.

Lomani’s elbow was just cowardly and excessive. 4 weeks off for admitting, we could all see what happened. There should have been no discount and if he didn’t plead guilty it should have been longer than 10. So stupid this decision. He elbowed a vulnerable guy in the back of the head causing 20 stitches. A bit lower and this may have been fatal. This needs to be reviewed, he should be gone for the season.

Hodgman and Blyth back for the Reds, that’s a quality tight 5 starting and finishing. These guys should lay a good platform at set piece, gainline and breakdown.

Wow ridiculously low penalties for deliberate acts. Terrible decisions.

Bristol have said it will be included if you are a season ticket holder so should get a reasonable crowd hopefully.

'I'm a big fan': Kiss throws weight behind Club World Cup as Europe and Super Rugby agree to new tournament

Reds also just announced two matches in Europe in 2025, one against Bristol Bears. Will need to get a trip to England planned.

Feet and lower leg bone injuries can be difficult and take time to mend. Hopefully the last operation hasn’t stuffed things.

'Needs to be considered': Bell out of Super Rugby season as ex-Wallaby suggests left-field positional switch

That’s tough. So talented the big fella. Rodda is in a similar position, if only their bodies could hold up.

He didn’t clean him out with any force, he grabbed his leg a bit and pushed him backwards a little. Lomani needed to milk it like any other quality 9. Refs would normally ping that but if not you can’t be assaulting another player because they slowed you down.

He was on the ground and played the 9.

Lomani is an international 9, he should have milked that for all it was worth and won a penalty, but he assaulted another player and lost his team any chance of winning and probably out for the season.

Pretty sure the fan is South African and was only speaking Afrikaans.

Drua 'shocked at racial abuse' as Lomani faces judiciary over Canham blow

Josh Canham required 20 stitches, where is the apology from Lomani and the Fijian Drua. You can’t condone racial slurs but seriously his feelings are hurt after he elbowed a person in the head with significant force splitting his head open and requiring 20 stitches. No apology for his action then no sympathy for his hurt feelings. Poor Frank. That was a low low dog act and he didn’t act like a quality human would.
