JOC being reported as out injured with Hegarty to take his place and Stuart at 15 eek Blues by plenty. With Jock injured I would have been ok with an all Fijian back three with Daugunu at 15.

Super Rugby Trans-Tasman Round 4 teams: Waratahs smashed by injury ahead of Highlanders clash

The Lynagh boy is on the books from 2022 but he will need some time, but looks pretty good. We lost out when Lucan left that’s for sure although he looks more a 15 then a 10. Gordon was to be the understudy but once again Qld got piconed on that one.

O'Connor re-signs with Reds and Wallabies until 2023

I have just.read through all of the comments on this thread and I’m baffled as to how anyone could think that Berry was favouring either side. I was at the game watching through red tinted glasses I have to say but that first half I thought the Reds were on the end of some Berry Crocker’s. The no try one of them, but I can’t believe of all the things that were commented on about missed or otherwise by the ref Was the blantent foul play by Frost (I think it was apologies if not) who well after the whistle not only tackles McReight but does it with no arms. To the whole crowds astonishment nothing happens that’s about as worthy of a card and Wright judo throw tackle. As I said red tinted glasses though.

Super Rugby thriller! Last-ditch James O'Connor try hands Reds the Super Rugby AU title

Valentini would top that list, but Hunter is in the top 3 and leading the backs for the season for sure.

Reds dealt massive blow with star to miss Super Rugby AU final

For his slender frame he hits hard in defence also his defensive timing is much like Petaia.

Super Rugby AU Round 10 teams: Force get major boost for must-win match

Your trying to solve a national problem that the Reds don’t have, we have 2 decent Fullbacks in Campbell and Hegarty we also have Creighton close to a bench spot also. Although Henry didn’t hurt his credentials in the Wests game over the weekend his not really a true fullback more of a 12 but his goal kicking is a bonus.

Wells has been playing well and he is one of the quickest #8’s getting around, but that’s hardly a reason to attack Harry Wilson. He has been playing very well this year just been asked to perform a different role he and Valentini will be 6&8 for the wallabies this year no doubt.

I thought Carter was signed until 2022?

Super Rugby AU Round 10 teams: Force get major boost for must-win match

Yeah groin injury Hegarty has played well but I’d be surprised if Campbell isn’t first choice 15. I wonder what the Reds will do once Vunivalu is available for selection again Petaia is the odd one out only one of Campbell,Stuart or Hegarty can play and none of them deserve to be dropped.

Super Rugby AU Round 10 teams: Force get major boost for must-win match

Very happy to see Carter Gordon get a bench spot, he was very good in his appearance in the hospital cup last weekend. Thumping boot on the kid and always looks to get involved more then once in a play, not a shovelling 10 like To’omua.

Super Rugby AU Round 10 teams: Force get major boost for must-win match

Disappointed not to see Carter Gordon get a game, glad to see they haven’t rushed back DHP. Not too sure what to make of the Donaldson/Edmed selection issue/non-issue is the Donaldson kid any good I haven’t seen much of him? Great to Pasitoa getting some time via the bench, also I’m interested to see what Valentini looks like at 8. Maybe that call has come out of the Wallaby camp? Good that Kuenzle is also getting some game time.

Super Rugby AU Round 9 teams: Swinton back for Tahs' trip to the west

Is MT available for this clash?

Brumbies want win ahead of Super finals

If only they had someone of incredible talent who could play 10 for them oh I see you only signed Carter Gordon so the Reds couldn’t have well played Rebels well played.

Matt Toomua a priority signing for Rebels

He is 4 now but I think 3 of those came in the Rebels game after half time.

Reds-Brumbies has become 'the' modern-day Australian rugby rivalry

Mafi is the leading try scorer for Super Rugby AU, so I dare say the Reds may have scored a few from Maul’s this year.

Ilaisa Droasese is also there soooo much talent waiting in the wings, yep I see what I did there.

Vunivalu eyes return to stake Wallaby case

This will be Petaia to win with Tom Wright claiming the other one

Vunivalu eyes return to stake Wallaby case

Haven’t you heard Jez, he is coming to the Reds. 😛

Reds-Brumbies has become 'the' modern-day Australian rugby rivalry

Yeah agreed Lolesio out last year is when the Brumbies lost their shape.

Get your questions in for Issue 8 of Coach's Corner

Yeah I’ve liked Pincus so far at fullback I didn’t realise he was already 29 otherwise I’d be pumping his tyres for wallaby 15 in a few years.

Haylett-Petty may cover Rebels' Hodge

Yeah as above just playing devils advocate.

Force eye off bonus points for finals bid

Yeah I know devils advocate and all.

Be good to see DHP back on the field

Haylett-Petty may cover Rebels' Hodge

I could see the possibility of the Reds being a little flat after that Brumbies game they could def look at a bonus point loss or maybe even a sneaky win. The Tahs are still an unknown will they back up that previous performance the had agaisnt the Brumbies or will they revert back to type now that coach sacking emotion has been tapped out. I could see the Tahs rolling both and trying to sneak into the finals themselves, no one has stated that they are the only team that doesn’t have to play one of the top 2 to get into the finals.

Force eye off bonus points for finals bid

I don’t think the Brumbies look any less of a team this over last infact I think they look to have improved, specially in the backline. I think the Red’s have just clicked more this year and have had a higher improvement over last year.
