IMO, a deliberate attempt at causing a game ending injury. Red card

McMeniman suspended for crucial clash

Higgs was kept quiet too.

Reds roll Rebels in Super style 36-20

Non-specific KPIs
1. composure – leads to more good decisions
2. consistency – individually and teamwise
3. confidence – again individually and of the others in the team. Trust them.

I have long held the opinion that many/most kicks should be into the contestable area. I fail to see anything positive in booting kick-offs so far downfield that they are uncontestable. It’s free possession for the opposition with time to do what they want.

The key KPIs for a Wallabies clean sweep

PeterK, 50 years ago an ex girlfriend said almost exactly the same thing.

Wallabies defend dour victory

IMHO, one of Ewen’s main strengths is his ability to change game plans according to the opposition, which he did so well in 2011

McKenzie has the opportunity to take Macqueen's mantle

We must find ways to create more space for attacking rugby.
Easy, keep the fowards inside x metres of the “site of activity”. Don’t let them loitre in the centre, or wings.

Fans to vote on law variations for the National Rugby Championship

This is the worst the Reds have been since Eddie.

It beats me why two of the worst coaches in Aus were even considered, never mind employed/

Kiwi guns test Reds' Super Rugby defence

Ads “And to add to that he wasn’t correct. Hands in the face is a card. There was no gouging which meant no additional suspension”

Wrong, he was carded for gouging, not hands on the face!

James Horwill to face disciplinary action from SANZAR

Reds haters are alive and well.

Fainga'a twins: We want to play together

I don’t see why he should be punished for expressing an opinion which turned out to be correct in the end, by SANZAR’s exhoneration of Ed O’D.
Totally justified comment.

James Horwill to face disciplinary action from SANZAR

I like the idea of in depth explanation(s) of the laws.

Maybe also some explanations (with examples) of the dark art of scrum play.

Another one could be tactics. Why a long kick off that can’t be contested Vs the short one which can, and the advatages/disadvantage of each.

How to make a rugby TV show interesting

Beale’s ego is still too big.

Quade: I'll be back for the Rugby Championship

Lack of tackling? You haven’t been watching closely enough!

Quade: I'll be back for the Rugby Championship

One wrong word there Fin – it should have been ON the eyes, not in, as you would have seen if you viewed any replays frame by frame.

Emotional Horwill shows rugby a new opportunity

Isn’t Horwill allowed to express his opinion then?
Agree, it was a farce that only O’D was looked at, and changed the end result.
The Reds may not have won if play had gone on, but they wouldn’t have been robbed..

Reds lock cleared of gouging

If you watch it as near frame by frame as you can get, you will see that there was no finger pressure on Higg’s eyes. Plus what about Higg’s hand on O’D’s face.
Pretty close to the eyes as far as I could see.

Reds eye Super Rugby wooden-spoon

Looking at the O’D/Higgs incident as near frame by frame as I could get, there was no finger pressure on Higgs eys, and probably no more than one finger on an eye lid.
Nothing has been said about Higg’s hand/fingers on O’D’s face.

I thought that Lucas did pretty well considering his lack of game time.

Can’t understand how the defence can go from what it was last year to the powder puff it is now.

Quade injured in Reds' loss to Rebels

Folau’s only two good plays are under a high ball, and running support lines near the try-line.

Quade injured in Reds' loss to Rebels

Daws, the quotes show that it was all about his ego!

Beale: Play me and Folau for the Wallabies

Hoy, agreed. We got hammered at the begining, and it taught us to play as a team, not as 15 individual players.

Should youth rugby be competitive or participation focussed?

T E C “I would only put Folau ahead of him in the Wallabies”

IMO, Falau’s only good under a high ball, and running support lines. That leaves a lot of gaps in his game.

Are we ready for the third coming of JOC?

” Just throw some sand into the wind”

Something more liquid than sand? 🙂

Are we ready for the third coming of JOC?

+100%

Richard Graham shouldn't be the only red-faced Red

Harris kicked from behing the entire team, then didn’t (or couldn’t) follow up to put them onside. Hence no chase.

Cooper needs to attack the gain line for Reds to improve

Taps should be at 12 all the time. JOC outside him

Reds boss backs Graham as James O'Connor looms
