Don’t apologise BG, boys club is apt. Hard to get membership & you need to be member to get entry.
Test Mortem: Epic comeback win but cracks remain in line-up, Shield form has to count for something, Pat should bat higher
I found that hard to believe, why didn’t he just admit that he wanted to get the win as fast as possible?
Carey the clutch king: Gloveman's stunning 98, Cummins heroics keep Kiwi curse alive in thrilling comeback win
True, but what else is the guy going to say. He wasn’t going to bag the skipper in that moment, he was just happy to get the win after his big effort. I bet in a week’s time he will wish he had got the ton.
'You want a century in a run chase, you get it before Cummins arrives': The Liebke Report Card
That’s BS by Cummins, he would’ve been looking at the scoreboard after every run.
Carey the clutch king: Gloveman's stunning 98, Cummins heroics keep Kiwi curse alive in thrilling comeback win
Can’t believe Cummins didn’t know that Carey was on 98. I think it was poor form by the skipper with two wickets still in hand not to let him get his century. At least give him the next over to try to do it. It wasn’t as if they were bogged down, struggling for runs. Give the guy just rewards for his effort in getting Oz the win after the pathetic display of the top order.
'You want a century in a run chase, you get it before Cummins arrives': The Liebke Report Card
Pathetic from the top order, yet again, selectors will do nothing, yet again.
Also, Khawaja needs to grow a set to tell Smith when not to review when it’s plumb, that’s two reviews in a row he’s burned. Will it come back to bite them?

One was a low act, the other more accidental, I don’t know how much lower Red#1 could have gone to avoid the head clash, his head was already lower than his hips I think.
'Over the moon': Reds deny Chiefs for 23 PHASES to win 'titanic' trans-Tasman clash as Kiss' revolution continues
Great news. Just a pity for both teams that it’s at the end of their tour as it doesn’t let the selectors to use it as a trial game for higher honours. Hopefully Schmidt will let any marginal Qlders in the Wallaby squad go & play.
'A wonderful initiative': 33-year first as Wales to take on Queensland Reds in 'nod to traditional tours'
So happy for the Reds after that ‘loss’ last week.
Normally a BO’K fan but he had a shocker last night. Apart from his ‘nothing to see here’ with Finau’s late hit on Lynagh (where was the TMO here on this one- isn’t it their job to look at foul play off the ball?), his breakdown management was a free for all.
Players from both sides coming in from the side. When is it okay for a support player standing to the side of where a tackle is made, to then decide to latch on to form a ruck, coming through the gate seemed to be an option with BO’K?? One of the worst culprits was #7 for the Chiefs.
Anyway, still prefer him over most of the other whistle-blowers running around, hopefully he just had a bad night.

Agree Ben.
'Let's see what the worst thing about rugby league is and do that': Loathsome blight union never needed
Yep, Renshaw deserves a shot at opening, move Smith back to #3. Ideal chance to give the guy some more test experience & to see how he handles the green top. Can’t be any worse than Marnus.
Green shoots Aussies to big lead, but Smith's duck and Marnus' all time low give Kiwis a glimmer of hope
Too risky for the ultra conservative Australian brains trust to enforce the follow on.

Yawn, yet again the selectors not playing horses for courses. Protecting the jobs for your mates.
I can see us getting rolled at least once for under a hundred in one of our innings with that line up.
Aussies lock in XI for first NZ Test as Cummins mulls big toss call
That’s a shame about Wagner not being picked. He’s one fellow that can give it to the Aussies. He’s so competitive & would get under the skin of some of the more precious Aussies.
Kiwis lose key man ahead of Australia Test clash
That was embarrassing from Van Egmond, two point blank opportunities. Even if she’s not normally a striker her reaction time is too slow, even when she’s back up field she turns possession over too easily. Time to put her out to pasture.

I’d say it was cynical, Max J decided to leap into the tackle well before JP was any where near the ball. So he was just relieing on luck that his timing of contact was right. He didn’t – so bad luck. Cop the consequences.
'Tough call': Reds too good for Tahs in cracking Aussie derby, as controversial penalty try, yellow to Jorgo proves telling
Yes agree, Tahs weren’t as bad as the scoreline suggests. Both teams very physical & Tahs were very good at the breakdown, though did get a couple of freebies from Doleman.

Like that batting order. As Inglis in that first T20 nearly lost the game for us with his “slow” batting, thankfully David pulled the rabbit out of the hat.
True on Smith, T20 batsmen need to be able to score more than a run a ball these days.
'Thought we were about 50 short': Bowlers blitz Black Caps as Zampa takes four, Wade plucks stunner
So true BF on Jock’s decision making being better & his linking up with others on the return, but is that because JP hasn’t played as much in this position?
Yeah, I meant JP was more dangerous in attacking a straight line of defence. He’s a bigger bloke, seems awkward to tackle & can get an arm free for an off load (though sometimes needs better decisions making here to when to hold onto it).
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Jock’s as well.

It’s good to see Tate in an after match interview not being guttered, poor fellow earnt it. Hope there’s more to come this year.

Jordie Petaia just lost possession twice in the ruck, mainly due to Perese not releasing in the tackle, very unlucky for him the ref didn’t see it. I’d give him more of a chance at fullback as he offers X factor on his returns but Jock does as well, so I don’t know?? Though, he is more dangerous taking the ball to the line which is an advantage in this day of in-your face defence.

Inglis is hanging by a thread. He better deliver in the last game or does someone like Short needs a decent crack at 5?

Sutherland didn’t help Healy much with hogging the strike when she was in her 80-90’s.
Great batting by both Healy & Mooney, just a pity they got out with some poor shots, maybe it was the heat??
Heartbreak for Healy as she matches Mitch's 99 in Australia's day of dominance over Proteas
Yep, a very sharp catch. It was in his hand before he realised it.

Late tackles such as this can be deemed as deliberate foul play, cardable offence any day of the week.
To compare this to the “Reds prop head butt” is wrong. Sef’s head was as low as his hips, getting into a good tackle position & it was accidental that white #7’s head came this low. Not sure what else Sef could’ve done here whereas Finau had all the time in the world to pull out of his tackle. It looked like he had one mission ,take out the #10.
