Nathan Sharpe: Close is not good enough

I wonder how they will go with auctioning the guernseys?

[SNOB]

They will go OK because of Bam Bam just no one that has one will ever tell any one about the game! lot of 1's in that! One must be pissed!

A person who will remain nameless made a joke about that. He said thank god they had got over $10,000 before the game because there won't be much more coming in after that.

Hence my question.."surely by the time the reds roll around they'll be so overconfident they'll name Quade at prop, we might have a chance to sneak past them by playing 10 man football (that is, assuming we can find ten men who can play football)

Reds just beat the Stormers in Capetown and are top of the table.

I think they may be a genuine chance this year (without sounding cocky, I hope).

They genuinely seem to be able execute different gameplans, depending on the opposition.

I was a bit sceptical before but agree they are genuine contenders. The Samo selection was a good one by Link. Just added the extra thankless work off the ball to help Robinson out.
It would be a great story to see beau Robinson make the wallabies squad this year for RWC. IMO he has been the biggest difference since the REDS shakey start. Everybody loves a battler.

The reds showed everything that the Force lacked.. backed each other up in open play, dynamic in attack and Awesome in defence... Harris is playing himself into contention for a wallabies call up if he gets more game time.

[James]

I didn't catch the game, but I am really glad they beat the Stormers. If the Force can't win at least the Wallabies hopefully will. I am genuinely happy for the Reds.

Read my post again, I was hoping they'd walk up expecting not to have to ay (it's a tradition in Aussie teams) and be surprised by a bunch of gimps who adjusted their game plan just enough.........it's the only fuggin hope we've got of a home win this year, beyond that I've got jeez I hope we get within 30 of someone!
