Reds have all their superstars back this week except for Simmons. Hunt on the bench. Rebels unnamed at this point in time.

I'm planning on going providing this sore throat goes away. The Rebels better win, no excuses, there was almost a riot after losing to the Lions.

I agree, after the disappointing last match, they'd better win again.

Thanks, I've only just really started using my twitter account ... mainly so I can get the scoop for my fantasy teams.

... Is this the week the Reds start to right "the good ship Richard Graham" ... maybe they should ally themselves with the coastguard, like the Blues (http://theblues.co.nz/News/2015-4-1/Blues-and-Coastguard-team-up.aspx)

Horwill may be the stupidest player in SR, Reds and Aus will be better off without him.

Congrats on the win tonight, although Higginbothom did not sound pleased in the interview haha.

I only caught the tail end of the match. What was Horwill sent off for? If it's serious enough to be a red then obviously a citation next week?

Swinging arm to the head, at a ruck.

Horwill is a guy who seems have have got dumber. He enters every game like he has a chip on his shoulder, and he just can't believe how unlucky and unfair it is that he is James Horwill.

Good win for the Rebels, just what they needed

Indeed, too bad the try wasn't given. We could have used that bonus point.

Why are the Reds underperforming this season? I know they had some injuries but they still have a solid squad.

Awful attitude and poor coach.

See that is where your wrong I would argue they've been overachieving.... particularly in 2011.


Even the super rugby genius that is Adam Thompson cant seem to save them....

I feel so bad for Thompson he is so far above this Reds team, gives his all every week.
