Yeah I also don't know why Roelof got demoted. When he comes on, he usually brings a lot of energy to the tired pack. Maybe they want to give Steggies a run to see if he's up to scratch. It would be great if Steggies is on form as we need a fetcher to give our backline more ball.

Go Reds!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping my Reds can take the win.

I'm hoping my Reds can take the win.

If they play like they did last week, they certainly have a chance... When these 2 teams face off, it's usually a try-fest

 

[TRF_heineken]

Well, I didn't expect this win by such a convincing margin. It was yet again an entertaining game between these 2 teams and had a lot of great tries and a dropped goal by a forward. Liam Gill's drop goal was just brilliant. And he hit the ball so sweetly, it even curved in the air to sail through the sticks.

Glad for the win, and happy to see our forwards showing a but of grunt again. RG Snyman is slowly starting to become a real nuisance at ruck time.
