[Makos]

Home coming for Moore, wonder if he can get one over on his old team? Should actually be quite an interesting contest. I have the Brumbies down as slight favourites.

 

[The Jones Boy]

With the Waratahs unlikely to win away at the 'Canes, this is a chance for either team to aim for the top spot.
If the Reds win then it opens up 4 places for the Kiwi teams, if the Brumbies win they will open up what may become an unassailable gap on the rest of the Aussie Conference.

Time to turn the sound off, the world's worst commentators about to waffle their way thru the Bush Ponies v Reds.

 

[galumay]

The Reds are absolute rubbish, the experiment of raiding the old peoples home has failed abjectly. Moore's days of being up to Super Rugby standard are long gone, as are Smiths. Simmons and Douglas dont add much either.

It was like a training run for the Bush Ponies, they would have got more competition from a NRC side.
