Hoping the Reds manage to pull off the bonus point win here, as I have a bit of money on them making it into the playoffs. Getting 5 points won't guarantee them a playoff spot, but they would get in if either the Bulls or Sharks failed to secure 5 points, the Crusaders lost, or the Brumbies failed to secure any points....

Hmm, that looks like the best Tahs side I've seen all year, a lot depends on how Foley plays but they're not without a chance in this

They could go one better and drop tom carter completely.

Growden is a knob, it will be lucky if theres a 4 point difference either way. Weather has been dry here so far today so fingers crossed it stays this way (I doubt it) so we can see the reds open up a bit, but if history is anything to go by it will be a hard slog and possibly quite sloppy stuff. I'll be ambitious and say reds by 17 getting the 4 try BP

Reds off to a strong start, Tahs look a little flatfooted.

Reds score again - looks like they are in the playoffs, while the Brumbies are most likely gone.....

And the Hurricanes . We'd need both the Sharks and Bulls to lose against the Cheetahs and Lions.

There's something about drop goals that makes me feel all giddy and excited whenever someone lands a successful one.
