<p>Really? The Reds are last in their group. They have the second worst points differential and are the worst attacking side thus far.</p>

<p>I am aware of the relative table positions of the team.  However I have watched all of both teams performances and the Reds are on the up and the Highlanders are not.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reds have a very strong scrum and they aren't afraid to scrum for PK's over and over.  Highlanders are also missing two of their key players in Ben Smith and Elliott Dixon.  Plus we never seem to win in Brisbane (it has been over a decade since our last win there).  </p>

<p>would say the Reds on the 'up' is still well below the Highlanders current mark.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the Reds will have to play out of thier skins to win.</p>

<p>"With out pair"</p>
<p>I hate listening to these bellends</p>

[Siam]

<p>C'mon boys, out muscle the banana skin!</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>Bloody good try by the Reds</p>

[No Quarter]

Super slow mo of Aaron Smith stepping. Comms: "Look at Sopoaga...".

[Damo]

<p>This Faddes guy is something isn't he?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been good the last couple of weeks on the wing, and now filling in for Ben Smith he is looking great.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can feel a plucky loss coming on here.  </p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>another good try to the reds,</p>

[No Quarter]

Looked about a foot forward to me but what would I know.

What's the fucking point of having a TMO? Really?<br><br>
Clearly forward out of the hands.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>We seem to be falling off a lot of tackles.</p>

[Bones]

Whitelock is playing much better but still doesn't really fit the highlanders game plan - at least not in the wide channels. Twice now they've had a positive looking attack and he's been found out wide and tucked the ball with no thought other than taking the tackle and going to ground.

[Unite]

Good kick that one

[Bones]

Osborne is having an absolute shitter on defence.

[antipodean]

How the hell is that play on? Every other ref on earth gives that as a lazy running penalty.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>Hometown Jackson needs to read the offside rule</p>

Hah I was just going to say exactly those words. Ignore the 3 offside guys on that play and award the penalty to the reds.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>fuck off glen</p>

[Tordah]

<p>what the fuck was Jackson doing there, embarassing refereeing</p>
