A bit of a weird one isn't it - in all likelihood a dress rehearsal before the quarterfinal next week between the same two teams.
I thought Reds might rest Tate but they are obviously still eyeing an upset to try and jump up the ladder.
I'm not sure it's in Thorns head the idea of freshening up players.
-
Perhaps Thorn thinks they'd have better luck making the semis against the Brumbies or Chiefs? They can't get into the top four and the way they've been playing this year, they can't play for 80mins anyway.

Israel Dagg seems to have stolen Kevin Barry's hairpiece.

Best SH ref with this fixture. Reds really want to grab a bonus point from this at the very least. Crusaders to secure home semi. All to play for.

Bonus point to Reds would not make any difference to them. Would put them on 36 points. Two teams either side are Tahs on 37 and Clan on 22.

Bridge, Havili & Ennor combined really well there to put Jordan in

Yep - I was looking at the Tahs' points.
Meanwhile the Reds get a 50:22 from an aimless Havili kick.

And also, does not seem very likely.

The laws should be amended so if a halfback mistakes himself for an enforcer you can give them a good smacking.

The state of jerseys these days.
The reds are called blue.
Having trouble handling that to Bones, as well as Brad Thorn coached team is avoiding taking the ball into contact, and playing way behind advantage line!!
