Not bad for a bloke who had a bit of a stumble earlier in his career.

7-7 after 23mins
Lonergan about to be stretchered off with a leg injury. The tackle from McDermott was interesting, got hands on him then sort of tripped him
Ankle not meant to face that way.
Hopefully just dislocated with no breaks

Where’s SBW gone? Has he been dropped by STAN?

About time the Brumbies' cynical play was dealt with.

That's good work from BOK - quit fucking around with three or four penalties for the same offence. Give the points, hand out the card, and get on with the game

Well watched the 2nd half this morning, geez I enjoyed that game . If anyone but Noah Lolsesio is at 10 for Wallabies this year I will be surprised, he is playing good rugby, as is whole Brumbies' team. They certainly know how to play their game, and this is a good Reds team as well.
