Starting now

Reds have won 7 of the last 8 matches between the two sides

Tahs have started well. Willing defence owning the ad line, followed by some strong carries and they score the first try.

7 - 0

No penalty for the lift?

Ok they got it

Big Joseph could be gone for the Lions series. Could be a broken jaw? Hopefully just knocked out and nothing more serious.

Being stretchered off nevertheless.

@Canes4life That is really disappointing. Was look forward to watching him against the Lions.

Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looks.

How is this guy a professional ref? Hopeless

Never seen a referee be so influenced by players comments

This is a great game of rugby for the neutral

Taniela Tupou predictably loses a game for the Tahs with another useless defensive effort.

@antipodean give it a rest

He was excellent tonight. Ref refused to reward his dominance at set piece.

I give up on the scrum rules the tahs every right to be pissed at Doleman , no reward for a dominant scrum

@Tanifulla

Gleeson loses/drops the ball a lot.

It's always a lottery with Doleman.

Great result for the Blues.

Doleman rewarded his head high effort and the Reds took advantage. He's a liability.

You can see Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's collision here. Went into the tackle and his head collided with his own player's knee. Looked like impact was with his jaw.
