Just kicked off

antipodean

Six minutes into the game and we've had a kick-off, a scrum and someone kicked to touch. Riveting from the two super powers of Australian rugby.

Still 7 all after 25mins. Reds defence impressive, but seems to be made easier y the inability of the Tahs to find a soft shoulder to run at.

Anyone who wants to know why the Wallabies are incapable of winning back the Bledisloe should watch the 29th minute of this fixture. Cue yakety sax to accompany it.

56 mins in and we have a third try as the Tahs shove a maul over the line. A try that shouldn't stand because the hooker joined in front of the last feet - not that that particular law is ever enforced.

Duluth

That was better. A quality break by the Reds fullback

Tim

@Duluth Yeah, much more enjoyable execution.

Tim

Great try, but defense must be very tired for the game to open up like that. Are the Tahs going to get spanked in the 2nd half of every game this year?

Duluth

Good Reds try

Shitty game has been fun for the last few minutes

Tim

Was that a great finish?

Touch in goal. Pity they checked because that looked superb.

This game has been much better in the final quarter.

antipodean

26 - 17

Tahs are dreadful.

Less Kiss coached Wallabies aren't going to be much better.
