Dick head is great for Australian rugby, well apart from Queensland.
Would have preferred the reds to beat the Brumbies for two reasons:
1) If the Reds had won, and we beat the Tahs, we'd have gone top of the Australian conference. As it is, we can't do better than 4th on the table as even if we end the weekend with more points than the Chiefs or Sharks, we can't move above them (OK, we'd need an 83 point swing to the Sharks anyway!)
2) If the Reds had beaten the Brumbies, Dick would have been in a better position to retain his job for next year - thereby screwing up the Reds for a second season!
I'm disappointed, I really wanted the Reds to win this, because it would have given us a safety net in case we couldn't manage 4 points tonight. I got real disinterested real early when it looked like the Reds hadn't learned anything from last week.
The good news, the Brums certainly didn't have an easier time of it than the Force, and arguably had to work harder for their three point victory than we did. I hope that means that week two was an aberration and we will be able to match it with them on the return bout.
If that's the case, then the Tahs (who have their own mental issues) are likely to treat us like the same team they trounced in round 1 and we might stun them the same way we beat the Chiefs.
Either way it's into the top three for one of us and out of the top six for the other (isn't it?)
The return bout against the Brumbs Gigs is the last game of the regular season! Could be all to play for!
Reds fans were all jeering Stephen Moore over the punch (which he rightly deserved). What a pack of bogan ferals! No concept of sportsmanship but then there's not been a very good example of sportsmanship shown by the Captain either!
Didn't take long for Plonker Graham to work his magic at Queensland, took a perfectly good team and turned them into perennial strugglers.
In this article, Horwill is quoted as saying "we never get any credit, ever, from anyone". What a gigantic wuss!!Quote:

Our coach and captain are true gentlemen of the game. Could not be more proud of them.
