Re: Wallabies 2025: Revenge of the Schmidt

It was a pretty weak Reds team though. I’d have expected that Reds team to get rolled by a similar score by the Crusaders or similar too. What is good to see is both the Reds and the Force games were close at half time before the Lions ran away with it. The Wobs won’t fall off the cliff depth wise ...

Re: Wallabies 2025: Revenge of the Schmidt

Looking like the worst Lions tour for local sides based on that score/effort, Reds have never been so badly beat, Tahs will get smashed this week, Brumbies as usual the only hope of a win outside the tests.
I'll reserve our chances after this Sunday on those.

Re: Official Los Pumas England 1st Test - 5/7/25

Very green looking England squad. They'll be hard pressed to get a win. LP squad is actually quite weakened too, at least 10/15 usual squad members rested or injured... should be decent games, but your scrum and halves could give your guys an edge. I think its an insulting fixture for Pumas, you be...
