I hate to kick a guy who needs the gig, but Nabuli is proper gash

Oh well, never mind.

Even the Reds reserve props are decent.

Jean-Pierre wins the pen

Look at Jono putting his body on the line.

Jessie Kriel is so shit he wouldn't make the Stomps bench.

Score please?

Reds scrum still has work to do on their own ball.

Well done Reds!

Reds 20-14 final

Damn. So impressed with the Reds against a quality Bulls outfit.

Good character there from the Reds at the end.

Brilliant win! Couldn't watch the last min there.

Massive from TT, Rodda, Kerevi and Toua.

These boys are very fit.

Well done, Reds. Another close gutsy win.

Kerevi defended well at 12 - less space for him to get exposed in.

fudge me. Bulls still so mentally weak. No way in hell they should lose to that Reds team.

Close game actually

Reds at home managed to hold the Bulls out

Nice one I know the Bulls aren't one of the elite teams, but it's still pleasing that the Reds are winning games. If the Reds keep winning games watch the crowds at Suncorp Stadium start getting bigger and bigger.

At that Bulls final penalty kick to touch, the ref made the mark and the Bulls player walked passed it before kicking, right in front of the ref.

The forwards aren’t doing enough off the ball

Except for Thor. That bloke is nuts

Weird comment. Bulls setpiece failed to fire. Everything else looked good

Going to be plenty of opposition supporters saying that this year

Zakar wrote:Good call ref. That's stupid shit from young pat cash.

Utterly agree. Make the point forcefully that this is stupid, unproductive shit.

Good reffing.

Yeah I think Samu doesn't have the spatial nous to defend at 13 as the player he is now.

Needs to keep working on it.

Gets handy breaks and half breaks in attack tho !

I enjoyed that.

Reds have been shit for so long that any improvement is welcome.

Simple game plans, commitment, and a solid spine (Toua, Lance, Tuttle and probably also Kerevi) is making a difference.

Forwards need to do more though, before meeting the Kiwis.

I suspect Thorn is envisaging Rodda as an 80 minute lock, should such be needed.

JP Smith may be my favourite player. His whole persona is fantastic.

I am supporting the Bulls Sards. Unlike you and Yank I am not a flip flop

Maybe they're not, but they beat the Canes, who beat the Crusaders today, so this is not a win to be sniffed at.

I thought many of those scrum penalties could have gone either way. Ref was good in the main.

Two young developing sides. Reds left many points out there, good Bulls defence or Reds attack a little toothless. Kiwi sides will rack up cricket scores with that amount of possession.

A work in progress, but as someone said, the Reds will take any good news.

Reds won't win the comp but few teams will travel to Brisbane and cruise to an easy win. Thorn has developed a physical team that is strong at the set piece. It's the second week in a row they've held off a far more experienced side with a bunch of 20 year olds. I was worried when they let Simmons go - now I can see why he wasn't considered.

Tupou, Slipper, JP Smith, Mafi and Paenga-Amosa should all get plenty of time with the Wallabies this year. Liam Wright is a future star.

Chucked that game away as well. Best chance of a road win. Same as the Stormers against the Tahs.
