Reds 17 / 3
Brilliance from cooper. Hope we see him in the ozzie jersey this tri-nations!
Reds need to win by at least 100 points to put pressure on stormpoppies…….
Reds style of play impresses…. but they’re a bit helter skelter sometimes, would like to see them improve their tight game as well…
@39 yip, if they don’t improve those aspects of their game they will never be title contenders. Exciting to watch tho’…
Awesome by Cooper… man that oke is playing with such flair….

Lol at these ozzie commentators, “no one got hurt in that fight, cos’ they’re hopeless”

Steve Halfjack Walsh is a useless referee… he has no control over players….
Lemoenetyd

56 – Durban, Good luck then for the rest of the bru. You have done well.
