Reds 16 / 9
It’s the Quade Cooper Show, he’s placed, dropped, converted and scored…. all 16 points
Okay think if we want at least 2 saffa sides to make the play offs. Then we have to support the Reds here.
Go REDS….hehe.
One of our teams will make the play offs that is a given, but seriously if none of our others make a play off and our top of the conference team don’t get to a semi, like I said it actually could be a good thing for our players, to get rest before the 3Nations and wc.
So either way not too worried. But if we do want two saffa sides in then we have to support Reds today. Sorry OldG. Just thinking of the saffa sides…lol.
