Go Reds
What happened to Mike Harris? Brilliant 10 and 12!
Robbie must select him for the RWC

The way the log is structured now…these two might meet each other in the semi-finals.

Good solid team again. Will be even better once they can put Lucas back to the bench with the return of Hynes and Davies.
Speaking of bench, the Reds made a huge fuss, and went to all the effort of making sure Dom Shipperley got exemption from the World U20s competition, just so he can warm the bench?
@Mighty Horua(Mighty Horua)-3: Out injured for a couple more rounds. Agreed that he was a huge find. I don’t want to put too much expectation on him, but his style reminds me of Aaron Mauger.
