2010 I was at twickenham when we managed to beat a good Aussie side. James O’Connor was playing, I think he was about 20 years old at the time. I remember thinking he was a very good player and have watched his career with great interest over the years. I know he’s had his ups and downs, but to see him score the winning try and take the title is really satisfying to see. Well played reds, a great game and congrats James (you’ve earned it) from uk 🇬🇧

[@adamelger7884]

I was at that game

[@newspaper9949]

He’s a great player, they should get him in the squad for the next few years until a quality young fly half comes along.

[@Sulu-sw3zo]

Well said, thanks for sharing.

[@canadiancontent352]

Choked up a bit when Tupou talked about not seeing his family since 2019. I haven't been back to my home town since then as well. Good on him to keep on fighting thru it. Keep your chin up everyone. This too shall pass.

[@cullyx2913]

👍 18 months for me,hopefully end in sight brother

[@1isdom]

Someone was peeling onions near me too🤫

[@LeBaseballGuy]

Same here, I haven't seen my parents since 2019. I had my trip cancelled because of some rail protests and then COVID hit a few weeks later. I'm in Canada, too. Was able to first book my jabs 3 days ago, there is hope on the horizon.

[@gregorsalmon]

Cracking game aside, that was the best Australian coverage of a rugby match I've ever seen and I've been watching for 30-plus years. So well put together, it was like this was the first time a broadcaster really took rugby seriously. All 9's NRL and State of Origin experience was applied to rugby, and it highlighted how unimaginative and tiresome Seven, Foxtel and Ten's efforts were. The match itself, and the emergence of some genuine talent, is a shot in the arm for the code, sure, but after decades of underwhelming TV packaging, rugby finally has a broadcaster with ambitions for the game. For that, we owe Raelene Castle recognition for putting Fox and its same-same old boys' club delivery on ice.

[@Sulu-sw3zo]

Totally agree Gregor. I've watched every game from NZ, and have been so impressed with the changes which have been happening in Australian rugby. There are some great young guns coming through in the code there, and to have a broadcaster that delivers quality content which brings these players to the fore is wonderful. It was also a master stroke having Michael Cheika as part of the Stan team. His insight and comments have been fascinating. And to be honest the whole Stan pundit and commentary team is superior to their NZ counterparts, in my opinion. Really good point acknowledging Raelene Castle's role in the sea change which is happening there. She had a torrid time battling that old boys' club.

Pro tip : watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@dashlyric2306]

@Keaton Jeremy yea, have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)

What. A. Game. Now that's defence worthy of a final. QLR fully deserved winners.

[@keithallardice6139]

Well played Reds and well done to James O'Connor for playing so well and getting the winning try, but you gotta feel for the Brumbies who gave it their all ... helluva match!

[@Endeavour02]

WOW Australian rugby looking good great game big crowd. Looking forward to seeing how our NZ teams shape against them. Congratulations QLD and the Brumbies on a epic final. 🇳🇿

[@6eight5ns92]

Are you kidding

[@pafry6432]

No chance against the kiwis..Thats watching two B teams playing. Very sloppy game can tell by the penalties. Queensland was lucky to win, because Canberra was the better team. But the gave too much penalties.

[@eltimmar4406]

So happy for O'connor, he was so good this season... Gg

[@Formakiwi]

That was a genuine thriller, tighter and more exciting than the SRA final earlier in the night. Good to see Aussie rugby producing such a quality contest. Cheers from NZ 😎

To think people were sticking the knife into Brad Thorne 2 years ago. Serve them some crow.

Watched both super rugby finals.Overall the reds v brumbies was the better final as it was a much closer contest .Two heavy weights in a test match quality game.Bigger crowd and better atmosphere as well.Awesome game.

[@Sulu-sw3zo]

Agree with you 100%.

[@archvermin]

To date, Brad Thorn has: -Won a NRL championship -Won a SR championship -Won a RWC -Won a Heineken championship -And now he's coached the Reds to become the SR AU champions How does he do it lads? How is he so GOAT?

[@seano4784]

He won 4 league championship not just one, 2 state of origin titles for Qld, 5 bledisloe cups and 3 tri nation titles for NZ. He leaves Tom Brady for dead in terms of achievements

[@archvermin]

@@seano4784 I stand corrected, what a chad among men

[@SB-th8uc]

Great to see a big crowd for a big game in Australia; I've enjoyed the separate SR competitions either side of the Tasman for what they are. Good effort.

[@rkkeogh988]

What a win from the Reds gotta feel for the brumbies 3rd time loosing in the final few minutes but heads up there still a great team and all the best to them in Trans-Tasman. This just wasn't a boost for the Reds but for Aussie rugby in general and I hope rugby gets popular again as a result.

[@byronbarker936]

James O'Connor, take the Trophy, you deserve it 🏆🥇

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Far better competition and attendance as a stand alone league. Should stay this way.

[@jordanthesecond8987]

I think it would be interesting to open it back up a bit, but just with Aus and NZ. Provides a little more variety with 10 teams as opposed to 5, while still keeping a high level of competition, and keeping the travel distances relatively short would keeps fan close and stadiums full.

[@datecashif7401]

Better because the best super rugby teams are not there and the Aus teams get to win something? 😄😄

[@Formakiwi]

I agree. If the international structure is going to be retained, they should break up the early rounds into a local conference system, and keep the initial round-robin phases as local derbies, as you have now, followed by a finals playoff series hosted by one of the participant nations on an annually rotating basis and featuring the best two teams from each conference. The structure could look something like this: Conference 1 (SRA): Crusaders Blues Chiefs Highlanders Hurricanes Conference 2 (SRAU): Reds Brumbies Force Warratahs Rebels Conference 3 (SRSA): Bulls Stormers Lions Sharks Jaguares Conference 4 (Asia-Pacific): Fiji Drua Moana Pasifika Kanaloa Hawaii Sunwolves South China Tigers This would allow for expansion without making the competition rounds unwieldy, cut down the amount of long haul travel, and likely provide better attendance at each game. That's how you reconcile with Richard Desmond and his GRR offshoot, make a contribution to the development and financial health of PI and Asian rugby, expand the sport's appeal into new markets, better manage the travel obligations of your elite players, and produce a better standard of rugby for the public. At least I think so. 😉

[@petergrifin1958]

@@datecashif7401 yes that's exactly why its better. Provides bigger crowds and an Aussie winner way better for the game and people can suppor.

Superb Reds! Bloody good victory win. You never gave up, you applied so much pressure that the Brumbies had three sent to the yellow bin, and finally, finally, James O'connor gave you some more points to seal it!!! Well done to Brad, all his Staff and, of course, his Excellent Squad of talented, united players...BRILLIANT !!!

I don’t follow this logic. They were deserved yellow cards, for offences that likely prevented Reds from scoring. No sympathy for cheating.

[@denniswilson8258]

Good win but i think the rulings around tackles that initially hit the chest area and creep up should be changed. Those are ball and all tackles and are not intentionally dangerous. That said, good to see rugby in good shape in Australia.
