Writing in The Sydney Morning Herald, Marc Hinton looks at the Twitter banter between Stephen Brett and his opposite number Quade Cooper ahead of the Reds v Blues showdown this weekend.
"As is the way these days, Stephen Brett has already engaged his opposite number in Saturday's Super Rugby semi-final via Twitter. Nothing like a bit of verbal jousting ahead of the main event, even if you are restricted to 140 characters or less.
But the Blues five-eighth is well aware the real statements will be made at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane when he goes head-to-head against Reds playmaker Quade Cooper in what shapes as the pivotal matchup of the night.
Brett will be a crucial figure for the Blues in what is likely to be much more user-friendly conditions than they've become used to. As the Blues look to unleash their backline, decision-making and execution in the playmaker role will be vital."
