Phil Lutton charts the remarkable rise of the Queensland Reds over the past four years in The Sydney Morning Herald
"When the Reds met the imposing Bulls in the final round of the 2007 season at Loftus Versfeld, the home side faced the unlikely prospect of needing a 72-point victory to secure a home final. But they did it with change to spare, destroying the Reds in a record 92-3 romp that sent the Ballymore franchise to perhaps the lowest point in its history. The Reds won just two games that season and, for the first time, the wooden spoon. Coach Eddie Jones left soon after and the mountain to recovery would start being climbed."
