They may have suffered a ninth loss of the season, but Queensland Reds got a glimpse of what the future may hold as Taniela Tongan Thor made his Super Rugby debut.The former New Zealand schoolboy sensation came off the bench as a replacement for Greg Holmes in the 35th minute in the 43-24 defeat by the Brumbies, making eight runs for 19 metres and four tackles, all before scoring the games final try.But it was his scrummaging that was most impressive, particularly given he was up against Wallabies loosehead Scott Sio.To see Taniela Tupou come off the bench, you know earlier than what we had thought, played 55 minutes of football and we know he can run, hes explosive and he showed that, Reds coach Nick Stiles said.But to see him step up and scrummage the way he did for a 19/20-year-old footballer playing your first game against Scott Sios and [Allan] Alaalatoas, its so exciting for us moving forward. You know we wanted to win tonight, but if you cast your mind forward to next season and you look at the players were talking about now, theres a lot of hope and optimism.While Tupou was making his Super Rugby debut, a couple of old hands also returned to the southern hemisphere provincial scene.Former Waratahs lock Kane Douglas and former Bath back-rower Leroy Houston both came off the bench in the 50th and 57th minutes respectively, with Houston in particular lifting the Reds tempo late on.Theyre world class I think, Reds captain James Slipper said of the experienced duo.Kane, we all know what he did last year, so were excited with the fact that were getting a bit of experience back into the team. Leroy has been around the Reds for a long period, he was there when I first started, so he knows what to expect. I think with the more footy hes playing with us, the better.Theyre both quality players and the more minutes they play its only going to help us.And the praise didnt stop there with Stiles glowing in his assessment of rookie lock Lukhan Tui.Yeah as Slips [Slipper] mentioned, Kane and Leroy, it was great to have them back but for me we know what they can do -- we know theyre very good footballers, Stiles said.But for me, I was actually more excited about the performances of Lukhan Tui; you know who before tonight, hed had 10 minutes off the bench in South Africa, and to see him start tonight against Sam Carter, (Scott) Fardy; youre playing against (Rory) Arnold; youre playing against a good forward pack and gee he stood up and he played physical and athletic. So I was really happy with him.While the Reds final hopes were dashed long ago, some late-season improvement can only help their cause for next year with Wallabies captain Stephen Moore also set to return to Ballymore in 2017.Rumours also suggest Quade Cooper will be back in Brisbane, too, with Michael Cheika keen to have him involved with the Wallabies as soon as he negotiates a return to Super Rugby.

The 35-year-old striker has scored 67 goals in 128 games for Germany, leaving him one goal shy of the German record of 68 goals set by Gerd Muller. Klose is also within striking distance of another record as his 14 World Cup goals leave him just one short of Brazilian forward Ronaldos total of 15. When asked if the 2014 World Cup would be his final competition for Germany, Kllose said: "It will be like that in the national team, Id like to think.dddddddddddd" Klose, who is in the final year of his contract with Lazio, also hinted that he could return to the Bundesliga next summer to finish out his club career. "I want to play a good season, play the World Cup and take it from there," Klose said. "I am still fit and in any case still feel like playing football. Certainly the Bundesliga is an option. I can absolutely imagine ending my career in Bundesliga." ' ' '
