Brumbies vs Sharks – Live Commentary

Welcome to the live coverage of the ponies taking on the sharks. Sharks haven’t won in Canberra since 1998, can’t see that changing tonight

Paul Marks on the sidelines, guess he couldn’t cause too much trouble from there?

Can’t be worse than the touchie last night

Welcome fellas, Marks must be loved by the Sharks…

G’Day Cyclo, welcome aboard!

Of course if you put Goode and Waugh next to each other…tougher to pick

Never Phil Waugh as he is the beautiful man.

Did Kearnsy just called Stirlo Mertlock?

Was that the Bakkies clause?

Soft

Ag, ja, that’s it Moses

Justin.tv isn’t great tonight.

I’m glad the Brumbies have picked up the midfield bomb tactic

Brumbies don’t look very interested so far.

That was a great kick

trouble

Fark that was close!

G’Day Sully

Mrs sully says peniculous is not a word

Brumbies look like they’re using the Schmoo play book from early last night. Music again, Moses?? (Gagger had the yackety sax on hand)

Mrs Sully sounds intelligent.

Good work in the scrum

Shmoo had scored two tries by now!

not a bad scrum at all

3 actually – gave one away too

can’t be too smart she yell at recorded rugby games

He’s a KIwi, Harfish. Careful mate!!

@Harfish: https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10035.0;attach=874

Gerratt Williamson

More kicking please

don’t know him, which is unusual

brumbies don’t sem to have a plan

Nice restart Gits

Man this is ugly

How much did the ponies play for this joker?

Think I’m gonna watch the Phoenix when they start

Gits be lucky to make Wallabies reserve bench if he keeps this form up.

No, the Brumbies are the new Force, and the Force are the new Reds

Brumbies = shit, Force = shitter

makes sense the Force are the new Reds, considering about 90% of their payroll are from qld

Does anyone see tomorrow night’s game being anything other than a massacre?

I’m worried

Hey Sully, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peniculus

great run by christian

forwaard

Valentine, you twit

ran too far

http://www.answers.com/topic/pernicious

WTF was the Shorks openside doing crawling on the ground at that scrum??

if that wasn’t forward they’ve have gotten the high tackle..

Has AAC ever ont broken the advantage line?

Mortlock don’t crash like he used to.

No. He crashes in a Carter-esque fashion, I fear!

Pienaar all over valentine like a fat kid on a cupcake

But with a pirouette instead of a stop-step

Moore just taking a powernap under the posts..

AAC = 5 tom carters

Carter needs a double-barrel name to increase his cred

4.6 Carters actually. Why do we only have one game tonight?

Hey, Mark and Epi.

Score is down the bottom

crowd looks pretty good, maybe 18k

6-3

Sharks

Score down the bottom if you’re producing, Moses. Not for mere mortals

Not to worry NTA, we can watch the Tahs match again!

no score on mine Moses

Terblanche cocks up a kick. http://www.justin.tv/projectvanillascented#r=q7NKWnw~

Oh, need to actually click publish!

Right A-League’s on, looks far more exciting

There you go.

Gitfinger to tie it up. Loving the G&GR Memorabilia too. Perfect gift for my brother.

Can someone ban Harfish for heresy

P.S. Giteau you suck

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7d4I-HR6iw

Not allowed to vilify gay people

football is for girls

The Sharks took the Tahs old mojo with them last week

They certainly have a way of “grinding out wins”. Maybe Hickey should coach them

can i make this bigger moses

Make what bigger, Sully?

I can forward you an email from my spam folder Sully

this window thingy

maybe, try this link: http://www.coveritlive.com/index.php?option=com_altcaster&task=playaltcast&altcast_code=7539e66119#

none of those things work!

so i’ve been told

See your optometrist

Ideas box empty, Gits kicks it nowhere

Just got the name Adam onto the shortlist, could be a young adam ashley-moses……

The halfbacks have both run further with the ball than Burgess has this season

fucking hell man

Are you for real?

I am, anyone else hear the swearing into the mike/

Bissy does a Bakkies. Should we call it a Bissy?

Nah that’s what he said: “Fucking hell man are you for real?”

Justice for Bismark

Nasty clearance by Bissy though – ball was well gone, no chance of blowing over there

I love how Moses and Nick complete each others sentences!

bastard!

Was that dissent from Smit, asking if Marks had awarded the penalty?

I love how cyclo thinks Moses is even in the same league… Jeez Smith looks ordinary.

Nice bit of mountaineering at that last ruck

Pienaar is doing a lot of flopping

I could never hold down a classy lady like NTA

@ superbru – being made an AR is the worsy kind of banning!!

Ouch – nice headbutt Chis

superbru – Kafe apparently reviewed the decision and found nothing wrong. Its a divisive issue. Its also history.

Superbru is posting via twitter, so can’t hear replies. Still, Sharks are bittter!

Chis looks to have lost some pace to me? Now he’ll run 60 to score…

Chis: top end speed down, guns 20% bigger

For some big guns, they shoot birdshot.

Fine work

Could be a card too. 2 or 3 blatant shockers there.

Alexander impresses with his go forward. Nice. Benefits from not having to work at THP?? Nick? Thoughts?

And its the most prominent thing to note about the Sharks: their discipline is completely shit. They are infringing like little bitches. It lost them the game against the Chiefs and Crusaders, and it kept the Tahs in the game regardless of what happened at the end

Pisses me off – Brumbies core so the ref doesn’t bother to talk to the Shorks about all their crap at the breakdown.

Yeah its one of those things cyclo – yellow cards are forgotten if reward is earned. Hopefully the ref has stored that couple of minutes away for later in the game

Very technical – Gits made the tackle, so the offending player was meaningless.

The 10 metre rule was there when i playedwhy can’t playersget out of it

Fair call, Sully. I do agree with policing the offside, so fair enough

mortlock held out of the way

Amazing defense

Peniculous Pienaar pops the pill down!!

Nice work by Muller there, Mortlock could have made a big difference there..

Commies saying mortlock was still being cleaned out

Andy Guuuude’s hairdo is why I shave my head!! Jeebus!

I think its a dud rule to be honest – if the kick is bad but you’re put onside by someone then play on.

Andy Guudes hairdo is why I wash my hair weekly

Prime candidate for a comb-over in later life.

Front rowers are sexy to women who appreciate real men

I had hair at your age, Moses. Careful!!

Hairloss is apparently hereditary from your mothers father.. who still had a full head of hair at his 90th

I think Morty is already on the plane to Japan.

Moses, that is the oldest of old wives tales. Get it from either side, hate to say

Guuude doing something funny with the hands there??

its female line predominantly though

Shit game. But good work from the Sharks.

wifey is very happy wit the sharkies leading…

I don’t mind it either :)

So, Kafe, when do all those other tries come? Maybe the Tahs weren’t so crap? Hee-hee.

Moses is NZRU the real thing?

Yeah, nzru is “The official home of New Zealand Rugby on Twitter”

what is with all the #

Go the Guppies! Go the Brumbies! At least make a friggin game out of it…

brumbies need a name change. Headless chooks sounds good

Bumblies

Mortlock really looks flat – 4 weeks in and not a good sign. Lealiifano is pretty sharp though.

Nick – assessment of scrum thus far>

beerandsport – don’t do that. Now I need a 5 minute break…

Is that a flex-tape “H”?

cyclo – scrum looks like a points decision to the Sharks at this point.

So where does that put the Brumbies front row – I would have expected better esp with Smit propping.

Ma’afu looks like he’s getting a bit of a pasting so Alexander can’t really attack Smit as much as he wants. Andy Friend isn’t returning my calls

I’m with you – Alexander should be at 3

Yeah I kind of like my Wallaby incumbents playing in their incumencies

Or incumbencies even

Nick, slightly off topic what’s your view on Kepu’s scrummaging. I wasn’t impressed last night

When he was at THP it was good to start with but he started getting smashed once the Sharks LHP figured out he had nothing.

# = hash tags. They are for twitter.

I think the Tahs should have Palmer on the bench next game to get him some field time. Maybe start Kepu in a game or two to give Robbo a rest mid-season

thanks I don’t Tweet

Yeah what is up with this Twitter thing? Seems a little g@y to me

I would have palmer on the bench now.

were there scrums last night. when did they find the time.

Who’s off for Smith? Mortlock?

Water dousing with a football?

cmon george, chip kick

LOL someone in the crowd screaming out pure strine “HAVE A RUN!!!”

Mortlock off

Jacobs looks like Matt Dunning with headgear. Dunning is faster though

Adi is getting very round

nice fantasy points for me there, thanks Mr Smith

Brumbies lucky not to get pinged for BA off his feet

Suuuper nudge, AAC

Alexander was so wrong there!!

that should move him up on the carter meter

Morty shoulder. Surprised? Nope.

Mortlock has pinching in the shoulder – how does that affect the legs?

That AAC kick was almost as big as the kid kicking for St Augustines in the warmup last nigth

He’s not using it for crashball

Nice work Stephan

Yackety sax!!!

Right – let’s see what the Bumblies scrum has when they really need it

Was that on Marks’ wing?

Great touch finder

Paul Marks strikes again – that ball was 2 feet out, peanut!

Jeez – Sharks’ timing is better but the Brumbies really ripped in.

Ref making a teepee sign – time for peace pipe, great sachem?

I had yackety sax loaded last night.

why can’t that scrum keep going

Yep – Smit is getting tired

Sully – safety reasons.

Skid Marks to come in to recommend the penalty try here – you heard it first.

Bismarck trying to ask the ref to take it easy on Smit

Great call cyclo

Inevitable

Great work Benn. Glad I kept him in my team.

He’s Ben – the loosehead is Benn.

Interesting try – technically Alexander is offside

Typo

why not reset that scrum

Giteau – poo

Good stuff matty, two tries for a prop is reasonable. Wish I had Mitchell though… 99 points this week!

How could anyone pick that?

That scrum was essentially over – the ref could have penalised them but the Brumbies showed a willingness to clear the ball.

Just type “poo”, Nick. Quicker. We know who you mean

Another fucking box kick

SMith was offside then

Ref says play on, then penalty?

Play on for Smith, then not for the next player in

Sharks back in the lead

bumblies giving lots of penalties

Terblanche having a shocker this week compared to last

Jeez terblanch is having a shocker

Penalty try!!!

So glad I dropped terblanche, he’s had a bad year

Wrong side of the field for Marks

Rocky!

Fucking hospital pass from Tyrone. Go to deck you muppet

think he was hurt

Hurt in the fucking brain

What was the rulling there?

Brumbies just look disjointed. Sharks are not doing anything amazing. What up?

surely that went back, based on the other precadents tonight

Sharks starting to look like the Lions on defence – going in too high

Knock on, my arse.

poo

Poo=Giteau, Moses. Keep up.

brumbies scrum starting to get on top

Tonight the scrums are further apart – last night Robinson’s head was right up against the Lions’ THP before engagement

Fark! Ma’afu has Beast on skates at the moment.

Valentine needs to settle. Idiot.

Valentine has always been a cock. But then Sykes is a cock in that instance

What kind of slap was that from the little ginga?

Shame he can’t run a backline

Can kick tho

Deysel on – he’s a big unit. I like his style

Wow the Saffer teams really have us shitting ourselves on restarts

Is that our Brumby Jack that Kafe was talking to?

They get lots of hang time

Reds had the Tahs shitting the restarts too

Doctor Tripmaster on

How does he type with them hooves?

Very large keyboard cyclo

Need to get one for warathjesus!

Fair call on the shoulder chaerge

Silly by Alexander

bet it felt good

So Real Madrid can’t use fatigue as an excuse this week. What the hell is up with the Brumbies? Swap Gits and Leileileileileileileliefano

how about giteau has a rest and bring matout

poo with another average kick

Yeah Toomua might give them something different

40/20 from the Shorks :)

something good would be different

Hate to say it, the Brumbies need a Tom Carter!!

ouch

who stepped on Goode’s head?

The guy with hair in his cleats. Fainifo the only one to get over the ad line every time

George and Tyrone have the same step.

Hoiles linking game is shite

Forward

Hoiles power game is shit

Hoiles has a very small carbon footprint as a poer player

What was that shit??

You guys seen Van Humphries new book?
http://tweetphoto.com/14215509

The brumbies stole the tahs play book

Hoiles is no longer a Wallaby candidate and he’ll have to work fucking hard to get on that list.

who would back up Palu tho? brown is shit

JP Pietersen’s knee is getting some work tonight

Cannot see what he brings to the table

that book is brilliant

Some ugly dudes in the 7s squad according to Mrs TA

Some interesting spam around here

Difficult call from the ref – the Sharks went in shoulders below hips. How can you bind when Smith is hitting the ground

She was tweeting about rugby earlier.

bless her

Not releasing Mr Alexander

Just dumd from Alexander. Clearly held

Don’t bet against a hat trick for the big fella

Hard to back in at $41 for first try

Lealiafano needs to go off for Toomua

Can the brumbies stuff this up too?

Been doing it all week, ref!!

Kankowski offside just like last week

looked alright to me

Brumbies soft not going for a try.

my 18 point spread is looking very remote

Haha ‘skullet’. He looks like a greesy punter do’s Andy Goode. Back alley gambling/prostitution den, gloves with the fingers cut out styles

Giteau = poo, chief. No massive standouts

Shiteay is how he’s been. Franky Fainifo has been the man. Goode dropgoal will win this. You heard it here first.

A real finnigan he is

goode gone

gone for goode

Brumbies need to lift here. Bury these saffas already

Kockett on – now Valentine is no longer the biggest knob on the field. There goes my dropgoal prediction

Kockett is a knob of note

I would pay top dollar to see a fight between Kockett and Jimmy Cowan

hope he doesn’t get a kick at goal we only have 9 minutes to play. could he stare at the post for that long?

Sully – taking notes from Hickey’s playbook

Should have left sleazy Goode on for the drop goal option.

Although they do have the sneak Peinaar

My tips need the Brumbies to score twice more.

Why didn’t they try and roll that mauL?

Jeez that is a big call from the ref – one minute you’ve got a perfect wedge maul and then the next Sykes “came through the middle”???

I tipped the bumboys by 2

2 converted for me

Sykes wins the knockon and then gets yanked!

Good kick TwoDads

nice of the sharks to let it bounce too

Shocker Dr Tripman

Sharks = a team I love to hate

Get Fainifo on the reserve hooker!!

Reserve hooker to the wing!

Reserve hooker on the wing, thats gold

This is beautiful

They always thought they are hot shit. This year they can scoop that hot shit with a wooden spoon

They’ll blame the ref somehow
