There is also a game at 2pm tomorrow at Brumbies HQ where the Brumbies Runners take on the Waratah A’s.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Hey Rudderless, any news on the team for the Runners? I imagine the likes of Ieli, Bowron, Neville, Lachlan Hooper, Condon, Saumasue, Thorn, Anderson, Pritchard and Wilcox will be there if available. The remainder probably coming out of last year's U19s/20s who might be training with the main squad.

 

[Rudderless]

I’m trying to get a team list.
I know of 5 players from last years u19 Waratahs squad who are having a run in the As.

[dru]

Brumbies line up is just obscene it is so strong. heart is with Force, but sheesh.

 

[Yoda]

Yes on paper will do it easy. At home too.

 

[Brumby Runner]

What exactly does that mean Yoda? Are you suggesting they aren't as strong as the team list seems? Or are you thinking the Force will beat them regardless of team strength? It is a rather vague comment.

 

[dru]

? Didn't seem vague to me, BR. An agreement with a "+" (home game).
Brumbies should run long into this comp, enjoy it.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Right Dru, I hear what you say, but I wonder about the reference to "on paper ". If it doesn't imply the reality is weaker, why even say it. That is my question.

 

[LeCheese]

'On paper' simply means that the reality is yet to be determined.

 

[Sully]

I think he's trying to say that the Brumbies are the better side, but the Force will try everything in their power to make it a dockyard brawl and drag you down to their level.

 

[Wilson]

Anyone:
"The Brumbies are looking really good this year"
BR:
"Not great??? Why would you even think to say that? Your disdain for our nations capital is unbecoming ”

 

[Forced]

What a shitty comment to make-why always so smarmy?

Vague? On paper Brumbies look awesome. Returning Wallabies, home ground advantage. Just a saying. Looking forward to the game and to see how Meredith goes at 10. Good player .

Waratah As v Brumby Runners
HT 19-12
FT 45-38

 

[cyclopath]

Great opening try from the Force. Wright with a minor brain fart to give the ball to the Force.

 

[todd4]

I hope we continue to see the Force keep ball in hand rather than their usual ploy of kicking it away.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

This Force jersey absolutely rules.

Stop the game now! 14-0
