No, he’s had a trigger figure when it comes to the force and he put the whistle away when it comes to the Brumbies.

Mate. The force have dropped the ball cold about 10 times. How do you expect us to win a game when we can't even hold the ball. We didn't even deserve to be in the game by the last 20

I don't think it's that mate. The force have played terribly the whole game. Can't blame the bench imo. Brumbies have just started to hold some possession and put phases together.

When the Force are trying to close the gap which was 1 try, the Brums are able to dominate the Scrum, Maul and anything in tight. Guys like Tiaan just aren’t Super Rugby level.

Not looking at it ? Oh well. Same as the end of the first half.

Man the force were bad. Poor discipline in the first half. Couple of coach killers. A heap of handling errors. Looked ok for about 5 min in the second half and that's it.

If anyone denies the forward pass for the Brumbies try at the end of the first half you're proper blind. The double movement at the end, who cares, Brumbies get the bonus point and get in the top 2 which is great for Aussie rugby. I hope they can do well in the finals as that just cement them a spot regardless

Don't expect anything less from the Brumbies against any side though. Our front row has been hammered by injury. Really missing Marley Pearce imo. He was solid the first half of the season.

Only rugby diehards could have enjoyed that boring game. My God. Brumbies with all the ball .. Force defended well but not good enough. How Noah is ok.

Got too agree. The Brumbies are one of our best hopes to win the title and with rugby like that it's not going to happen. They have definately fell in form compared to the last few years.

I think theyll just take the BP win and move on, two huge games coming to give them a crack at top two. Agree theyre no chance in finals if they roll out what they rolled out tonight but their best will be competitive

Disappointing. We couldn't hang onto the pill and thus couldn't get out of our half. The Brumbies are too good in situations where they have most of the ball and field position.

The Brumbies can have a lot of confidence about their ability away from home. Fiji, Blues, Reds, Force. All usually very strong at home and the Brums have beaten them there. If they can land a top 2 finish and host all qualifiers they have the chance to host the GF depending on results but should be confident in themselves if needed to go somewhere.

That was a hard fought win. The connection between the Brumbies backs and forwards just wasn’t in sync. They often run the play where the forward runner turns it back to the playmaker sweeping around, but the pass missed its mark 4 or 5 times in a row. That, combined with Lolesio’s injury, seemed to unsettle them, so they went to the forward dominated game instead.

I was impressed with the defence and determination of the Force. They hung in there but just got ground down in the end.

Ikitau had a cracking game I thought. He always seems to take the right option in the outside channels. He caught the Force napping with that pick and drive try.
