Round 7: Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 6th 7.35PM AEDT @ GIO Stadium

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I want to cry :-(

Hope it’s just the back he missed last week with and not the foot injury again.

 

[Wilson]

Close as the score is it feels like the tahs are stretched about as far as they'll go here.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Hope it’s just the back he missed last week with and not the foot injury again.

FUUUUUUUUCK

 

[swingpass]

Horan saying it his foot on Sran

 

[Wilson]

Tahs only really playing well in their own 22, as soon as they get out they lose their heads a bit and the Brumbies end straight back down there.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Hope it’s just the back he missed last week with and not the foot injury again.

You could see it on his face. It was always the foot

 

[Pokinacha]

Keeping the brumbies from crossing the line and scoring for almost 40mins… that’s nearly a win

 

[Yoda]

Lolesio playing well tonight.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Tom Wright's try. Great flat ball out to the wing

 

[molman]

That Goddard try looked pretty close to not being grounded there. Brushing grass tops.

 

[dru]

The line outs have been bizarre. Barely a line out not lost by the team with the throw. The defensive work from both teams has been fabulpous but neither can win their own ball consistently.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Was pleased until that last moment. Bend don’t break seemed to be the way for the Tahs but how long will it last?

Pollard having a real crack in attack and defence. Not sure Hooper is a 7. He’s had some carries but he’s a 6 and a good one.

Want to see Toole go looking for some work. I know it’s wet but since he’s getting the Wallaby push let’s see it.

Noah is business as usual for this season which is great to see from a Wallaby perspective.

From the Tah's perspective Holloway has been notable... but yes, not sure if it's just the wet making it easier to go for a flick back than a catch.

 

[Yoda]

Jorgensen is again quiet.... need to get him the ball along with Marky.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Holloway is a menace, best of the locks out there so far tonight. Cale is continuing to be Cale at the lineout.

 

[Froggy]

Tahs as always giving the game away with penalties. A couple of passes dropped absolutely cold doesn't help either. Brumbies haven't been spectacular, but accurate, they just don't give the ball away like the Tahs. Pollard looks really good, Lolesio looking more and more like our best 10, Tua has also been excelent.
For the Tahs, Holloway and Gamble have been outstanding, Edmed just doesn't seem to have a feel for the game

 

[Brumby Runner]

Sapsford has had an impressive game out on the wing. He is also taking a lot of the clearing kicks from the Brumbies' 22m.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Harrison needs to stop saying “Sexy” immediately.
