Blues v Brumbies Fri Mar 7 Rd 4 2024 (Eden Park)

[LeCheese]

Doleman effect in full view. Hooper's knee barely touches the turf = 3 points Blues

Often makes these games pretty dull, man

Bizarre. All over it. Penalty for holding on before he lost his feet.

The Brumbies are not perfect, but some of what we're seeing is why they are much better than some think on this season so far.

 

[Yoda]

Clearly he is now, but Meredith got maybe 60 mins across the season last year and mostly in the last 10 mins of the game.

Jack Deb started a few and was playing pretty well

Yes… but Jack D was never in Wallaby contention. Come on.

Our defense is our issue

 

[whitefalcon]

Christie should have been penalized there for getting in the way of the chaser

 

[Yoda]

10-10. Surprising me.

 

[Derpus]

Embarrasing defence. That was Ikitau too.

 

[Yoda]

Spoke too soon!

 

[whitefalcon]

Barrett's kicking is as bad as our defence

 

[dru]

Barret radar well of tonight.

 

[Major Tom]

Embarrasing defence. That was Ikitau too.

was it? I thought it was just another miss from a 2nd rower

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Bitta jailbreak with some 'nesian b-ball & a boomfa to finish...

@zer0 will be frothing...

Edit: esp now even if it was Rieko finishing it.

 

[cyclopath]

Our defense is our issue

Yep, biggest issue. But fixable.

 

[Derpus]

Jesus that's pathetic.

That was Ikitau again.

 

[dru]

Yep, biggest issue. But fixable.

quickly, please

 

[whitefalcon]

Barrett's kicking might keep us in this game

 

[Derpus]

was it? I thought it was just another miss from a 2nd rower

Ikitau got on the outside of the player who made the linebreak I thought.

He then shot out of the line for the intercept there.

 

[Yoda]

Barratt has always been an average goal kicker.

 

[cyclopath]

quickly, please

Yeah, not sure it will happen tonight.
