Edmed actually cost the Tahs a chance of winning the game with his ultra poor kicking game. And when the Tahs should have been puuting pressure on, in the 20 minutes or so after half time, he, or someone else (but mostly him) inevitably kicked the pill away on first or second phase. Poor game...

Gleeson has had a whale of a game in a losing (so far) side tonight. Breaking tackles and making many metres in attack, and a brick wall in defence including a couple or more try saving efforts.

Cohesion, schmohesion. Best 6, 7, 8 at the moment are Valetini, McReight, Leota. I like Wright and think his form this year is deserving of a bench spot. Harry W is in a contest with Gleeson for 3rd best No 8.

A better performance in the second half but still a long way off where they were last year. Want to see improved form from the likes of Kautai, Neville, Hooper, Noah, and Muirhead. Noah is looking extremely pedestrian in a situation where the Wallabies No 10 spot is wide open. He's not doing...

From a Wallabies perspective, I hope TT gets to play every minute of the SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) competition in order to regain fitness and form. We are very light on for THPs across the franchises at the moment.

LOFL.

Now we just need to work out a way to retain all of our best players after we reduce to four or three SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) teams. There's a lot left to be played out yet in this saga I fear.

It is definitely a young side Hawko, but no reason to think they might have 50 put on them by the Brumbies A team which itself is a very young side too. By my count, about half the 24 Brumbies A players were in the U20s or U19s last year. I think both sides have similar profiles of youngsters...

KOB I'm sure there would have been sufficient numbers of more qualified coaches and assistant coaches already in the Aussie SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) franchises more than willing to take a role had they been asked - Laurie Fisher for one, but thankfully now he wasn't asked. Of course, the reason they weren't asked...

Uru outpointed LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) tonight, Leota clearly more effective than Harry Wilson, Tate was irrepressible, Reds showing a lot to like in their support play and offloading, Rebels did good to get back into the game in the second half, but poor execution led to a couple of tries to the Reds that cemented...

He was put into an impossible spot by Kellaway's very poor, no-look pass though. Not the first time a Kellaway pass has gone astray this match because he doesn't look to see where the support player is.

Rudderless, happen to know if this game will be streamed?

I think that's an all round stronger Brumbies side than last week's, but will still need some big improvements to be in with a chance of the win. I expect they will go a bit harder at the breakdown, and hopefully will have their lineout problems sorted. Good to see consistency with the backline...

The curtain raiser between Qld runners up, Wests, and the Canberra JID premiers, Tuggeranong Vikings. Well they got that one wrong. Gungahlin Eagles are the reigning JID Cup premiers, not Vikings.

Potter is very lucky not to have been upgraded to a red card. He was responsible for Swain being hit in the air, even if it was unintentional, and Swain landed on shoulder and almost simultaneously on head. Very close to a red card threshold.

My thoughts too D.

This match could define the season for the Brumbies. Lose to the Force and I think it will indicate a lot going on behind the scenes about the Brumbies future beyond 2024. A win will see them back on track for a better year than they might have expected after the huge loss to the Chiefs, but a...

I would favour incumbancy. If one of the players in contention was in the previous week's TOTW, then as the incumbent he gets the nod.

Very unwise I'd say. With six or more captains over the course of 2023, just too many voices.

Lachlan didn't play for the Runners, and nor did any of the Brumbies U20s players. I haven't seen a team list for the Aussie U20s, but as it was played here in Canberra I would expect a fair few of them would have been from the Brumbies.
