If there's any truth in this report, I wonder if it might go some way to explain the rather disinterested approach of some of the Brumbies players in the game against the Chiefs?

McKenzie was unstoppable from start to finish. Best game I've seen him play, I reckon.

A very disappointing game. Not so much the result or score as the very poor effort put in by so many of the Brumbies players. Might have been an aberration or more likely the Chiefs are a much tougher, more skilled outfit than I at least had given them credit. Anyway, I expect maybe three...

Interesting comment on FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) Reg. I think he had an excellent game yesterday, as did Hanigan when he came on. Interesting just how the 6s line up for the Tahs in future games. Excellent depth in FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner), Hanigan and Swinton.

Havili also looked to be well over weight too I thought. The big difference between the two backlines was in the 9/10 spots. Tahs with a couple of experienced Super players, while the Cru two looked and played like they came straight from school. I was just as surprised, though, by the lack of...

His form has been excellent since the Barbarians games last year. Good to see.

Anybody have the Aus U20s lineup for tomorrow's game? As it's in Canberra, I presume there will be a healthy Brumbies flavour.

I thought Donaldson had a better game overall than Carter G, but one won the first half and the other the second. I think Donaldson has the appearance of being a no frills, steady hand who will never tear a game apart, while both Gordon and Lolesio each offer a bag full of extra running threats...

Two weeks in a row too. Just not good enough.

Towards the end Canham started to dominate in the lineout.

To an interested outsider, Donaldson was better than Carter in the first half, and Carter got better as the game wore on. I thought Kellaway was actually the best for the Rebels. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was also very busy but must have some issues in the lineout on the evidence of yesterday's game.

There's another one of my half dozen tries that could be scored down Potters wing. Not a missed tackle that one, but he did take out his own fullback in the contest for the high ball.

Rob Leota is a good player, but on tonight's evidence he is not a No 8. His control of the ball at the back of a dominant scrum is just woeful.

Hmmm.... A dyslexic Roman?

Potter is the least effective defender out there. Reckon the Rebels could run in half a dozen tries just by attacking his wing.

Round 1: 1 Angus Bell (Tahs) - I'm sticking with my view that Gardner got the scrums mostly wrong and Bell was best in open play. 2 Matt Faessler (Reds) 3 4 Lukhan Salakaia-Loto (Rebels) 5 Nick Frost (Brumbies) - partly the reason the Brumbies lineout absolutely destroyed the Rebels. 6 Rob...

Sefo Kautai in to start in place of Rhys van Nek and Harrison Goddard on the bench in place of Klayton Thorn. I thought Thorn had a very good input in the game last week. Wonder if he has a niggle? Chiefs extremely hard to go past, but Brumbies to win in a 'get even' for the semi loss last year.

At this stage I'd like to see a whack of that money spent on rugby domestically. All good to foster and encourage the Islands, but to little avail if the game withers here.
