    Super Rugby AU Rd 6 - Brumbies v Force

    Nothing I said is incorrect actually. I think you've missed my point which is that it may not be the Brumbies choice. Plenty of talented 2nd choice players have moved franchises because they feel like they're ready to start games and aren't getting the opportunities where they are. If he keeps...

    Super Rugby AU Rd 6 - Brumbies v Force

    I can see his point though. You guys have 3 of the best young 10s in the country and they have none. At some point Pasitoa will move on and I wouldn't be surprised if that is next year(contract dependant). He isn't seen as a starting 10 or 12 in ACT. Would be a great get for the Force. If WF can...

    Super Rugby AU Rd 6 - Brumbies v Force

    That is all well and good but the other 2 options are turning 27 next month and 30 years old. They don't have a project 10. I would somewhat agree if they had a Lolesio, Harrison, Carter x 2, Pasitoa, etc etc. Hopefully they pick one up for next season. If Miotti is their best 10 they should be...

    Super Rugby AU Rd 6 - Brumbies v Force

    *replying to you because it is the last one I saw but applies to a few* McIntyre has been well below average. Offering very little to the Force attack. Cannot figure out how he is still starting over the other two who are in a different league to him. I actually think the Force would have won 1...

    Super Rugby Rnd 6: Waratahs v Reds

    Don't want to hijack this game thread but I do agree with you. Think he will be a long term Wallaby, was going to be him or Hockings and think HH has blown his shot in the short term. Hoping the Brumbs give Frost a few starts to show what he has got over 60. On topic.... would be a massive...

    Yep. They compliment each others perceived weaknesses.

    Reds 2021

    I think Jock has been great. A big improvement in his game has been the meters and accuracy he has added to his kicking game. Each game he has nailed a couple kicks from inside his 22 out well into the opposition half on the full. I think he compliments that backline perfectly. Uses those...

    Put Jock's calmness, rugby brain and apparent eagerness to learn/improve into Maddocks' raw talent / body and you have a 10yr Wallaby fullback right there.

    Round 5 : Reds v Force, Suncorp Stadium, 20 March 6.45

    Mate he has not been. The attack is stifled when he plays. Doesn't matter though as he is clearly the coach's favorite, perhaps some old Dragons allegiance would explain it. No Miotti or Lance on the bench is odd. Shame Daugunu isn't available I hope Ilaisa is up to it as Ralston is a pretty...

    Round 5 : Reds v Force, Suncorp Stadium, 20 March 6.45

    I get the impression Sampson is off Jono. He should have started or been in the 23 that last game after Jake's poor showing in previous games. If Jake starts again this week something is wrong. He isn't the same level as Miotti or Lance. Excited for this game but the Force always lift against...

    Mate this is happening because IT IS A JOKE as pointed out by Forcefield. A very common joke. It has clearly gone over the head of old mate Grey and yourself. Not sure how though because it is about as simple as a joke comes.

    Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 27th Feb, Canberra

    In the Reds game the commentary team were saying that you had to initially bind onto the last player before you can move up the ruck. I believe the law is that you have to bind onto the hindmost player. The application appears to be that your initial bind must be onto the hindmost player then...

    Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 27th Feb, Canberra

    Feel for the Tahs and the supporters. I was expecting some pretty exciting things from them this year. I hope they can pull themselves out of this hole and get some respectable outcomes and improvements. Tizzano played well again, Moeroa got some good go forward and looked to get involved in...

    Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 27th Feb, Canberra

    He is actually very very fast. I think Maddocks had a bit of an angle on him with that intercept - also he is no slouch. Banks could also have been keeping a bit in the tank given the score.

    Brumbies v Waratahs, Sat 27th Feb, Canberra

    Huh? The Brumbies attacking shape is much better than the Tahs. As I write this they made another line break. A rolling maul is a high percentage play if you are good at it. Brumbies would be mad not to use it.

    Super AU R2 - Reds v Rebels Suncorp Stadium 26/2

    I think a lot of the criticism is at the fact the ref didn't take control of aspects of the game. Not a single warning for multiple infringements around the ruck. There was a huge amount of sloppy and blatantly cynical play in the ruck. Refs need to get on this early and stamp it out with...

    Reds 2021

    Hmm I think Stewart will be the one to make way if they want to start Paisami, Petaia, Daugunu and Vuni. Campbell hasn't put a foot wrong in the past 2 games. Stewart had a better game last night than the previous week. I think the difference is in the quality of their replacements. If Campbell...

    Very happy to see Mafi back to his 2019 form after he went off the boil last year. I had him ahead of BPA until last year when BPA pulled ahead by quite a bit. He had a great all round game tonight (except the wee knock on when trying to score, funnily enough when he did cross after that he made...

    Super AU R2 - Reds v Rebels Suncorp Stadium 26/2

    The tap the attempted 50/22 really did me in the opening minutes. Wtf was that? If they had just kicked it out off the penalty they would have gotten the throw anyway. Bizzare.
