Not stats, Steve - observations from a biased fan. Not the sort of data any impartial party would rely on. Definitely no credibility at all from my point of view as a Brumbies fan.

1. Sio 2. Lonergan 3. Tupou 4. Philip 5. Frost 6. Valetini 7. McReight 8. Wilson 9. McDermott 10. Edmed 11. Muirhead 12. Foketi (I know he played 13 but Roberts and Nu'u and not eligible, I believe) 13. Ikitau 14. Campbell 15. Petaia Banks was in scintillating form before his injury. Lonergan...

Perhaps the orange card should also automatically attract the Reviewing Official's assessment allowing the on field refs to be a bit conservative with their sanctions.

Fair enough Adam, but how could Banks have put his head in any other position. The neck is some sort of constraint. But seriously, Banks was chasing across field at full pace. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his running style, and I fail to see how he could possibly have his head or...

I've also noticed he has a tendency during the second shove to completely lose his bind with his right arm flailing about in the air. Is that a legal action? As a Wallaby fan I want TT to be the best, strongest THP there is, but I don't want some NH ref to see him as a serial offender and...

No real issue with that D, but Pulu did duck his head towards Banks in trying to beat him on the inside. No problem with what Pulu did. He has every right to try to beat the defender. It was just an out and out accident. No foul play. The red card should not be used for accidental clashes.

Agree KOB, totally accidental collision. Again emphasises the tackler is at least, maybe more, at risk of injury than the tackled player. I think any suspension would be a travesty but the injury will probably keep him out longer in any event.

That F%cking Nic White. Should have been red carded.;)

How is it that the Brumbies lethal weapon, the maul, is suddenly easy for any opposition to pull down and stop?

Rodda lucky not to give away a penalty for playing on the ground after knocking on.

Definitely milked that penalty.

Rodda monstered in the tackle. Typical, has little go forward with ball in hand.

Reckon I can also see some changes in his antics in recent games. How long now since he was gesticulating wildly to the touch judge over almost every scrum? Don't think he did it at all against the Reds. He did however turn towards the touchie (might have been to his own winger) on a couple of...

Pretty sure he also had time with the Aus U20s side. Could be mistaken, but yes, he was a strong performer at Norths.

Tom Wright seems to be more than just adequate too. Doesn't kick very often but seems to be able to get good distance and accuracy when he does.

Tin foil hat time. Happens with opaque processes.

Start of the road trip from Hell for the Brumbies. Perth to Brisbane to Fiji? With a bye week at home before the Drua. Not sure where the Drua game will be played but think Fiji was mentioned earlier on. Force my second team last couple of years and I expect a tough contest but carn the Brumbies.

Perhaps he's just good, full stop.

Not sure if the best 6/8 combination involving Valetini and Wilson has yet been figured out, buy whichever one dons the 6 jersey is the best 6 imo. I would rate our 6s as Wright/Valetini, Leota, Swinton with FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) nipping at their heels.

Mods can the title of the thread be updated to 25 March in lieu of 23 March?
