Foley spanks an attacking kick over the in goal line. Rare and bizarre error.

I can't believe gregan didn't get hit more as a player.

Phipp's looked like someone shat in his cereal

Nadolo-yavoro

Don't forget Lealifano has been playing outside Dowsett for three of those matches. Also no Kuridrani for two and no Sio for any of them. He can't win matches on his own. While playing fly half with a rookie scrum half and an unsettled back line he's still looked pretty good.

So any more predictions? I'm going for the brumbies in a landslide. My reasoning? They're very hard to beat at home and after the toweling they got at Sydney they will be ready to redeem themselves, especially Kuridrani who was dreadfully exposed, having his worst game in memory. Mogg didn't...

Do you think this is because of the speed the ball is expected to be extricated from the maul if it's not moving forward? Also the lack of time given to get the ball out of a collapsed maul? I think the forwards are paranoid about losing possession if they don't "use it" fast enough.

I like the insinuation that the brumbies maul is so dangerous because Robbie Coleman is allowed to bind in front of the ball carrier.

Also the media's reason for bad blood has been decided: "the Jacques Potgieter affair" I'm just glad we've moved on from the Dublin thing. But it's silly to imagine that tahs and brumbies need special motivation to hate.

When was the last time either team won away in this fixture? Seems like regardless of form the home teams always win, it's normally close though.

Agree, it's how I imagine Rugby is in North Korea.

That was tough. Gill obviously not trying to get in the way. Penalty for sure, but yelllow is rough.

Penalty for not releasing, but what was wrong with that clean out?

O'Connor doesn't spend 45 minutes in front of the hairdryer every day to get that kind of treatment.

That scrum pen looked a little harsh. Rebels scrum looks good.

I wonder if Skelton ever played the school yard game called brandings? Beale certainly has.

Hooper emulates Pocock sans jazz hands.

Welcome to rugby union (it's not touch).

Landers are in trouble. There's a stronger front row on the bench for the brumbies, plus the best lock and the most consistent back rower. That is, the best 15 have yet to take the field for the brumbies.

I think having TK back will make a big difference. As long as he's actually fit it distinctly changes how our back line can operate and gives Speight, Coleman and Mogg more space to wind up their wheels. Mogg if nothing else gives the Brums a territory advantage they lack without white, having a...
