RN, I'll be surprised if the Drua dont win a couple of games this year. They had the Brumbies under considerable pressure on their tryline for long periods and also made a few line breaks in open play. Any of which will result in tries against lesser committed defences than today's Brumbies.

Suck it up Adam. Different refs, different interpretations, different game situations. Win some and lose some. Bit like the Reds pulling games out of the fire right on full time when the game is controlled by certain refs.

The national debt he's being paid, he just has to play where directed KOB.

Maybe herald more game time for Hooper at the Brumbies? Different style of player but almost as much promise and potential.

I think there was a try scored by one of the Aussie teams where a player picked the ball up and dove over the ruck to score. Would that also constitute dangerous play?

Little doubt the lineout will be stronger with Nick Frost in the starting side. Also looking forward to seeing CFS in Brumbies' colours.

So,after all, you really have the same approach that I do.;)

I wonder Wilson if you will think the same way next week if and when the Brumbies put 25, 30 or 40 on the Drua? If that were to happen, I would certainly try to account for the lower quality opposition when rating the Brumbies players.

Anstee was very good and FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) has always deserved a call-up.

I think it throws some doubt on the selection of Tupou in the Team of the week and a query on the non-selection of Harry Wilson.

Is a Wallabies (in AR)top up justified if his role is to mentor Tahs up and comers?

I thought Tamati Ioane was especially impressive off the bench.

I am sticking principally with players from the Brumbies and Force because they respectively and respectfully were up against the toughest opponents and put on the best rugby over the weekend. 1. Slipper 2. Kaitu'u 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Swain 5. Rodda 6. Valetini 7. Koteka 8. Wilson 9. White 10...

Pasitoa was very good for the Force but I maintain Noah Lolesio was the best of the No 10s this weekend. Of course, he's another of those pesky Qlders.

IMO, the best game of the weekend. Some really good performances on both sides, and result could have gone either way. Some general observations. 1. Brumbies were more competitive at the breakdown than they have been in recent years. Big change in tactics as far as I can see; 2. Brumbies...

HMM. ACT, Vic, WA and NSW lucky to get a schoolboy in the teams, let alone start to laud them as world beaters.

Never a truer word, Froggy. One State in particular has quite a few posters who routinely talk up their recent schoolboys stars as Wallabies in waiting.

Not only those two. All locks on both sides had strong games. Definitely the best locking combinations in the 5 Aus teams.

LOL :D

I agree that Pasitoa looks really good in the 10 jersey for the Force, but Noah today showed he is still a margin better than any of the competition at 10.
