The recent wallabies aren't that hard to beat.

Well we beat the reds by 18, only scoring 2 tries. The trick is not letting the other team score, it's a good tactic. Only won by 17 against the Rebels despite scoring 4 tries. Anything could happen, but I don't think a 19 point victory at home is overly optimistic.

I doubt the tahs will have the personnel to go with the brums in this one, although I'm expecting improvement from them. To come close they'll have to kick all their goals, last season lealiifano was on fire early and it kept the brums in touch against "better" teams, the tahs need that now...

Pretty damn good bench.

Yeah but you need to take into account the lineout and scrums which were both pretty damn good.

Crap, I thought I might jinx it. Oh well there are worse injuries and as said we have pretty good cover.

Firstly a great win for the Brums, their forwards out worked the Reds' in the tight and shaded them in the set pieces. The brumbies backs seemed more drilled, although both teams were rusty, the brums just looked to have a real sense of being in the right place without thinking. The reds would...

Yeah but he's 6'5" or so, I'd say he's 100kg at least

Getting pumped for the first brums game of the season, there is no better test as to whether last season was a fluke than to play the Reds. A team who twice made made horses look like Shetland ponies last season. The brums are slightly stronger than last season and the reds are similarly...

Agree about the Brumbies tactics, this was amplified last season with Larkham encouraging the 10 to run beside or through the opposing 10. Totally pumped to see Lealiifano playing again, he got 8/10 MoM awards last season before the injury, hope he can realise that same form again. Aleuia on the...

I think the brumbies will win this. Really looking forward to watching lealiifano again, hope he can be as influential as last year.

I agree, but remember last season about this this time Jake White wanted the English coaching gig? And then it was all a ruse to get the Brumbies club house renovated or something? They're just forcing the issue with Nick White (I assume/hope).

I was simply trying to show how being a regular wallaby doesn't mean you're better than a fringe wallaby. As someone was comparing mowen and Dennis, said Dennis was a regular wallaby therefore better. I would also like to state that Mcalman just re-signed with the ARU.

Dean Mumm, Al Baxter.

Surprised at Dennis being captain, but I suppose the Tahs might have been when Mowen was for the brumbies.

Point taken, just meant that acting bigger than the national team and shopping yourself around, only to come back with your tail between your legs might slap the ego down a few pegs.

Just read it on the Herald. Good on him, bitter pill to swallow. He'll certainly have motivation to play well this season too.

I just want to only have to play NZ in the final, that's what this draw allows for. As a wallaby supporter I consider a loss to Wales or England to be unacceptable. Therefore the draw we got is really all you could hope for.

I thought after we scraped another win against Wales that they might do an Ireland to us at the WC, now they're in our group. Plenty of time before that though and I agree with the sentiment that it's best to have a challenging group to steel you for the quarters. Biggest positive is that now...

This is why you don't go around pissing people off. They've alienated rugby lovers as well as league, no one will shed a tear if they fold faster than superman on laundry day.
