Except for that other Wallabies right wing last year.........

I finally got around to watching the game......... A frustrating one for the Brumbies, because unlike the previous matchup I felt that they seemed to actually be the better team for a large part of the match, but this year they're just not closing out matches like they used to........... And...

I hope the Tahs’ fan enjoys a good rolling maul.........

OFFICIAL G&GR SUPER AU TEAM OF THE WEEK ROUND SEVEN: 1. BELL (Waratahs) - 1 selection(s) 2. FAINGA’A (Brumbies) - 1 3. TUPOU (Reds) - 3 4. HOSEA (Rebels) - 4 5. NEVILLE (Brumbies) - 5 6. SINCLAIR (Waratahs ) - 1 7. MCREIGHT (Reds) - 5 8. HARRIS (Waratahs) - 1 9. GORDON (Waratahs) - 1 10...

He probably thought Rennie was lucky not to have to go up against such test titans as Scotland or Samoa.........

drew, I largely agree but I think you’ll find that DC brought up ASY (Angus Scott-Young), I agreed.......... and Adam couldn’t resist mentioning his favorite obsession............. It was all fairly predictable. Anyways, I’ve made my contribution and glad to move on...........

Yes, it amazes me that using two games as your data pool, which includes the one we all universally agreed he wasn’t particularly good in, reflects so poorly......... But as the Stan commentary displayed, Valetini makes a lot of post contact metres.......... go figure? And no one is disputing...

Cool, but those stats don’t reflect how physically ineffective ASY (Angus Scott-Young) is in almost every aspect of play............. There’s no comparison between the two. Like I said, a whole lot of not very much.

I think the main problem with ASY (Angus Scott-Young) is he seems to do a lot of not much........ sort of Ned Hanigan-lite, but at least Ned was a pretty good Super Rugby player.

Nah, I was not happy with Valetini, but ASY (Angus Scott-Young) was terrible......... and looking at the match thread I'm not alone in that assessment.

Round 7 was an odd one......... 1. Bell (Waratahs) 2. Fainga’a (Brumbies) 3. Tupou (Reds) 4. Hosea (Rebels) 5. Neville (Brumbies) 6. Sinclair (Waratahs) 7. McReight (Reds) 8. Harris (Waratahs) 9. Gordon (Waratahs) 10. JOC (James O'Connor) (Reds) 11. Koroibete (Rebels) 12. Foketi (Waratahs) 13. Paisami (Reds)...

This has got to be a troll......... Based on tonight's game, I would pick Joe Powell over ASY (Angus Scott-Young) at 6, despite his limitations in the lineout..........

A pretty forgettable game for Tom Cusack.......... two yellow cards that became red, and the opportunity for the Tahs to score their final try, and also turned the ball over at the back of the scrum not long prior to that which almost led to a Tahs try. I also felt the Brumbies kicked way too...

Neville.

FF (Folau Fainga'a) came off early in the second half, and I thought it was his best game of the year so far during that period, and outshone Poreckie in that first hour.......... Neville was huge for the Brumbies.

That'll learn me for copy and pasting from last week..........

Professional athletes? Ah shit, it's still April 1 somewhere in the world.........
