They just interviewed Holmes and he said it was just a knock and he's right to go. Scratchy game, as always is the case but I think Taumopeau could be a useful midfield reserve this year.

Canes TO ball and are exposed out wide with Brumbies backs on Canes fatties and Taumoepeau is over for the try Brumbies up 28-14. Edit. Brumbies win

Nonu throws a huge cut out pass that puts all sorts of pressure on Ellison and Brumbies scoop it up and through Salvi and Phibbs Brumbies score.

Just took literally 3mins to do a scrum. One fan was giving it to the ref. Brumbies have TO'ed the ball far to much.

Phibbs makes a nice run, then the ball is turned over. Ty Smith and Nonu having a bit of a wrestle off the ball

Crowd erupts as Rattlebones makes a break through traffic, then gets crunched in a tackle.....he's up though. Still 14 all with 15 mins to go

Drinks break This Shawn MacKay kid is a big unit and seems to be getting around the park well for the Brumbies. Just heard Holmes may have hurt his knee, but it may not be serious. He didn't return after HT.

Canes get great ball OTT of the LO and drive the ball 35m through backs and forwards. 10m out and a grubber kick (dumb). Brumbies ground ingoal and 22 drop out. Canes doing most of the attacking over the past 6-7mins. Perched down on Brumbies line.

Excellent interchanges by the canes fatties to set Guilford up for the try in the corner. Now 14 all

Big scrum 10m out by Brumbies and ball is cleared well. Ty smith crashes it up and recycled quickly and Benn Alexander crashes over for a good try. To'omua knocks over conv and Brumbies lead 14-7

Nonu makes an immediate impact, splitting the defence, taking the ball into contact drawing 2 and then offloading to Corey Jane for the try. 7-7

HT and Brumbies lead 7-0. Holmes playing well. He's made a number of runs even fending off Canes loose forwards. He seems to have a decent step but not great pace. Ty Smith and young Taumoepea have put in some bone crunching tackles. Hoiles has made a few runs and has looked likely. Brumbies...

holmes gets first try after a nice break from ty smith and offload to lealifano. Gerrard converts

Fatprop - don't you think Tahu will be given every opportunity in a 12 jersey this season rather than at centre? Who was the young crashball type midfielder the Tahs used last season? He seemed a good prospect, except for a limited passing game. Have the Tahs utilised the selecting an overseas...

As opposed to your English and comprehension skills :fishing I think Cooper has been on a very steep learning curve over the past year or two. I think with time he will develop into more than just an average player. While surprised to see his name in the paper, it wasn't totally unexpected...

Not at all. More just a jibe as posters were probably expecting a Canterbury/Saders fan to write something about a Cant/Saders player :) I've been one of Nonu's biggest supporters over the years, even to the point of arguing his qualities against all the naysayers. I guess I didn't have...

Robbie comes down from the coaches box and laces up the boots...... I think OZ fans should be pleased to see the Morty/Cross midfield in there. Both smart players that love to run straight. Cross is a deceptive player and he does have speed to get outside of most centres going, so I expect him...

PB - yes first post on TYS about that test. Made one post on TSF as well. I really like JDV's game. In this years S14 I think what he showed in his play and leadership a step up from being just a goodish player, to a genuine star of the game. I think he has a good mix of running straight with...

Exhibit A - Justin Marshall. I think LB has the mechanics of a good pass and he can still work on the speed of it if he is to be the long term option. He may not be though?? I think he brings a robustnesss to the halfback spot for OZ and thats something that hasn't been sen since Gregan had a...

There is no way Tahu should be starting test matches against tier 1 teams right now. He is a bench player at best at the moment. Starting a test match is so different to coming off the pine. Naza used the word composure or lack thereof, and starting a test and soaking up the pressure in that...
