But, WOB, they haven't played any Aussie sides yet. Don't completely write them off.

Just too much kicking by the Brumbies. When you're starved of the ball, it doesn't make sense to kick it away on the odd occasions you do have possession. Tahs' set piece was too good for the Brumbies. How can a real strength wither into a deficiency over the course of one season break?

Rebels just couldn't get their hands on the ball in the second half and started to panic, giving away a succession of quite stupid penalties. They will be better, but depend too much on Mafi. Wessells must have had the same opinion as me on Koriobete's game tonight. He was very poor, missing...

He also had a very bad miss on Lam. Coming from behind, he should have been able to nail that tackle. Also, on a couple of occasions he has been beaten to the ball on the ground by Canes' players who look a lot more intent on winning possession. Both Koriobete and English have been less than...

Banks would be my pick at 13 too. Was just looking for a bite about V-A. Time off the bench coming in to wing would be best option at this time for Verity-Am.

Rebels defense on the wings is just about non existent. If Koriobete continues to play like this, his Wallaby spot will be gone.

Last chance as I see it for Tevita to show some form before a compulsory rest to get his game back in order. Can't wait to see Verity-Am take the No 13 spot. Shiggins might be poorly rated as a commentator, but he has some runs on the board as a talent identifier.

That's exactly my point. We are often reminded that Melbourne is the second largest city in the country (and the sporting capital of the world), but where are the hundreds of thousands of fans that those descriptions should provide?

Must have been tight between McCaffery and Cusack for the No 6 spot. Both pretty good defenders in the tight stuff with Cusack maybe a little better ball carrier and maybe a slightly higher workload. McCaffery maybe a better link man with the backs. Who would be the better lineout operator? I...

If the ball is allowed to get out wide to the Tahs' wings, then it is goodnight nurse for the Brumbies.

In no way am I barracking for the Canes over the Rebels, but I just cannot see the Rebels getting the win. At the moment I think the Rebels will be a match for any of the other NZ sides, but the Canes are a step up in the way they are playing. I do not wish bad things on the Rebels' players...

May the fourth be with you!

Yeah - informed fans looking at the respective game plans. Just hope the coaches pay as much attention as we do.

Can we expect to see Foley/Beale bombing to Folau's wing incessantly?

Has been known to have had a few 10 minute breaks in his games.;):(

On form to date, the Brumbies would need to step up quite considerably to match the Tahs. A win would probably lead to a mass swabbing of the whole team.

I'm sure I saw in the last week that Ardie Savea was injured and will be out for a few weeks.

I reckon you will be right on the money Derpus, although I would like to see changes. I don't want to see the Pooper any more. Select one and at best run the other off the bench. Right now, that would be Hooper in the side and Poey to prove his form and fitness to be considered later. Back to...

Starting to get a chill in the air too KOB. Not at all what the Tahs are used to or like.:)

Tahs have won two and drawn one game so far this year. Brumbies have two wins and two losses. Drilling down into the detail of those games, the Tahs have beaten the Rebels who beat the Brumbies. Reds beat the Brumbies and then lost to the Stormers last week. Tahs beat the Stormers in the...
