If you ever played competitive team sport, you'll know that players play for the coach as well. If players don't want a coach, they will not put in, they'll play crap because they know it is the best way to get rid of him. Pretty clear the RG has lost the players in all this. They want him...

Not many backs at the Brums are playing better than McCabe ATM. In form players should always picked in the starting team. Need not to remind people of the 2011 brumbies, when reputations were a key element of player selection.

Agree. Kuridrani's form has been good, but McCabe has had an extra gear when on the pitch. Outstanding in my view.

Fardy & Mogg re-signed. http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby/brumbies-lock-in-wallabies-jesse-mogg-scott-fardy-to-new-deals/story-fndpt9s1-1226917250958

First and best thing to do is to show RG the door. Worrying sign that the administration keeps talking about full confidence - fairyland stuff methinks.

He's only 26 or 27, he'll get back stronger than before. Be a huge loss to Aus rugby if he didn't.

I was at the match, and after 5 minutes I said "holy crap, this is going to be a long night". So I agree that there were too many kicks in the game. Would the Brumbies have won had they played with an open and entertaing style of play? who knows. League games can be a mixed bag. it is highly...

Coming from a hard fought victory vs the Sharks, and considering they'll play the Bulls next, the Brumbies need to put this game away and get the points. Cheetahs will be smarting after their loss to the Force, and will try to topple the travelling Brumbies. Away from home, agaist a SA team...

The ongoing blubber of those keen on entertainment rugby is getting long in the tooth now. Looking at the weather conditions in Canberra on Saturday night, only a team of fools would have tried to play that way, with handling errors very likely at every touch, and the Sharks playing defence and...

We didn't even get the guy yet. Would be the shortest Brumbies' career without doubt. With the holy trinity (White, Toumua and Lilo) secured, and Speight indicating that his contract negotiations with the Brums may be close to completion in the sponsor's marquee before the match with the...

The Crimes reported that cashed up Rebels made a massive offer to a Brumby off contract this year: Tomane? Speight? Fotu?

this is a recurring argument. i guess you need something special to get 15K+ in the stadium. After all, having the smaller population area of all S15 provences in Australia, we might have punched above our weight in terms of results so far. Still hard to get people from under the doona to turn up.

It was ugly to watch, but we took the points - no fan will ever complain about that. I agree that Lilo is a better 10 that Toumua. Two years back, when Toumua did his knee ligaments, Lilo played at ten before his injury in the match vs the Tahs. IMHO That was the best display of a 10 in...

Worst thing you can do as a coach is to play someone out of form because you're afraid of losing them - it spread poison amongts the rest of the squad.

The way they are going maybe the Force don't need Pocock.........

This will be a close match, strong defence on display, maybe not too many tries, so the penalty count and kicks may be crucial. At home, must win game for the Brumbies. Jake White is the past, put away this Sharks side and look to the future (a.k.a. finals). Full trust in Bernie coming up with...

I am aware that this is the Rebels' thread, so maybe the comments below are not entirely focused - but just following on from the posts above. Even if the Brums lose one or two, it will no matter (except for Fardy) - the Brums players reach excellence as they are part of the brumbies system...

How many games has Mogg changed (in positive) this seasons so far, except from the match vs the Tahs

why not start with Chuck at 15, to play solid in defence from minute 1.

Hoodoo ground for the Brums - will need to dig deep to win vs the resurgent Crusaders. But then, if you wanna be the best, you gotta beat' em all!
