About this time last year watched Force play Brumbies and saw an impressive and positive performance by a number 8 for the Force in Locky McCaffery. Have watched the Force lose a number of close games this year and whilst their forwards cannot be doubted for their effort they do not appear to...

Maybe your crystal is a little dirty. The Rebel contract does not start till after the super xv season is over with the exception of injuries to existing Rebel players in which case Burgess would be able to be brought into the Rebel squad. The loophole to enable Burgess to be picked against the...

having watched the weekly round up on Fox Crusaders first try shows Crockett being stood up by Palmer and Joubert clearly watching signaling play on when the ball spat out the side. Given his prior and post referreeing of the Brumbies scrum in this game a puzzling call.

you will have to help me out I cannot recollect White being slow to the ruck certainly not 14 -15 times as matter of fact his speed to the breakdown this season has been above any of the Australian halves including Genia

Don't know which games you have been watching but White defends up in the line when I have seen him play and the stats make him one of BRumbies leading tacklers

In comparsion with the Reds Bulls game a week earlier the following statistics were posted on espnscrum Genia ( replaced after 65 min) kicked 10 times Cooper kicked 8 times Total Penalties 23 Brumbies Bulls White kicked 12 times in 80 mins To'omua 3 times Total penalties 26 what I missed in all...

Is an ARU contract required for a selected player to recieve match payments, I believe not. The ARU contracts are for those players who are recieving financial consideration from the ARU. I believe the previous comment by Querty51 was incorrect. This thread is about possible Wallaby candidates...

Interesting, what part of the ARU contract that is being signed in addition to the provincial contract would constitute consideration assuming "top up" means dollars

Looking for a line on this years Wallabies it is hard to go past the recent signings that have been announced. Phipps re signed by ARU for further 2 years, Kepu re signed for further 2 years by ARU, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) re signed for further 2 years. Palmer to France unwanted by ARU, Kimlin to France unwanted by...

Given that both Phipps and Lucas were both replaced during the game by their respective coaches and White played the full 80 mins at least Jake White thinks his half was performing well and IMO NIc Whites second half was quiet impressive

When talking about the gap between halfbacks have a look at last years games between Reds and Brumbies White had very strong games against Genia and in some people's opinion got the better of him maybe the gap is not as great as others think. Lets see how this year develops but I am not sure...

I have no problem with that either what I want to know is if as reported the ARU were not interested in providing Palmer with a top up contract who have they provided them too.

the ACB publish a list of its contracted players can anyone tell me if the ARU does likewise as I am struggling to understand why the Brumbies will lose up and coming players vital to their continued success. I would like to know how many props, wingers fullbacks ect we have contracted at...

Really hoping some consistency and commonsense to prevail with the Hooper citing. In real time the tackle was all about momentum and Vito's desire to go to the ground and lay the ball back. Hooper did not place his hands between Vitos legs and lift and drive. Lawrence dealt with it as it...

Thought White has been very good at organising the forwards this season the 17 phase drive against the Tahs for Andrew Smiths try was strong evidence of a halfback in control. His performance in the Shute Shield grandfinal for 100 mins in greasy conditions against a forward pack of Super Rugby...

Could also be joined by the assistant referee that allowed the two forward passes to Basson for the first try the second of which was directly in front of him.

Don’t know about any journalistic favouritism or last seasons form but White was chosen as the starting halfback for the first game of the season. He had a successful start with a good game against the Force and was outstanding in the opening 30 mins against the Cheetahs when he succumbed to...

Now the Brumbies Media unit has had their lesson in the subtleties of journalism, Bruce may be so kind as to give Rugby Week a rundown on their piece in the earlier post. Thankfully Michael Hooper played or Brumbies players may not have scored a mention. Would like to see some comments from any...

Brumbies have a trial against an ACT xv on the 18th Feb I think

Agree Eatswood forwards were the deciding factor but believe it was a complete team effort which resulted in the victory and that includes the coaching. They played the right tatics, executed well enough annd got the chocolates. Interesting stories from the game included Tim Bennets being sick...
