So you don't want to do a pre-match meet up with any of the locals, eh?

As an aside, if you're coming along to the match the ACT Vets are playing the Navy Old Salts in the curtain raiser. Kick-off is at 5:30pm.

I live in NSW and it will be a cold day in Hell before I ever support the Waratahs.

That is Alex Cuthbert. Poor bloke fell out of the Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down.

I don't have anything more to add, other than Poite is a twoite.

I'm happy with the selected team. The key will be the use of subs, as the Chiefs demonstrated in the Super Rugby final the skilful use of subs can be a game changer. Really pleased to see Matt To'omua in the starting 15. I first met him when I went to South Africa in 2008 to see the Brumbies play in...

Kudos to Blue for his sterling effort to make the Bulls the underdogs.

Just a pedantic correction Hugh, having gone there for a Bulls v Brumbies game in previous years, Loftus Versfeld is in Pretoria not Johannesburg. BTW, love the new nickname for the Crusaders 'the Whitelocks and Friends'

The band is part of the group of UC students (I think they're called the rUCkus crew) that have the "I have a Rathboner" banner. They have done a great job in adding to the colour and atmosphere of the Brumbies home games this year.

The crowds have been averaging 12-14k for the Brumbies and around 8k for the Raiders. The biggest crowd this year was 20k for the Centenary long weekend match against the Tahs.

Normal capacity is around 25,000. Ground record is 28,500 for the 2004 final when extra temporary seating was put up. As Merrow said, the crowd made more noise than some larger crowds we've had at the stadium. Don't agree with the booing of the opposition kicker, I think total silence would be...

Just got home from the game. The Brumbies won because they went for the points when they had the opportunity, the Cheetahs went for the try when they should have accumulated points and they paid the price. The moron supporters calling for the try should have realised that when the Brumbies ran...

No such thing as cold, only inappropriate clothing. I have five layers for this afternoon and thermals under my jeans, plus beanie, gloves and scarf. Only a couple of thousand turned up for the Raiders game last night and on current ticket sales the Brumbies are estimating around 17,000. Maybe...

Great effort by Samo but the rub of the green isn't going with the Reds tonight.

I reckon the Brumbies will recover from last weekend's yips and win by at least 6. It will be a tough battle in the forwards but I think the teamwork there will be better after the disruption of the break for the Lions tour.

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a maximum of 6 for Canberra on Sunday. This winter storm is getting the weather nerds on ski.com.au excited, one said after the latest run of the models that he was going home to fap.

The UC students have been having some fun in the lead up to the game

You should come and join the Sun Peaks crew. I'll be there from 22 December to 9 January. But we digress...

The bad day is going to be Saturday and it may be clearing a bit on Sunday in Canberra, but still puking down the white goodness in the mountains :woohoo:

I'm a bit more active over there, understandable given I am a part-time instructor. I think a ski thread on this forum is a good idea, seeing we talk rugby on the ski.com.au Sports Bar forum. I hope you're a Thredbo skier, Blue.
