It does seem to reflect the Crimes reporting from a week ago with the Brumbies indicated he wasn't going anywhere... I imagine if he does re-sign post 2027 it would be a requirement as per Wilson's post.

Potentially Valetini too if he heads to France next year...

I wouldn't be upset if we reversed the trend of recent years, lost to the Hurricanes in the qualifying final and then won the semi final in NZ...

I'm not sure who this offspring of Tom Banks and Jesse Mogg is, but the word is Tom Banks is off to Montpellier...

Eh?

The three winners and top ranked loser progress to the semis… So, if I’ve got this right… Crusaders and Chiefs both win, regardless of whether the Brumbies win or lose against the Canes both teams proceed to the semis… Crusaders and/or Chief lose, the Brumbies must win but host a semi final...

What’s funny about the “it’s rolling backwards” Kiwi apologists is that the ball is rolling backwards until Reece touches it, and then you can visibly see the back of the ball lift upwards as it moves forward from the hand contact, before it rocks backwards again from the prior momentum.

Factually… yes.

It looks like an overall improvement for the Aussie teams… Decision vindicated.

This seems to be a common Kiwi talking point about the incident, but the ball rolling backwards after the fact isn’t relevant to the ball traveling initially forward out of his right hand when he attempts to grab the ball… What makes it more clear cut is his hand is facing forward when the ball...

I thought this was the year tries were being disallowed 20 phases following a knock on? What changed last night?

I’m not convinced he would, unless he transforms into a ball playing 12.

They're referring to those separate SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) team training groups prior to the Wallabies' squad being selected that were fairly meaty... I would expect Stewart and Kuenzle to both be involved as the former was a Wallaby last year, and the latter was listed as not being selected due to injury.

Toole re-signs for another year... https://brumbies.rugby/news/speedster-toole-extends-deal-with-the-brumbies-2025522 The Crimes also reporting the Brumbies seem confident of Valetini being around next year, as he also has an option for a sabbatical in his contract.

Mathematically, yes...

Well, unless you want to get all Helen Lovejoy about it we can only go by the information put out by the Brumbies' medical team which states it's a low grade calf strain which usually takes between 1 - 3 weeks to heal...

It was a must win game, and he will likely only miss the final round game against the 'saders with the Brumbies having a bye this week...
