Congratulations to the Brumbies U19 players and to Dan Hooper and the coaching group.
Must have been most satisfying to bring the Reds' rolling maul under control after the shellacking the Reds gave them in the earlier match. But by neutralising the maul it left the Reds with almost nothing in attack. The Brumbies backs were running riot after the scrum and maul were nullified.
How good is Dillon at game management? Reminds me in shape and form of Rod Kafer at his best. Thought he was the MOTM and looks likely to have a big future at 10 in Aus rugby.
Not sure why Lester Tuitea started at 3 during the season when the Brumbies scrum immediately looked stronger when Percival came off the bench. Think it would have been better to swap them.
Finn Baxter and Lepina Ata were standouts and should start for the U20s. Bailey Buesnel was also impressive and in my book is the next best hooker after Ata.
For the Reds, Tom Robinson was outstanding, just pippingBilly Hansen for best Lock on the ground.
Like to see Dan Hooper get the U20s top coach for next year.
