Blues v Brumbies Rd 9, Friday 10 April 2015

[Hugh Jarse]

20 minutes gone: Blues 6 (2 PG) Ponies 0

Edit: To'omua getting treatment for a dickey ankle. Not looking good for him for the rest of the game. Hopefully not serious.

 

[Tomikin]

Bugger To'omua down...

Andre Lees, I cannot understand why you have to be the star every game you officiate.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Banana skin for the Ponies.

They're wearing jumpers like the Hurricanes of old, and playing like the Hurricanes of old.

 

[Hawko]

I can't access Fox. Please keep scores coming. Thanks

IMO the ball out not when the halfback's hands are on it, but when the halfback lifts the ball off the ground.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

31 minutes gone. Still 6-0 to Blues. Blues have had the better of the game.

Nic White took an intercept from a 5m scrum for the blues, but they recovered to keep the pressure on the Ponies.

Ponies defence holding so far.

I reckon he's doing a good job.

 

[Tomikin]

Ref the 16th man for the Blues.. Blues 11 brumbies - 0 kick to come..

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Bowden (10 Blue) gets meat 2 phases off a scrum.

Blues 11 Ponies 0.

Kick is good from Bowden, so it is 13 - 0 with the oranges getting sliced in the lunchroom. (37 minutes gone).

Blues playing with purpose. Ponies not being able to get any momentum going.

Blues playing with 2 openside flankers.

 

[Tordah]

Why is Australia's best winger playing in the centres? He's rubbish there, it seems

 

[Tomikin]

13- 0 Blues - To'omua gone.. Brumbies on the ropes..

 

[Bullrush]

CMON BLUES!!

Andre Lees, I cannot understand why you have to be the star every game you officiate.

He must have been to the "Steve Walsh school of refereeing".

 

[Tomikin]

The guy knocks it out of Whites hands and calls a knock on against White

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Will Bernie have a chat with Andrew Lees at oranges?

Ponies have been penalised a lot so far.

The siren sounds. Sir says take a break.

Ponies trail by 0-13 as they head for the Changing Sheds.

It's too soon HJ, too soon and it still hurts....

 

[Tomikin]

Brumbies need to regroup, White shut the fuck up, get the ball to Lilo.. Hit the lineout out and scrums hard.. and I will hit the devils cut hard at half time.

Just hope Mr Lees gives us a fair shake of the old branch.. Larkham should go talk to him.. if NSW can do it with no drama so can we

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

My sources at NORAD tell me they've detected a possible multiple-warhead-gif launch from @Dismal Pillock's secret lair.............

.......... could be a false alarm, I'll keep you posted.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Interesting.
I reckon the Brumbies were lucky not to lose someone to a card on the last try so I'm not seeing the justification for Bernie complaining to the ref.
Mind you I've picked the Blues so I'm probably riding the Brums a bit hard.
