Brumbies 2014

[Ruggo]

He got to have a good season first. Wallaby wing spots are going to be bloody competative this year. He got to have a good season before talking his Wallaby chances up.

Like all the wingers even the incumbents. I have the faith in Henry to go all the way.

His availability so late in the Rugby Championship makes his chances of being a Wallaby interesting.

You'd have to think that there would need to be a reasonable injury toll or the team performing poorly for him to be rushed into the side as soon as he is eligible.

A spot on the EOYT sounds most likely but even then he'll be hoping for the incumbents to have a slump in form or get injured to get a run.

I sincerely hope you're wrong. Henry was the top Aus winger in the last two Super comps and led the try scoring for Aus teams in those years. He is also a first rate defender and makes more than one player's share of turnovers. He is a complete package. If he reproduces that form this year in the Super comp, he should at least be in the 23 immediately he becomes eligible, but imo he should start immediately. As good as AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Cummins and Tomane are (or any other non-incumbents), Henry is better.

I will be interested to see how many of the shackles are removed (if any) from the ponies this season.

They did well being very, very conservative last season in a very Bok style.

But without White's shadow .... ......

Yeah - looking for a more attacking style with much anticipation. Forwards will play just as tough and tight with the Lord remaining as their coach, but I'm hoping Bernie will open up the backline even more in 2014. Remember though, iirc the Brumbies were the top try scoring Aus province last year and second (?) in the whole comp. But they have the personnel and talent to play a more 'Aussie' style running game rather than the Saffa kicking game we saw a lot of last year, and if they go this way it just might be enough to take them to the title. Six of the likely first choice backline were Wallabies last year, while one is a Wallaby in waiting and another two were past Wallabies. That's a whole lot of strike power.

Number of tries scored is not a measure of conservativeness. In the Bulls hey day they scored a lot of tries with a conservative game plan. The Brumbies played that style of pressure teams into a mistake and then pounce to great effect.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Much like the Wallabies, I don't mind the playstyle so long as it is working. That said, I quite enjoy seeing other teams frustrated to no end and then suddenly conceding 2-5 tries. Makes their loss to the Brumbies seem inevitable.

It does fail at times, but so does every game plan.

Huzzah!

Former Wallaby forward Peter Kimlin eyes a return to ACT Brumbies

Former Wallabies second-rower Peter Kimlin looms as surprise potential recruit to replace ACT Brumbies captain Ben Mowen next year in a French swap set to revive his World Cup dream.

Kimlin is on the Brumbies' radar less than a year after the Canberra junior quit Australian rugby to link with French club Grenoble.

Kimlin was back in the capital last week and it is understood he has discussed a comeback with the Brumbies.


.........

Kimlin spoke with Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie about his future in the Test team before departing for France.

It is understood he is viewed as a key part of the World Cup campaign.

[RoffsChoice]

He is more than welcome too. I'd say he's a chance for captain too.

 

[Lindommer]

Hope he brings his mate, Palmer, back to Oz with him. But only if Dan's foot injury's fixed.

 

[Tomikin]

Carn Noodles.. his hat would get thrown in at 6/8 for the wobbs probably more likely on the bench.. every team needs an angry ranga

2014 is Chinese year of the horse. Could this be a sighn for the Brumbies?

The element that applies to this year is wood so it's the year of the wooden horse (last year was the water snake).

Given that, if the Chinese Zodiac is correct, the Brumbies will get the wooden spoon this year.

I'm pretty sure he's a THP or was for Southern Districts.

Either that or Brumby Jack will crack a stiffy.

Highlanders beat the Brumbies 15 - 11 (5p to 3p, 1t) in Queenstown. Even game from all accounts.
