Brumbies 2018

[Forcefield]

Those murmurings generally come from Rebels fans wanting our players, or Force fans wanting our team in their competition...

Hah! Why on Earth would we want that?

The Wallabies have requested for David Pocock, Allan Ala'alatoa and Scott Sio to be withdrawn from the Brumbies' clash against the Japan Sunwolves at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

Good to hear that the Brumbies are prioritising the clubs future and refusing to withdraw them.

C'maan …

The decision to rest the Brumbies trio has been described as "in the national interest of Australian rugby"​

Canberra is not in Australia. Australia ends at the Gladesville Bridge.

Sunwolves fans eating some horse to get fired up for the Brumbies game.

Totally normal.

True........... I doubt Twiggy wants unwinabble games for his team.

So apparently Cheika only contacted the Brumbies last week about testing them. He had months to work this out but left it right to the end. Piss poor organisation.

Then wants the players playing to prove themselves this weekend:

Really needs to make up his mind.

'Hey, can you blokes rest some of your....'

Thank goodness it finally sorted!

After just over 4 years since they moved in the Brumbies finally they have formal agreement in place with UC. I hope this is the last we hear of this for a long time and its good it provides some security for the future.


The terms have since been adjusted for both parties, who will co-exist on campus and share resources until at least 2043.

Righto - Go Brumbies!

GAME DAY to do list: (12c expected <10% chance of rain)

• Get in early - first 2600 fans through the gates this weekend will get a "moondog" sausage roll to help warm the hands before kick-off against the Sunwolves. The news gets even better - sauce is included.

• For the players entrance: So here's the plan (and we hope the Brumbies are listening): Everyone gets a pair of horse hooves to put on their hands, and then clap in unison like a horse galloping when the team runs out. We'll call it "The Gallop". Rookie Brumbies hooker Connal McInerney came up with the name and we like it.

• The Brumbies will also offer 15 "surprise and delight" packs, random upgrade ticket options, autograph ally and fans on the field after the match.

Not a bad effort by the Brumbies. See you there!

Hope it's not horse meat in those sausage rolls Matt.

I assure you its low grade moondog BR! I believe seasoned with a dash of mixed "multinationals".

Christian Lealifano signed in Japan for the 2018/19 season.

Brumbies looking to secure a dual contract.

How has this not been reported here yet? Did we ban all Brumbies fans from the forum or something?

Because he was in discussions of going back to Ulster but they took too long to sort out their problems over there with the Paddy Jackson and new coach arrangement

Will the game be streamed?

 

[Braveheart81]

Useful number 8.

I'm sure Jordan Smiler will be happy to catch up with some old mates. Another guy with a couple of Brumbies caps on the bench as well.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Smiler is a better back rower than lock imo, but he is an excellent jumper in the lineout, so will be good value there for Sungoliath.

Seems we've come through this period without any injuries, and Peni is eligible again. I've accepted that Lilo is a 10 and that means we need to start thinking about who plays at 12 next year. Should we be giving Peni a go there? I like the Muirhead-Speight-Banks back three a bit too much to change it.

Mate, I am not a Brumbies fan but please don't say that the day before a massive test match. It is asking for trouble!

 

[Braveheart81]

Peni is eligible again.
