Brumbies v Bulls - Rd 16, 29 May 2015

[BDA]

I thought Sio was pretty decent in his first game back. His play around the park was very good. His scrummaging was a mixed bag, but to be expected after so much time out facing a strong scrum

 

[abcde]

Against a solid scrum, Sio definitely pressed on with a point to prove

Well done Brumbies!

Good to see Henry hitting some form, if only we gave him the ball more. Big Joe is still playing strong as well

A good return for Sio with some strong ball running and dominating his side of the scrum...........

I thought the Brumbies were hard done by on some of those scrum calls for not keeping the scrum stable........... while clearly guilty for some of them, the Bulls were not taking the pressure.............

And I've been a big defender of Nic White this year, but the kick at the end, and unnecessarily repeatedly slowing down the ball did my fucking head in.

Impressed with the Brumbies that put their hand up tonight... Speight , Scott Sio , Pocock , Tomane and Fardy who I like the more I see him . Lilo needs his kicking mojo to return and back in position once To'omua gets back . A tough win , well done ...

 

[Brumby Runner]

But according to the scribes and oracles, Tomane is no good under the high ball. I must have been imagining that he soared high to take 4 or 5 kicks tonight.

And once again I've gotta say.......... Mogg is playing exceptionally well.

Lilo is in his position at 10, I think against the Lion's having To'omua at 12 was actually going well till he hurt his (other ankle). He brings the big robust defender and second play maker we need. Mark my words they should stay that way.

Been saying it for the last two seasons mate.

 

[Tomikin]

You put a big hard ball runner outside Lilo and watch him shine. To'omua ain't no Pat McCabe but he hits the line hard and straight.

As I said earlier I love Robbie but his a wing or fullback

 

[Dewald Nel]

There goes our playoff chances.

Not that we were kidding ourselves - we never had the coaching staff to win the tournament anyway, so whether we finished 6th or 10th is highly irrelevant.

 

[Joe Blow]

Christian really needs to practise different approaches and run up to the ball until he finds a method that keeps the ball straight. He cannot control the swing he is currently getting. either hook or slice.

He was hooking and slicing every kick??

or half back.........................................

He's a classy player, the brums increase their chances in the post season if he's on the field.

If Moggy's out then it will be a precursor for next year. The Brumbies desperately need another No 15 and that's not Robbie. Due to his lack of size, Robbie's best spot is off the bench.

How lucky Nigel Ah Wong was on the bench as outside backs cover. When they ran out of forward replacements he simply came on and played where he had in his years in QLD.

Joe Tomane was especially strong under the high ball last night. Don't think he spilt a single one. Moggy, on the other hand, dropped at least two iirc.

Jordan Smiler was excellent again off the bench, scoring tries, disrupting mauls, hitting the ball up and in defense. He will be missed next year.

Jordan Smiler has had a cracking year.. he sacked a couple of mauls I believe scored a try and has a massive beard.. topshelf game..

Just want to acknowledge again what a good referee van der Westhuizen is. He is in control and doesn't get flustered when silly business takes place. He seems to have a good grasp of the laws and how to administer them to the advantage of a good game. He talks with the players often and seems to engage in a bit of humourous by play with them (on both sides). I am very impressed with how he has gone this year.

Tomane or Lilo?


Lilo took half a dozen high balls last night from the wing, where he was positioned as a receiver.

Tomane took some absolute crackers as well.. both been good under the high ball
