Brumbies v Crusaders 7.45pm Friday 13th Canberra.

Since when? They both finished the match fine?

The Brumbies are confident they can defy injuries to superstar duo Rob Valetini and Noah Lolesio as they prepare for the Crusaders.

Valetini's injury is the most serious of the duo, with coach Dan McKellar expecting him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks after picking up a hamstring complaint.

Noah Lolesio is expected to return next week, with Valetini set for a period on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury in the Brumbies 38-28 victory over the Chiefs in Hamilton.

Its going to be a tough(er) ask without our best player and starting 10.

Since when? They both finished the match fine?

Since they didn't get picked and Brumbies said they were injured

Well that's just about ruined this match.

Well that's just about ruined this match.

Yeah going to be tough, let's just hope the evil empire has an off night and we get home at home.

Also looks like we will lose Bobby against the Blues as well.. that sucks I was hoping to knock them both off and finish first.

 

[Tomikin]

No Kautai either ...hmmm

 

[Dan54]

Valetini is a big loss, the best 6 in the comp I think. Noah I also reckon has been playing ok, and will be loss.

Basically unless they get caught with a few more case of covid (entirely possible) you would think aprt from Drummond Crusaders will be close to top line up.
So got the makings of a good one.

Typo? "Got the makings of a good win"?

 

[Tomikin]

Typo? "Got the makings of a good win"?

I guess we would expect the team without Valetini and Lolesio to knock off the Tah's so I suspect a good win is on the cards.

Bummer about Bobby V - he's been absolutely red hot in recent weeks.

 

[Tomikin]

Brumbies all over them try time well done

 

[The Nomad]

Anyone else kick for goal?

 

[Tomikin]

Fuck me dead Iona... Took fucking ten months to kick that

 

[The Nomad]

That was a bit shit …… why didn’t White clear it ?

 

[KOB1987]

Great catch Banks, pity he followed it through with the worst ever kick.

edit: which ultimately led to that CRU try

 

[Tomikin]

Fuck me dead Brumbies making it to easy for them

 

[Happy]

That’s 14 points Iona has gifted them so far

 

[Tomikin]

Fuck Angus... He was on the ball for so long till he ended up off his feet.. only happened because they didnt release the fucking ball

 

[Dctarget]

Are Brumbies a chance of having a home final? Does this result matter?
