Brumbies v Force Rnd 4 2015

[ChargerWA]

Could of won that. Dominated last 20 mins. Force scrum solid. Good signs. Camped in the goal line and a pass in the right direction we were over.

I don't think your giving the Brumbies defence enough credit. We went one way and then the other for 20 phases, twice and didn't find a hole.

4 tries to two says it all.

But agree about the scrum and general improvement.

4 tries to two actually...........

To give the Force credit, the Brumbies had only conceded 2 tries in three games............

What a game... Force stuck it to us, and Im happy for the win.. Scrums a war, that's the first time Ive seen Sio, Moore and Alexander not on top, even against the Chiefs and Rebels.. I give the ref a Gold Star, he saw every play in his eyes and explained it.. we should see alot more of him.

And the force should win more then they lose

Tomane speaking a bit better to the media.

Struggling with eye contact, but was interesting to hear from at least.

Nah, way way too much hands in the ruck from players off their feet and when rucks were already established.

I'm pretty sure he did the Bulls v Sharks game last week which was a mess...............

A lot of people criticised Walsh last week but he's better than this guy.

I think Walsh is a great ref, but I dont think this guy was was bad, he spoke well to the teams.. .. I dunno he ref it equal both teams ..

I see a lot of Brumbies players who look good at S15 but haven't delivered at Test level. To'omua springs to mind.

A good effort by both teams tonight. Force were much stronger than in their last couple of games, but never really looked to have the Brumbies' measure. Also, great to get anlother bonus point. So important in determining finishing places at the end of the season.

Thought Nic White was MOTM. Ita Vaea also strong and probably outplayed Ben McC. Rory Arnold continues to impress, and Steve Mafi was excellent. Brumbies' defense on their line was immense, led by Sam Carter who seemed to make a massive amount of tackles. Was probably Tevita's quietest game for close on twelve months. Didn't get a lot of ball, but spoiled one or two opportunities with poor handling. Thought Tomane and Speight were the pick of the outside backs but HB had a good return from injury. Morahan continues to be a big disappointment at Super level. Was Junior's best game I've seen from him.

Scrum was an even contest through the whole game but the Brumbies' forwards were much better in open play. All in all, not a bad game of rugby.

Plus I think put the runs on the board before you pull out the signature hairstyles. Too many sportsman trying to be sporting commodities without laying the groundwork.

You could say that about all the Wallaby players over the last few years. Apart from playing Wales the Wallabies have been quite patchy.

But a lot of Brumbies have been talked up in the media and just haven't delivered so far at test level. In the end the Brumbies got it done over our guys and thats all that counts on the ladder. We need to regroup and realise this season could pass us by real quick.

Moono.........

That's some serious sour grapes-trolling............

Might need some fresh bait?

I see alot of Force players who offer nothing anywhere.. What a dumb fucking statement.. To'omua hasn't been a world beater but has been best for the wallabies and number of times.. least put Godwin in... He what made a tackle..

It was a tough win for the Brumbies but credit must go to the Force for having a real hot go after some less than ideal performances in the last two weeks.

They pretty much owned that second half but unfortunately started their run a bit too late.

Their forwards looked better and didn't rely on McCalman to wear his Superman cape and do everything.

The backs looked better but just need to polish a few things if they want to get back in the winners circle. Some of their play was predictable and some was good in getting over the advantage line - Rasolea one example.

The grubber kicking towards the end wasn't doing much and neither did the flat footed attack when they camped down in the Brumbies 22 that just allowed the Brumbies line to reset.

The Brumbies seemed to put the cue in the rack after the 4th try and a better team may have taken advantage of that and run them down. They did have glimpses of good play with the width used by their backs getting pay.

They have two tough games coming up against Australian opposition so it will be interesting to see how they pull up as it will go a long way to determining the Aus conference make up.

Force have some talent... Plenty of respect to them... Bernie pulled players early to rest for big weeks ahead, at some risk as the force came home strong, excellent defence from the brumbies held thou... Good coaching as bonus points were in the bag..
. Brums dropped a lot of balls which could have blown out the score... Good game, the force playing with key players missing were great... Enjoyed the match... Reds next week in Coke town... Should be a cracker...
Arnold impressed again, tomua and leo were great...tackle by young Dargaville try saver was brave and outstanding well done...

I saw the Spirit make it to the final of the nrc last season. Pity they're not doing too much at super level.

 

[Forcefield]

Better to leave that there guys. It was a good game and both teams put in a fairly good account of themselves. Test rugby is irrelevant right now.

You are so funny
