Brumbies v Highlanders Rd 7 Friday 28th Mar @ GIO Stadium 7.35pm AEDT

[Derpus]

Jesus. Wake up Brumbies. It’s the fucking Highlanders

Simply not enough size in Australian backlines. Nareki is making 20-30 metres every carry. Toole and Muirhead may be decent (ish) in attack but they cant defend wingers who have 20kgs on then.

Ref also can’t tell the player he’s faking it.

The egos on some of these guys.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Not sure the ref is going to get too many plaudits for getting upset with the medics for telling a player to take a knee so that he can be assessed for HIA.....

Even if it's pretty clearly to get said ref to have a look at the blatant no arms tackle he's missed

 

[Derpus]

Toole makes up for it at the other end with a clean finish.

63 min
Brumbies 20-19

Jack D should have converted that. Might be a critical 2 points.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Brumbies seem like small side with the guys on the field atm. Bowron looks 10kg too light.

Might have the running in them I guess.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Nostalgic there from Wright

 

[cyclopath]

Brumbies are uncharacteristically disorganised.

Its an issue common across the Aussie sides.

I don’t know about that. He looked like he forced Van Nek to move from pressure. I’d be filthy I was Joseph. They won all 3 scrums there and ref gifted it to the Brums.

 

[Rudderless]

10 to go

Highlanders 22-20

 

[Derpus]

Another big play from Toole there.

 

[cyclopath]

Good hustle to get that 5m scrum. Come on!

Loose head is angling in on all scrums. That's why it keeps shifting off to the right. LH has to push straight

(He did it again on the scrum before Muirhead try)

 

[cyclopath]

Well-worked try. Now they gotta hold on.

We need this analysis on the tele, honestly. If they want us to care about scrums, anyway.

It’s exactly what Goog said.

Understand if you zone out when Googs mouth opens.

Must have missed it.
