Brumbies v Highlanders - Sunday 14/5

[Pokinacha]

Wouldn’t be surprised if BR is booing at his computer like the Brumbies fans at GIO Stadium

Wright made a meal of that attacking run. He should have given it rather than gone himself.

 

[The Red Baron]

And Brown crashes over near the posts for the try. Kick is successful and the Brumbies have the lead again.

Burns never released that: even if he wasn't tackled or held he's off his feet so surely can't just get up & go again?

 

[The Red Baron]

What's a bet the Clan will be the next to score now? I have a feeling this game will be a high scoring affair.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Clan will probably stay in touch until they have to go to their bench at which point Brums will kick clear & win by 20+.

Edit: they've now got 2 x loosies playing lock so set piece likely to suffer.

WOB the law is if you not held when your knee touches ground it's not a tackle, that has aways been rule. You have to release when tackled, not when you slip over etc. C.mon mate, I know Turnui is an idiot, but don't ;isten to him!

 

[Dan54]

Have to say this is a bit of fun so far, wish people stop ringing!!

 

[Wilson]

Nic White does not look well. Hopefully not a long term injury.

 

[Dan54]

Have feeling Brumbies pretty close to breaking this open a bit?

Yeah I think the second half might get messy. Clan head into the sheds up though.

Looks to be yet another case of an all-conquering Aussie side getting complacent and underestimating a plucky winless Kiwi side.

Nek minnit they destroy Brums scrum...

 

[griffins]

Some soft d again costing the brums, on the back of cheap penalties in midfield. If they tighten up they should win by 20.

Thank goodness for a few of our NZ posters. It would be very barren otherwise.

I have just about given up on the game threads because of the lack of (even begrudgingly) support from Aussie posters who support other sides. Not even support for another Aussie side, but in many cases absolute vitriol.

I wonder why?

Love how IP has become the buzz term now

I'm so sick of these Aussies sides winning.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

They are going after Frost and making him do some defence which is a lacking area for him

 

[The Marketing Pigeon]

Almost ruling Tom Wright out of the 15 jersey for the wallabies due to his last line defence - prefer the safety of a Petaia or Kellaway
