Brumbies v Highlanders Super Rugby R5 2012

[Tordah]

Man, the Brumbies are clinical.

 

[Tordah]

that Hooper kid looks to be your Pocock backup, eh

 

[The Red Baron]

Brumbies are doing a lot with only scraps.

Hooper is killing it at the breakdown, the Highlanders just don't have an answer to the havoc he is causing. Lealiifano is having a cracker as well.

Hooper is quickly establishing himself as Pocock's backup...

I'm already here. Honestly, I think Hooper and Gill are on par with each other.

Isn't it great to have a good crop of young talent coming through.

 

[qwerty51]

Hooper!

 

[Slim 293]

If the Brumbies win this it's because of Hooper...

 

[Slim 293]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[p.Tah]

Yes! Well done Brumbies

Jake White working magic, really good at the breakdown and set piece.

Awesome match by Hooper. Loved the attack we displayed tonight, just need to fix that defense up the middle which was gifting meters although the Highlanders were brilliant to exploit it.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Fantastic result for the Brumbies. Well played fellas.

 

[Dumbledore]

Hooper was monumental. Player of the round.

 

[kiap]

Great result for the boys!

 

[Blue]

Got to love this Brumby team.

Enthusiasm. Fooking brilliant.

Three forwards were bleeding like bastards after the last ruck. Made me feel like running into something.

 

[Mank]

Enjoyed this game. Well done to the Brumbies, good to see them crack the Highlanders streak.

Just a point though, for one Highlanders try (their #12), I believe that was a tackle by definition of the laws. Brumbies player had his hands on the #12 when his knee came into contact with the ground. Whatever happens after that is irrelevant, and should be blown strictly if we want players to roll away quickly. Bad call.

Great work by the Brumbies, I really didn't expect them to get up over a very impressive highlanders outfit thus far...

Also a great season of rubgy so far with some very tight games in terms of the scorelines.

 

[RedsHappy]

Go the 'new' Brumbies. What a fabulous win!

As it always is and always will be, talent chosen and then liberated by fine leadership, coaching and selection.

And the cleaning out of the forces of mediocrity.

Credit must be given to a heretofore fragile ACT RU, in 2011 nearly on its last legs, having the courage and decisiveness to invest in new leadership and proven competence.
