Brumbies v Hurricanes, 2pm, 01/05

[Dctarget]

Didn't expect to see Banks back so soon. Good for Brumbies & Wallabies. Really strong team, Hurricanes $1.60 favourites unfairly IMO.

What's the deal with Frost and Ala'alatoa - I don't remember them getting injured?

Big opportunity for the Brumbies today.

It was good to see them get the win last week but I feel they still have another gear. Or at least they’ll be aiming to play in a higher gear for longer. Their first 20 minutes was sublime but they took the foot off the throat.

Really looking forward to watching Scott Sio this afternoon. Age wise he should be in his prime and I am hopefully that it has been injuries holding him back, which he is hopefully through. If he can keep up his form from last week Australian rugby just got a whole lot rosier.

Scott Sio to have a blinder... Last time I saw the hurricane's in Canberra we put 50 on them... Here we go again. Brumbies 38 - 16

 

[Dctarget]

hard not to like Brown when he runs like that, what a machine. Brumbies & Hurricanes both looking damaging when ball in hand.

 

[Dctarget]

Fuck Brumbies looking dangerous with every carry, wish some of these passes stuck.

 

[Up the Guts]

White has really stepped it up

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Hurricanes attacking like a league team. Huge number of players in front of the ball carrier.

 

[Dctarget]

Making easy metres though

 

[Up the Guts]

Hurricanes fortunate, Lomax completely pancaked out at the scrum and Berry let them play on. Then extremely dubiously got the throw in to the lineout.

I get a vibe that Berry has the jitters to call anything that will swing things too much. Hard to say the shoulder didn't go right into White's head. Personally I'm happy it wasn't a red, but consistency is all over the place with cards.

 

[Tomikin]

Bugger... We are our own worst enemy... We just need to hold the ball

 

[Dctarget]

Very silly by Brown, now Brumbies early momentum looks deflated

 

[Derpus]

Why is the Brumbies breakdown work such trash? Samu spending too much time on the wing.

 

[Tomikin]

Bobby V ...let's Go

 

[Drew]

If he’s scored that, legendary.

 

[Dctarget]

If that’s a try, that’s scintillating from Valetini

 

[Dctarget]

Fucking brilliant, I’d be telling grandkids about if I were Bobby.

 

[Derpus]

Valetini with the play of the fucking season.
