Brumbies v Hurricanes, Canberra

[Ash]

Yeah apart from that try Phibbs has not been good.

Bloody Moore seems to be heading back to his old self of giving away loads of stupid penalties.

 

[Ash]

Huxley has been good too. A good Huxley run allowed Giteau to find a hole in the next play and the Canes lucky not to get another penalty against them for a high tackle. Admittedly some of the earlier high tackle calls were harsh.

Canes still up 6 to 3. But when theCanes have the ball they are causing the Brumbies all sorts of problems.

 

[Ash]

That was a fucking stunner of a try by the Canes. Brumbies are going to be in some real trouble.

Cruden converts. 13 to 5.

 

[matty_k]

13 - 5 'Canes. 50th minute.

 

[Scotty]

The Brumbies will only win this game if Huxley goes to flyhalf and Giteau plays a roving role from FB.

Giteau is showing he is not a flyhalves arsehole at the moment. He doesn't deserve to be in the 30 man wallaby squad on this showing (nor on the rest of the years showing).

 

[Scotty]

so then he scores a try.......

 

[matty_k]

Gits crosses on the right after a few phases but he misses the conversion.

13 - 10 'Canes.

 

[matty_k]

so then he scores a try.......

I wasn't going to say anything.

 

[Ash]

Giteau scores after the Brumbies blew a heap of chances by keeping it in tight or the first receiver hitting it up. So frustrating that the Brumbies just can't get it right until Giteau finally just managed to dive across.

13 to 10 now. Canes blow the kick off.

And yeah Giteau just isn't a five eighth at this level. He was better at the Force two years ago.

 

[Ash]

Giteau makes another half break when standing at second receiver. He should stay there.

Moore off Edmonds on with twenty to go.

Phibbs with a shocker kicks it out on the full.

Fucking roll away you clowns. Smith with an idiotic move.

 

[Ash]

By my count both kickers tonight have kicked a combined 3 from 6.

Commentators just confirmed

 

[Epi]

Giving points for this game is going to be a tough ask...

 

[Ash]

Edmonds carded for being an idiot and not rolling away. Seriously. Idiot.

Cruden kicks one. 16 to 10.

Brumbies are fucking awful right now

 

[Blue]

Cruden is singlehandedly keeping the Brumbies in this game.

 

[matty_k]

This game isn't exciting at all. The only way the Brumbies will be getting a bonus point is if they lose.

 

[cyclopath]

This game is comically awful. If the Brumbies cannot win this, they are a lost cause.

 

[Ash]

Hah Brumbies denied subbing on Moore illegally at the lineout and Maafu throws a beauty.

This game is just error ridden and won't flow. Giteau kicks a penalty and it is 16 to 13 68th minute.

Huxley has been close to the best fo the Brumbies.

 

[rugbywhisperer]

This is really embarassing - well at least it leaves the door even further open for the Reds to move ahead of the horsies. Go Reds/Tahs/Wood/PiratesBreakers

 

[Ash]

Game over. Vito in after Kaplan appeared to say knock on but he actually was signalling knock back. Touch and go but Kafer said it was right. Hard to tell but I agree with Marto that you can't blame the ref for that one.

23 to 13 with 7 to go.

Moore finally gets back on as Edmonds is still in the bin.

Brumbies still making mistakes.

 

[Epi]

Real Madrid my arse....
