Brumbies v Hurricanes, Canberra

[Ruggo]

I don't think free beer would even be enough to attract a crowd.

 

[rsea]

I think it was on the rugby club they were talking up 40 or 50k to the ANZ game which seemed massive then. No idea on normal numbers but those figures would have to be double the normal?

 

[chief]

I see a crowd of around 30 k max. No chance at plus 30k really.

 

[louie]

They certainly seem to be a long way from "the Real Madrid of Australian Rugby" That we heard about 11 weeks ago. Giteau made a meal of 5/8 on his return.

just out of interest, do you know much about real madrid?

Let's see...Brumbies...Tahs (although they have played better in the past few games, but a dire performance is never far off)...The ANZ Mausoleum...can't fail to pull the punters. 40K tops, and that's optimistic.

 

[DPK]

Yeah, time to start the Tah'ds vs Brumbies thread?

 

[Spook]

Fucking dire. How can a team lose a match with a man advantage for 20 minutes and 70%+ possession.. I have defended Giteau before but I cannot do this now. His form this year is just shit. He doesn't deserve selection in a Wallaby XV.

Last time I saw that was.......Murrayfield last November.

We bombed certain tries in Murrayfield though - that was more suicide versus sheer incompetence. :'(

And we all know what happened the week after that....

I agree completely with that edited version Biffo. Giteau does not warrant selection, this season he has proved that he doesn't deserve selection

Let's not forget Tuquri either, despite his massive pay cheque, Deans left him out because he wasn't performing. Giteau could very well be the same way.

If we had a fit Lealiifano and To'omua, he could be dusting off the bench,
