Brumbies v Kings - PE, Sunday 3:30am AEST

[Brumby Jack]

Not at all pretty, but a win is a win.

They did their best to lose it with 66% possession. Jaco had his usual game and I thought they'd get done by Peyper cuts, as I've seen before.

It was a game for the forwards and I thought Ala'alatoa, Arnold and Alcock had good games. In the backs, Kuridrani and Speight were the best. 'Kuridrani grubber leads to a try' is not something I though I'd write but there's no column for how tries are scored. Toua's pick up and score was brilliant.

The Kings had that to win but the poor cross field kick from Cronje when up 10-5 cost them.

I'm still waiting for the clear and compelling evidence that the pass leading up to Arnold's try was forward.

Same

Happy for the win and can't say I enjoyed the reffing. The disallowed try for a forward pass looked stiff, and there was an offside given against the Brumbies as the scrum was destroying the kings, just to pick on two things.

Even some SA journo's thought that was harsh. That's saying a bit.

Holy sheeeeeiiiiiiit...

Kuridrani kicked the ball... and it led to a try!!!

Loved it. He was just doing all the things that Godwin can't!

Toua great, Banks not quite so

Alan A was huge - better fit for the Wallabies than Keps. Alan should start and Keps on the pine

Can't agree Scrub. Banks put in the best No 15 performance the Brumbies have had this year. He was invariably in the right position to take the Kings' kicks in general play and his defense was strong. I also thought Toua looked better on the wing than at 15. Hopefully Larkham persists with Banks at the back and that he plays as well or better with more experience in the side.
