Ok, relax guys, I found your Defence! It was in the lost baggage area, but don't panic, plenty of time! Did I get here before the game started? Oh bugger!

:rolleyes::oops:

Well must admit other than the kicking duels which I find hard to believe was the gameplan for the Rebs, I enjoyed the game. Players of note Robinson, Fuglistaller, Stirzaker, Woodward, English, Mitchell. WW overplayed his hand and will learn from that, but damn he's developing into a great player. There will be men in the land of sheep ruing their decisions this year.

How was that counter-play try?!

For the Brumbies Sio, Fardy, To'omua, McCabe, Kuridrani and Mogg were stand outs for me. Oh and Holmes. Did I mention Holmes? Can't see him getting splinters next year he has reached a new level.

Really classy last 40 from the Brumbies after a fairly tight battle first 40, good job Brumbies and gl with finals.

The young brumbies players stepped up, I'm not a kimlin fan but he played the house down, while I still have hope for the reds, it was good to see the depleted brumbies close it out

Peter Kimlin deservedly motm. Has been playing better all year but this effort was outstanding. He is the in form 4/6/and now 8 in the Aust conference. Would not be out of place on the bench for the Wallabies.

Sio, Siliva and Smith were also on top of the Rebels' front row. Could be good for the 2015 WC. With QC (Quade Cooper) out of favour, Matt To'omua is the best 10 going around, and has been all year. Despite his inexperience at test level, he would be the best option for the Wallabies.

Must be more than just luck the Brums will finish on top of the Aust Conference. About time some more of their players got the recognition they deserve.

Brumbies where to good, missing Pyle, Higgers and Saffy really left the forwards on the back foot.

Was nice of the Brumbies to do a presentation for Hendo after the game, he could barely talk he was so emotional about his last game in ACT having spent most of his career in ACT.

hilgendorf was also horrible
telegraphed everything he did. but then again he hasn't been playing super level all year
will be great to get a rest and have a better team out there for the lions match.

I haven't caught enough of the Brumbies matches, but thought To'omua looked fantastic. It's a rare package to have pure flyhalf who can kick, pass and tackle like he does.

While the kicking game was painful to watch, Mogg and To'omua were streets ahead of the Rebels back three. Woodward and Mitchell had nothing to offer in response to the barrage.

Looking forward to seeing him and some of the other young guns getting game time for the Wallabies this year.

Was lucky enough to win a prize and be able to sit on the bench with the brumbies on friday night. Was great atmosphere down in the dugout especially due to the high scoring affair. Had a chat to injured centre Andrew Smith, good bloke. Brumbies should be strong contenders in the final series but i predict them to fall short in the big one and finish 2nd.
