Brumbies v Reds Rd 14 Sat 17th May @ GIO Stadium 7.35pm AEST

[Wilson]

McDermott doing McDermott things

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Great support run Ryan. Can have a long career with that awareness.

 

[Ignoto]

Bloody unreal hands by Junkyard Dog there.

 

[Yoda]

All Reds at the moment.

 

[Tomikin]

so you can cleanout to the head now ?

 

[Pokinacha]

Valetini pissing about on the ruck should have been admonished by Berry. More Kiwi behaviour by the Brumbies

 

[Rudderless]

Nice try AA

 

[Wilson]

I'm not a huge fan of throwing the backs in the maul, I'm not convinced it ever makes much difference and potentially leaves you short when you move the ball wide as happened there for the Reds

 

[Wilson]

Surprised they played on so long from that

 

[nathan]

What a fucking joke. Same bloke shoulder charged Valentinis head earlier and didn’t even get a look.

 

[Pokinacha]

Billy gooonnneee that’ll be red for sure. Gotta love the booing from the public wasters, I mean servants

Brial was the one that had shoulder on shoulder with Bobby.

Bryant was the one who had his head taken off by Pollard.

Thanks for the clarification.

Kinda beside the point. Brial should’ve been given a red.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Reds might be blowing some chances but making the Brums do a lot of tackling which is tiring.

 

[Bendy7]

Second poor drop from Ryan Smith so far. Checked out?

 

[Crashy]

as a neutral - this is a good battle.

 

[griffins]

Paisami should really be beating Slipper 1 on 1 in space shouldn't he?

 

[Crashy]

I really struggle ( when it comes to contract time) how players such as Pollard throw the old " yeah I have a background in league / my dad was a mungo' etc etc so I might consider leaving rugby to play DV rugby..
I get his contract is up this year ( duhh) but it treats us rugby fans like shit.

I get its pro-sport but its a bit like, 'So you're just a gun for hire, mercenary who doesnt really bleed for the Brumbies jersey after all'. I wonder what Schmidt / Kiss etc think of a bloke when they say things like that. Surely it removes them in some part from their long term plans? or not..
Anyway - I like him, but he's said he'll leave the game if he gets more $ - maybe I'm old but we need rugby blokes.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Reds have no tactical kicking game today. Asking way too much of the centres and the Brumbies just sit and wait or rush up and smash us. Lots of space in behind.

 

[griffins]

Reds up for it and Bruums look flat though. Would expect Brums to kick clear having absorbed a lot of pressure. Need to go up a notch though.
