Brumbies v Sharks, round 13 2014

[Hawko]

I agree.

The Sharks team of the first few rounds with Lambie and Steyn at 10 and 12 was a completely different beast.

They are very one dimensional with Steyn at 10. Lambie mixes things up nicely and people play around him.

There are reports that Coetzee's injury won't be right either. If he's out then the advantage is very clearly to the Brumbies, and a loss against a weakened team would not be good for morale. This is one the Brumbies have to win - for the Chiefs, Crusaders, Hurricanes, Force and Waratahs as well as themselves.

He's already gone home.

I feel like larkham will want to stamp his influence on this one.i can imagine they will both have an idea about each other with White having an advantage. I think larkham will want to surprise.

Interesting - Fotu at 6. Hopefully the Sharks remember how he bashed them up last year. Expect he'll only last til halftime, if that.

yes, but that game last year was over by half time

Whom does McCabe replace when he runs on?

Probably depends how Mogg's going. If he's having a shocker, Pat to 15, otherwise in for Lilo at 12?

 

[Viking]

Always find it strange why they never move Fotu to 8. Is he poor at the back of the scrum?

Yes.

Even when he was wearing the 8 jersey in previous years, Mowen packs at 8 when the Brumbies have the feed.

Smith was doing it mostly last year wasn't he?

 

[Pedrolicus]

Whom does McCabe replace when he runs on?

Anyone from 11 to 15

Yes.

Even when he was wearing the 8 jersey in previous years, Mowen packs at 8 when the Brumbies have the feed.

Acceleration isn't his strong point. But it allows him to drop into the second phase off the scrum, and also to link or wrap on an 8-9 play.

Significantly better looking Sharks outfit with Reinach and Sithole back.

Reinach all round a much better scrummie and the midfield combo can cuase some trouble provided Steyn doesn't pass the ball to their toes.

This is no gimme for the Brums they are going to have to fight like dogs.

All this nonsense about players being upset that Jake White dragged them to Canberra and made them part of a top franchise against their will should stop. I am sure they are all hating the fact that they played a final last year and are line for a final sport this year. I am sure they detest the horrible training environment he made them suffer in. The fact that their breakfast and fucking lunch is served to them every day. That the have the absolute best facilities money can buy.

The media is trying to whip up bullshit. Has a single player actually commented? If so they are nothing but overpaid spoilt brats.

Fox sports is trying their level best in the pregame to whip up this idea that it's a grudge match. Phil Kearns really is a dumb twat at the best of times.

Just piss off. It will have no bearing on the game. The will to win the fucking comp is all these players are thinking about you dumb numpties. One playing two. Get a bloody grip.

Can't decide today who thinks I am more stupid. The rugby press or the Liberal fucking government.

Great run Tomane. Solid start.

 

[BarneySF]

Can't believe F Steyn is only 26. Seems to have been playing for 20 years
