That was an intense game.
Can see why it was called test match like.
Brumbies scramble defence was fantastic. Nic White was everywhere. Tom Hooper looks a good prospect - mobile and big frame.
For the Blues Sotutu really stood out I thought - particularly with a lack of bulk at 6 to support him.
The ref? Cripes - pretty poor form to allocate a top of the table clash to Damon Murphy - he's simply not up to that level of game.
When you look at the match stats Blues dominated territory possession, run metres and defenders beaten. Brumbies did well to slow down the Blues ball and it very nearly won them the match but they were on the back foot a lot of the match - how many Blues held ups over the line was there? 5?
