Brumbies vs Blues, Sat May 21, 2022, Canberra

[griffins]

Lonergan started last week…

Rotation.

Reckon he's probably been given another reminder that he needs to tidy up his set piece. Couple of absolutely crucial misses in the first half that were a big driver of the half-time deficit.

Ouch Tom Robinson is a big out for Blues , especially with Akira. Thats a lot of bulk on blindside gone, though I will be real interested to see Segner there. Might be missing a lineout jumper?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Immediately thought of you blokes as I was reading that team sheet

Could we have the Ponies team list, please. Too much bulldust on this thread.

Oh you hadn't noticed RN???

Though in all honesty I not sure Brumbies haven't got a bit more depth than a few kiwi teams, I a Canes man, we lose Ardie Savea and would hurt us more than Brumbies losing a player like Valetini by quite some amount I think.

They objectively don't. As soon as Valetini and Lolesio dropped out they got pumped.

Tell me what happened when Canes dropped JB and Ardie against Moana Pasifika!
Oh that's right MPs only win of season.
To be honest I think maybe like Brumbies may just take a week or so to adapt tyle of play.

I would say same with Clan without Nugget and Fakatava, they completely different team seemingly.

But hope you right and Blues do win, and they cover loss of Akira and Robinson at 6, as I think Segner will do most stuff ok, just may suffer in lineout.

Does anyone want two tickets to the game for free? I bought 1 Adult and 1 Junior (5-16 Years), but got the flu now so not going.
Pretty good seats, upper level close to halfway, can't remember which side of the field.
I don't want any money, I'd just rather someone enjoy the game than have the tickets go to waste.

tbh not super confident for this one

- no Rieko
- no Akira
- no Big Red
- no Goodhue
- being played in dreary anti-rugby Canberra
- Bumbreeze with more to play for table-wise
- Blues on the precipice of cracking their alltime win streak which is when Loss Bleus DNA kicks in for.....

"You kind of knew this was going to happen didnt you....."

The Blues both blanked the Chifs in the Tron and spanked the 'Suders in Cheechee without Akira and carrying Riccitelli (ffs). The Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oi Oi Oi Capital Territory My Little Pony Enthusiasts in Ceenbra should be just another speed bump for this fully armed and operational battle station.

The Blues... spanked the 'Suders in Cheechee...

I think you need to take another look at the top left corner of the last gif in @Dismal's opening post...

Dont think you have much to worry about personally.

I'm a bit miffed you lot have gone all ARU 2003 and solved your limp dick centre problems (Havili lol) by recruiting RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) from loig. Straight into the ABs with that lad.

TJ, doing Comms for Tribe v Force, just referenced the Table Topping Blues. Whilst stabbing the proverbial out of his Blues Voodoo DollTM, of course
