Brumbies vs Bulls - Round 7 S15

[Blue]

Yes Pierre. The only thing you can take out this tour is that your team is shite.

Time to fucken get rid of Ludeke. I can't watch this shit any longer.

Morne Steyn Piss right off to France tomorrow and take all the props with you.

In real time the call didn't look that bad. If the tackled player had released the ball while Nick White was on his feet it would have come out.

 

[Ruggo]

Ref starting to piss me off.

Do you still hold that view?

 

[Blue]

I sse your ruck penalty against a man who was on his feet to start with, and raise you one Marius Jonker and 7 points from a knock on.

I didn't know tit for tat was how the refs play it. News to me.

What do they agree this before the match?

 

[Blue]

Bad luck Bluey. That was a bad call.

Yeah shit happens. I am more upset about the Bulls steady regression.

Yes, you may wish to read all my posts.

Anyways, not the Brumbies best game........

Scott Sio is certainly now our first choice loosehead.......

Solid debut from the big easy.......

Kuridrani also solid......

Colby Fainga'a, despite his Canberra cheers quad is not good enough for the 22......... Need a lock on the bench.......

Also, does Kimlin's workrate outdo Auelu's effectiveness? Particularly with Kimlin's error rate..........

Probably.

He makes a howler each game but he's a powerful player (ironically probably our best ball carrier in that game) and is a genuine lineout option. I say keep the rotation going. Who you play depends on the opposition.

Although it was always going be Genia, Nic White's still not really close to him at all. He'll be sitting on the bench for 80 mins again probably.

Can someone PLEASE tell Mr. Kearns and every other rugby commentator, with respect to grounding a ball, viz a vie, scoring a try, the word 'control' is not to be found anywhere in the law book.
It is downward pressure if not held or if held putting it down.
Not control, go back to league you imbecile

Law 22.1 (a) Player touches the ground with the ball. A player grounds the ball by holding the ball and
touching the ground with it, in in-goal. ‘Holding’ means holding in the hand or hands, or in
the arm or arms. No downward pressure is required.

Best backup by some distance though. Genia's running game is outstanding.

I did. You answered my question. I should of added a smiley as the comment was more tongue in cheek.

Brumbies got the win but as a team that takes pride in their clinical precision they probably won't be happy with that.

Yeah this, the problem isn't just that are kicking everything away, but the kicking game is poor and the way they line up means that they have no options available to the decision-makers.

Also after about three seconds of the game they should have realised that brumbies were just going to punt the ball back , but never did they get enough guys back behind the ball to at least have the option to counter.

Also they are way too flat in the way they attack. They can't offload, they can't clear properly. It is really shambles.

It's pretty funny how in the last 2 games they needed to score tries at the end, they ran it from their own half (didn't kick) and scored one with ease and nearly scored another through a build up of phases.

 

[ChargerWA]

If Robbie Deans isn't seriously investigating the possibility for George Smith to make himself available for the Wallabies, he should be fired for dereliction of duty.

 

[Brisbok]

Totally.

Very stupid to even risk it though, next ruck could've been a penalty..

Hindsight. Can you really blame them for wanting to win the game rather than draw? Sacrifice one point to try pick up an extra 2?

I'd agree this week was not White's best game - some good kicks, but his service was a bit laboured at times. He has been better, and Genia was oustanding. If both play their best, the gulf is not so vast that White should stay on the pine.

Yes, they were in their own half, if they had it from the Brumbies half by all means have a go. How likely were they really to win? I'd say 10% with the ball in their own half. 40% chance they would concede a penalty with Smith et al contesting the breakdown all night.

40% chance they'd concede a penalty? That's ridiculous. Are you saying the Bulls conceded a penalty 40% of the times they had possession tonight? Are attacking teams penalised more than defensive teams? There's every chance that the Bulls could've taken the ball up 10m, forced a penalty and given Morne a shot at goal to take the win. In the end, the penalty should have in fact gone their way with White playing the ball while off his feet/not supporting his own body weight.
