Brumbies Vs Chiefs

[Slim 293]

Wow, great result........ I've been meaning to write about how impressed I was with Reds last night despite their loss, but I really like the way both these teams played this week..........

That flat passing game to players in a good attacking position........ seemed so obvious from a viewer, but god damn - finally!

I haven’t seen the game, but what a fantastic result, not only for the Brumbies but for Aus rugby generally in a RWC year. I like what I’ve read and seen about CLL, really happy for him and I hope he continues the rage.

Have to admit haven't seen the game in detail, was sitting here having a beers with mate, but geez the even if Chiefs were pretty ordinary, you have to give it to Brumbies they played bloody well, best I have seen from them in last few years!!

 

[Brumby Jack]

The Brumbies best game since they put 50 on the Hurricanes 3 years ago.

I predicted a 1 point win to the Brumbies so happy to be proved wrong by 36 points in that regard.

Tom Banks needs to be starting in the Wallabies backline after that display and Christian Lealiifano wound back the clock with a massive display to setup at least 3 of those tries.

I think this week was about getting the execution of their plays right as you could see what they were trying to do last week but the Rebels pressured them too much and this week, the inexperienced Chiefs side just couldn't match it.

I thought the lineout wobbles were coming back back when Mann-Rea came on but that was the only blip and even scored on his birthday and wasn't it good to see the tries scored around between the backs and forwards.

One observation- the Brumbies kick off receipts/exits were pretty ordinary.

I only mention that because I see that as one of those things that can be easily be turned around in a week.

Add that to the fact that is only week two and the Brumbies have plenty of improvement in them yet.

Great to see Banks in such great form & Lealiifano getting the backline humming.

We are the Champions we are the champions lol..

How good is Banks. Definitely should be ahead of Maddocks for either the 23 or second wing/fullback gig.

Should be fullback with Folau at 14.

Who's 11?

 

[Up the Guts]

Who's 11?

Any of Koroibete, Maddocks, Naivalu, Petaia etc. depending on who is playing well.

 

[Tomikin]

DHP will be one winger

Great win by the Brumbies.

The try that Peni finished where Leali'ifano and Muirhead broke away down the right hand side of the field was special.

Muirhead is really playing well. He plays very physically for someone with his build. Hard to tackle and has a good fend.

Muirhead is probably the best footballer out of all our wingers, not the quickest or the the strongest, but he kicks well catches well fends well everything you want in a winger..

Muirhead

Muirhead is probably the best footballer out of all our wingers, not the quickest or the the strongest, but he kicks well catches well fends well everything you want in a winger..

Plus he has a footballer's brain. He put himself into position to take the pass, when some others would have stayed outside and run out of room.

Finally got to watch it and yep, what a hell of a start for Aus teams with the Brumbies leading the way.

Got to mention the halves - last week I was complaining about Powell's speed and happy with Lea without wanting to call him a good shot at WB10. Wow, what a week makes.

Awesome work Brumbies.
