Brumbies Vs Chiefs

[Tomikin]

No Poey No Pulu and maybe no Speight, hopefully we can get a bit more of our groove this week and put the Chiefs to the sword.

Wright didn't get a run last week did he?

 

[Brumby Jack]

No he didn't. Lucas, Hawera and Muirhead were the back subs

 

[Brumby Runner]

Mann-Rea needs to get his lineout throws on the mark. Was picked off regularly last week.

Exciting to see Wright on the bench. We now need Peni to play with some composure and avoid the usual yellow/red cards.

I am very surprised that Samu didn't get a starting run. Maybe he has become the super backrow sub?

 

[Brumby Jack]

^ he's no Ipolito Fenukitau!!

 

[Slim 293]

I hope Peni has spent the last six months learning to tackle..........

 

[Brumby Jack]

^ I heard he's on his....ahem...last chance...

One of the great rugby names of all time that one. I used to love hearing Gordon Bray say it when he was a bit excited.

I assume we wouldn't have even seen him if Pulu or Taliauli were right to play.........

Only at the 'Last Chance Salloon'

He looked alright when he came on in the trials hopefully he learned his lesson, but his well down the pecking order for wingers at the Brumbies..

 

[Up the Guts]

Early contender for try of the year.

Banks with an absolute beauty. How good was the finish

Hopefully given a better chance at national level this year. No substitute for that sort of pace.

 

[TSR]

Great ball Joe Powell. Put it in front of the man hitting the hole.

 

[Up the Guts]

Looks like the early 2000s Brumbies cantering out there tonight.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Chance Peni in after another backline break. 10 gets past the 8 with ease

 

[Strewthcobber]

Where's the advantage there?

 

[Up the Guts]

Don’t yell at the line out is such referee overreach. Let the boys play.
