Big Brodie had a forgettable 100th.

Got to say. This has probably been the best start to Super Rugby across the board for several years. Hopefully the crowds and viewers begin to really reflect this. The Brumbies certainly deserve substantially more.

I missed three Brumbies games and a Reds game in the iniital search
Last one was Brumbies 50 v Highlanders in 2004 (WRONG AGAIN! Thanks BR) and still the record is Brumbies 55 v Chiefs in 2003

Yeh the try they disallowed should have countered as was for retiring forwards from other side of the field not in play getting back onto side - that would have made it with conversion over 60 points

Just to clarify, when Christian is kicking well, he is as straight as a die. Tonight, there was no fade.

On lilo I thought he might be past it (after returning from illness and in fairness just to get back after this always was a huge achievement). On tonights performance made me rethink that.

I'd reckon it was the Brumbies v the Hurricanes first game 2016 or 17.

Great game by the Brumbies. Lokks like taking up where they left off last season. Now, they just have to keep it up.
Rory Arnold bested Retallick tonight. Arnold's control of the maul, whether attacking or defending, is pretty to watch. For that alone, he should be a starter for the Wallabies, not forgetting that he is regularly at or near the top of lineout technicians as well.
Christian was playing so much flatter tonight and it really opened up gaps in the Chiefs' defensive line. Learnt a lesson from Quade last week.
Simone is playing a very valuable game at 12 too. His line kicking is just so much better than any other in the Aussie teams, including Quade.

Don’t know where you were viewing mate, but our whole bay was jumping up non-stop!
Brumbies also hold the distinction of being the only team to put 50 on the Crusaders. Think the Blues and the Jaguares are the only teams we haven’t done it to.

So with Poey coming back next week - that means Cusack could drop out of the 23 again - which is criminal but also reflection of level of back row depth.

That was absolutely brilliant, best Brumbies game I've seen in a while. Congratulations, really well deserved win. I have to admit I was wrong when I said last week they don't seem to have the creativity needed to win. Those tries were top shelf. So many times have we seen aussie players get their milestone games in a hiding to a nz team. A small amount schadenfreude for Lurch's century there.
