[Marcelo]

Are the Brumbies so strong or the Canes so weak?

 

[Tomikin]

BP try?

Had one for a while think we are 4 ahead maybe 5 now

Canes forward pack never showed up, so hard to tell.

Glad I was brave enough to take Brums by overs

That one seals the deal, surely.

Brumbies are much fitter

Hard to tell. They look noticeably quicker and fitter than the Canes. I actually think we're beginning to see the NRC effect flow through. Players are arriving at preseason significantly fitter and that allows you to work harder and maintain skills a lot longer.

Wheels fallen off the Canes cart now.

Isnt that 2 tries with 14 men??

 

[Bairdy]

What a rout. I really need to go back and watch the first 45 minutes.

KIA wants to pull their Canes sponsorship. Said they had enough crash test dumbies.....ouch!

Yep.........

The regular playing time of the UC Vikings contingent has considerably strengthened the Brumbies depth over the past two seasons.

I think we'll see it with most if not allvthe Aus sides. It was quite evident in the Force/Canes trial in Gosford that the Force we're noticeably quicker and fitter as well.

Lees lays down the law....... 30 minutes late, but, hey, better late than never, eh? Seriously, Saint David should've been binned ages ago........

 

[Marcelo]

I like Michael Dowsett. He can improve a lot from Tomas Cubelli

 

[pjm]

Has TJ been giving the blokes EKO's throughout the offseason?

Finally Poey gets sent to the naughty chair - about 40 mins later than he should have been. Surprisingly seemingly incapable of playing within the rules as applied by the ref.

Are you talking about when the ref penalties him and says I didn't see it but I believe he didn't release, it was the right call but to card something you don't see is a big call. First game we are finding the edge of the law.

It's a pleasant change from the old days when Aussie teams were notoriously slow out of the blocks at the start of a Super Rugby season, inevitably leading to claims that Aussie rugby was on the rocks. The bumboys looks the goods today. Great defence. Outstanding in attack.
