Jeezzz Ash, he is a backrower not a diver!

Haha great call Bruce! How do you come up with these??

That particular gem, barbarian, came from suckerforred not me.

 

[barbarian]

I realise that Bruce, just playing along with the joke.

Now I finally know how you must feel all the time- being too subtle in my attempts at humour.

 

[tranquility]

Is Colby injured?

 

[Brumby Jack]

He might be playing club rugby this weekend. I saw him 2 weeks ago and he seemed to be walking ok after being in a moon boot

 

[Brumbieman]

Did Barnes get on the field against the Kiwis or the Irish?

In the semi, he came on just as we were starting to throw the gameplan out the window and run it, and proceeded to aimlessly kick the shit out of it at every opportunity. In the space of about 10mins, I reckon he landed 4 kicks on Corey Janes chest, with no supporting chasers, and Jane just behind the halfway line.

It was stroke-inducing viewing.

Arrived in Canberra an hour ago. About to head to the pub, fire up!

 

[Brumbieman]

Which pub Kronic?

Colby made his return in Club rugby for tuggeranong today hopefully see him back in action soon.

 

[James Buchanan]

This is not looking good for the rebels.

Does George Ayoub hate the Brumbies?

There was the Higginbotham try last week which probably shouldn't have been allowed... But...

Fotu's try was completely legit.., all the commentators agreed...

What was his thinking?

Call me biased, but I think the call was somewhat fair. It was a 50/50 call at best.

 

[Slim 293]

No way... He clearly slammed down the ball and the replay showed downward pressure...

Where in "The Laws of the Game" does it say "downward pressure"?

 

[Tangawizi]

It looked more like his hand had slipped off the side of the ball. But difficult to call it without a decent front on camera angle.

Not that it going to make any difference. Rebels handling has been woeful.

Sure, but rule 2 applies... http://www.irblaws.com/EN/laws/6/22/217/during-the-match/ingoal/grounding-the-ball/

 

[Slim 293]

Disappointed that the Brumbies only scored 1 try in the second half...

Still, it keeps us afloat or now...

That was perhaps the worst performance from the Rebels since inception. The handling and skills execution was just woefull. The SHute game this afternoon between the Woodies and Norths was of higher standard.

Well done to the Ponies. I will be very interested to see how their direct and straight forward game plan goes in the Republic.

After the Saders V Stormers game this was a step down to second grade.
