Great fight back. Brumbies definitely have the upper hand despite being behind on the scoreboards still. Giteau and Phibbs are playing smart, and Fainga'a and Hooper are everywhere (they're going to be a class back-row combination in a few years)
Really think Giteau will be the difference in the second half.

With the Cheetahs defence being equally as woeful the Brumbies could really do some damage in the second half with ball runners like Edmonds, Smith and Coleman to come on...
I really hope Tony Rea doesn't bring on Salvi unless the Brumbies' have ultimately won the game...
He's the kind of player to give away a cynical penalty in front of the posts at the siren with the scores tied...

I couldn't sleep so I decided to find a stream and have a gander at this game. Started watching from about the 50minute mark.. OMFG absolute fucking shit. Then Lilo gets carded for an absolute garbage call from the ref regarding a spear tackle - if anyone is to blame it should have been Chisholm. Shit game is Shit. Any other sides would put 50 points on these to tonight.

It would've been better (worse) if the scores were tied, but still, spookily prophetic.

When Vaea is fit Salvi needs to be dumped...
He played well in round 1 but since then has given away an unacceptable amount of points to the opposition...
If I was Fagan I would seriously look at releasing him from his contract...
I'm also very disappointed in Hand this year... he's gone downhill...
For me Kimlin and Hooper were the only two real standouts for the Brumbies... but the Lilo/Giteau 10/12 combo has promise...

They need to revert back to neutral refs just to get rid of this perceived "Must be a bad call as he is a home ref"
The Reds V Canes match tonight will probably end up with a fair bit of this home town bias BS.
Player Power..........my arse!!!!
Good one!!! Brumbies get rid of their coach. You would think the players are going to take their play to another level. Take ownership of this season. But no the princesses have only succeeded in dumping their coach and then deciding to take a 6 month holiday. Elsom must be the highest paid player in the world on a game basis.
Says it all really. 22 nil down in the first 12 minutes against the Cheetahs FFS.
Defence is about attitude.......hence the Brumbies defence is what it is.

Cheetahs props seemed to be enjoying themselves, it looked to me like Coenie was attempting a Quade Cooper 'bunny-hop' and WP Nel did a swan dive when he scored a try ... fantastic stuff!

My thoughts exactly. You would have expected the Brumbies to lift a gear or two now that the players are effectively in charge. A big clean out next year when Jake arrives I suspect.
