Chiefs v Brumbies, Rnd 4, FMG Stadium Feb 22 17:05

Technically you're still on possession, even if bobbling it. So I guess that determines their thinking

Thought you had to regain possession at some point but clearly not.

Solid start from the Ponies. some good continuity but the Chiefs are always a little sketchy to start, then suddenly put three tries on you.

Gunna have to now, ain't they

 

[Forcefield]

Couldn't say it better Derpus. Smart rugby.

 

[Pfitzy]

Fark James Slipper is killing it with those angles.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Chiefs dodged a bullet there. Looking at the two sides you'd assume it was Chiefs with illness & injury issues.

 

[Forcefield]

Agonisingly close.

 

[Derpus]

Can the Brumbies keep up this incredibly intensity though?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Tip tackle? Replay machine appears to be broken....

 

[Pfitzy]

Thought you had to regain possession at some point but clearly not.

Like I said: technically he never lost possession Until it hits the ground or another player, it is his.

My favourite is watching a guy bobble the ball forward and get cut in two around the solar plexus. Perfectly legal, maximum effect

 

[Up the Guts]

Like to see a replay of that

 

[Tomikin]

Damn that was close

 

[Pfitzy]

Jeez can't believe that maul broke down

 

[Forcefield]

Tip tackle? Replay machine appears to be broken..

Didn't lift him. Didn't drive him down. Was always in the ruck. My take anyway.

 

[pnut]

Outstanding basic skills from the Brumbies great to see. Other Aussie franchises should take note

 

[Derpus]

God what a dumb thing to do. Someone give him a slap.

You're probably right but in this day & age it's hard to be sure. We'll call it a benchmark decision, then

 

[Up the Guts]

Brumbies looking indecisive, can’t afford to go into shutdown mode with a lead like this. Seen Australian teams lose so many times after starts like this.

 

[Derpus]

Even if they lose, at least it was worth watching. Rebels? they should pay me.

 

[Forcefield]

Depends on the mood of the referee . Maybe this bloke has been reading Rebels3's work.

 

[Up the Guts]

Hopefully Gatland brings his Wales vs Wallabies W/L record to Super.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I saw this exact match in week 1. All we need is the Chufs to fart out a try late in the half and the déjà vu will be complete.

EDIT: But that'll help put the Chufs back in their box.
