Chiefs v Brumbies Super Rugby R4 2012

[Godfrey]

Brumbies looking pretty decent here. Mogg has a great, confident boot. Better hands and their attention to detail elsewhere and they'd be scoring some points here.

Ref needs to get the chiefs onside at the ruck...

Otherwise good game... Lots of attacking rugby...

Thought they should've gone upstairs for Fardy's knock on, never know. Mogg has a huge boot. Brumbies look good although the Chiefs are down on intensity from the previous weeks, hope they can sneak a win. Fardy is impressive and Hooper has made an immediate difference.

 

[Slim 293]

The Brumbies backrow has been excellent..

At this stage Mogg and Fardy will be on full time contracts for next year...

 

[kiap]

Brumbies doing well

 

[The Red Baron]

Is it just me or does Fardy remind you guys of Owen Finegan?

Leon Power has also been impressive. The Brumbies forwards are hunting in a pack, rather than going one and two out. The period of play about midway through the first half was brilliant. There was a number of guys directly behind the forward ball runner. Simple and effective pop passes kept the ball alive and the Brumbies surging over the advantage line. They need to keep that sort of play going.

I would expect the Brumbies to up the intensity a little bit in the second half, and really test the fitness of the Chiefs forwards.

Yeah they're cohesiveness has been impressive, I'd like to see their forward runners run onto the ball more and not stationary when they receive it - especially inside the Chiefs 22

 

[qwerty51]

I thought you weren't allowed to quick tap if you deliberately knock on?

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Good so far, come on Brumbies.

9 mins in the 22. Is that right? Not able to watch but looks like the Ponys are doing well. Be nice to see a win here to put some of the crap about our weak conference to rest. Or are the Chiefs poor?

 

[Slim 293]

What a rolling maul...

 

[qwerty51]

Chiefs look flat, Brumbies should bring it home now. Carter, Vaea and White should add some spark.

 

[cyclopath]

Chiefs do look flat, but as I type they score. Brumbies pack has looked very good indeed. Intense last 10 mins I think.

 

[qwerty51]

It appears I jinxed them, sorry Brumby fans..

 

[RedsHappy]

But so much good in the 'new' Brumbies! Wow, they look on a good path to me.

 

[Godfrey]

Bloody oath. If it wasn't for the handling errors they would have had this one. Still might grab it anyway!

 

[qwerty51]

Damn, fine performance by the Brumbies, that was really encouraging.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Impressive defensive effort from the Brums, great maul too. Chiefs were not as intense as prior weeks but did look very good in attack at times. SBW made up for his shocking kick with a few great runs.

A loss but lots of positives for the Brumbies & the Chiefs will be happy to get a win out of that after making a lot of handling errors.

 

[Slim 293]

Gutted in the end..

Too many silly errors at the end to let the chiefs win...

Still... That charge down attempt on Cruden was legit...

 

[Sully]

Can't believe Nic White kicked the ball with 4 min to go. How can you win the game if you gift the other side possession.
