Force v. Brumbies: Super Rugby Wk 16

[Ash]

Who is the Force coach at the moment? Their game plan is rubbish, if they even have one. Their general play has been clueless.

 

[Bardon]

Stupid decision to go quickly by the Force there, should have got something on the board and given themselves something to build on. They might be 4 tries to nil down but 19 points wouldn't have been impossible to pull back in the 2nd 40. Though if they play the way they have in the first half they could go all week without scoring 19 points.

 

[Ash]

Meanwhile the Brumbies looked extremely well coached and organised. Add in some elusive running from the backs, strong running from the forwards, dominance at ruck time and a kicking game light years ahead and it isn't even close.

 

[Brumbieman]

So, Sharpe is in his final game, what should be an emotional moment, where you'd think he'd turn out one last masterclass.


So far, Fardy has made him his bitch. Absolutely wiping him, like a dirty arse.

Why were we screwing around with Timani and Sharpe against Wales?

Zack Holmes' goal kicking a bit of a worry....... But if the Brumbies keep this up it will be a well earned win.......

Robbie Coleman looks so deadly every time he touches the ball....... It helps that he hasn't been required to kick the ball.......

 

[Gagger]

Second half tactic suggestion for the Force to stop leaking tries: Forfeit

 

[Brumbies Guy]

Bonus point tied up just before half time. Brumbies aren't going to role over and let the Reds take the Aus conference. Force need to get their new coach in ASAP so they can sort things out for next year.

They should have stuck with RG for the rest of the season and not let pride get in the way just because he was moving on next season. They are an absolute shambles at the moment.

 

[Ash]

That's it for me. Don't think it's worth commenting on the second half. Brumbies just too good.

Feels that way. You've done well to stick to it till this point Ash. My summary for the first half is simple - it is one way traffic for the Brumbies. Force terrible.

bit of an exageration there I think... considering the only thing of the brumbies that doesnt look better than the forces is.... the lineout.

Because Fardy was said to be carrying "niggling injuries" during the Wales tests!

Can't believe people were tipping the force for this one.

There's a reason why the Brumbies are top of the conference. Good to see that Holmes is getting some width on field as the confidence with him playing at 10 with Coleman coming in from 15 (very dangerously) is adding a level of attack that the team's missed since Lilo's injury.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Nice work Honey Badger!

 

[Bardon]

Force in at the start of the 2nd half. If the Brumbies came out thinking they had this one in the bag we could be in for a hell of a 2nd 40.

 

[Ash]

Cummins steamrolls Mogg? or Coleman? to go over in the corner. Force come out fired up. Don't think it will last long. Seymour put in a dumb kick but had the penalty adv.

Really gone now.

Mogg, he really needs to work on his tackling in the off-season. His tackling stats this year would make Quade look good.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

The Honey Badger is in again!

 

[Bardon]

Cummins in again for the Force, they really don't want Ash to leave this thread!

 

[Bardon]

3 Points from the pen there just helping to steady the ship for the Brumbies. 25-10 up with 23 minutes to go, they should see this one out, but the Force are all over them this half.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

That was some pretty good play by the Force but Sharpie a bit isolated & Hooper all over it, good work Hooper. But Brumbies can't find touch. Saved by Force kicking it back.

Then great work Pocock. Some sloppy stuff from the Brumbies on the return.
