G&GR Brumbies Player of the Match (v Bulls)

[RugbyReg]

just getting in early for those mad bastards who will stay up to watch it.

Post 3-2-1s here.

We're not mad. It's essential to stay up if you're a real fan...

High Bladen is annoying already..'Harrison's first game this season...' Might pay to watch last weeks game....

Cracker of a match so far with 20 min left. 3 point game. 30 - 27 to the Bulls.

Whoops, make that a 10 point game after an Olivier try and Steyn conversion. 18 min left.

 

[Spook]

Brumbies dying in altitude. Bulls rumbling. Lawrence is a cheating cvnt.

Brumbies were their own worst enemy. Much more so than the ref.

Bulls deserved it but the ref was poor though. Particularly the block . Missed quite a few knock ons as well but Brumbies just dropped too much ball. Sides looked even matches with 20 to go. Bulls then took off.

Hon Mention to To'omua, who added structure to the backline as soon as he came on.

Bulls just had too much left in the tank with 20 to go. Elementary errors killed the Brumbies- AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) dropping a kick cold springs to mind, as well as Guy Shepherdson putting in possibly the worst 20 minutes I have ever seen from anyone- somehow even worse than Ma'afu whom he replaced.

3. Elsom - by a mile
2. Lealifano
3. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - despite his bad ball security had some great attacking moments

 

[RugbyReg]

yeah agree re AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) speccy. He still looked the most dangerous and classy Brumby back for mine.

I thought Giteau was pretty rusty but that was to be expected & Mortlock is looking old & really off the pace.
