Such an important game for the brumbies.

Moana are good and have previously been a real challenge for the brumbies

Is that an update on Harry Vella? Am i correct that he was previously down as being out for the season?

 

[Wilson]

he was listed as round 13 last week, but before then just 'long-term'.

 

[Alex Sharpe]

Would love to know what happened to Charlie Cale. Brumbies would have loved to have him play this weekend

The worst of ex-cyclone Tam has moved on but Met Service is still forecasting wind, rain & possibly thunder storms for tomorrow arvo.

 

[Yabby]

That's not thunder, it's Valetini deleting tacklers. The rain will just be the tears of Uncle Tana descending from the coaches box and the wind will just be Blues fans still moaning softly in the background.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I know they said the weather has been awful but is there 1000 people there?

 

[Marbig]

I know they said the weather has been awful but is there 1000 people there?

Suppose it’s also a bit of drive from where they have been playing in North Auckland as well

 

[Major Tom]

This ref absolutely sucks

 

[Major Tom]

Is that not a maul?
Apparently, broken away but jeez looked touch and go.

 

[Happy]

Wonder whether the Brumbies will ever get a call from this ref.

 

[Heavyd]

We are seeing the implications of Super Rugby not replacing poor performing referees. Games descend into knockonathons at the hands of referees not up to Super rugby standard.

 

[Tomthumb]

How has this goofball ref got another game?

There isn’t anyone else. Plus the rest aren’t much better

 

[Happy]

About time

They are better than him. He makes Ben O'Keefe look competent
