Quarter Final: Brumbies v Highlanders Sat 8th 7.35PM @ GIO STADIUM

[Marce]

No scrum, no party

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I know he can’t do much but Brown really needs to try and help Vella out at scrum time

 

[AFL_Converted]

Try for all money for me

 

[AFL_Converted]

Edit knock on. So clos

Try for all money for me

e

 

[Marce]

What a try!

 

[drewprint]

Great try. How good are these goal line kick returns from Brown!

 

[Tomikin]

Didn't matter, we are all over them but scrums a concern

 

[KOB1987]

Gotta love the 50 canberrans that turned up booing the correct decision.

That was a beautiful try though, Cale is the ultimate support player.

 

[Tomikin]

But we seem to be all over there lineout

 

[Marce]

Try for all money for me

Knock-on?

Would be nice if one day the Brumbies got the following they deserved.

It’s Canberra mate. These people can’t show any passion for anything other than bitching about how much they hate NSW.
It’s easier not to go so they don’t.
Sadly there are several clubs in the ACT and surrounds with up to 4 grades so a large playing population plus rugby schools like Eddies and Daramalan all who have free entry to these games but they just don’t turn up. Predominantly because they just CBF

 

[KOB1987]

Why the fuck have they got Ariana grande playing in the background? Nothing against her but that’s not really rugby tunes. Maybe the Brumbies marketing intern volunteered her playlist for the occasion

Vella showing his age I guess

Well they consistently get 5 000 -10 000 more to the raiders games.... so not sure thats true.

i think future looks tough for harry wilson with Charlie cale coming through the ranks. He’s a more athletic 8 I feel with similar size

 

[Marce]

Lolo exaggerates with the 50/50 kicks. Keep the possesion

This is a good thing for the Wallabies. We need pressure for spots.

It’s Rugby not Canberra. Somehow it will be the Tahs fault though.

The concern I have with Charlie at 8 is that he’s pretty small by international standards. That can be overcome with balance, but I have said previously he could be that bigger bodied 7 we are looking for, if Joe is looking for that as well

Misread your post.

League is easy to watch. It’s basic bitch rugby

I was referring to rugby ‘fans’ no league fans too. When I was playing in the ACT, trying to even talk to my team mates about the weekends games and/or wallabies games was like pulling teeth but several of the boys would wear NRL jerseys to and from games

That's a good number if you take that Canberra is 1 League vs 1 Union professional teams. If you compare with NSW (10 NRL clubs vs 1 Super Rugby side) or QLD (4 NRL clubs vs 1 Super Rugby side) the ACT numbers are pretty good.
