Quarter Final - Brumbies vs Highlanders, 22 July 2016 @ 6:00pm

[ACR]

The weather here in Canberra is woeful right now. Windy, wet and cold. Doubt we will see many supporters show up.

But It's going to be a slugfest of a game, which is probably an advantage to the Brumbies.

Don't worry, they'll be playing under a shiny little roof that'll block..

oh wait, this bs again.

The whole of Australian rugby (mostly) is behind you.


Don't let us down!!

Is the weather that bad? Really disappointing crowd for a finals game

Bullshit second scrum penalty.

I would have called play on but the highlanders were under the pump

Pfff, barely and the brumbies 1 folded first, clear.

Some absurd calls both ways here.

Shame about the abysmal weather, a great equalizer..

Another shocker.

Yeah not much dropped pill though

Setting the scrum too far apart, Highlanders need to wisen up.

Moore looks like a rank amateur throwing lineouts. Terrible for an international captain no less.

This is basically going like the pregame comments. Highlanders are playing to conditions and the Brumbies kick game is woeful.

Brumbies struggling to exist their own half. Line-out ball costing them.

Not a bad effort so far though, defending pretty well. Although down a man now and a try behind, thats gunna hurt

 

[swingpass]

Highlanders eventually overpower the the bery solid Brums defence

Technically correct from Gardner to give the YC despite the try - 2 penalty advantages called in short order, warning earlier. Not many refs do that. Wow! What a kick from Sopoaga! What's happening with Brumbies lineout - getting picked apart. Conditions prob not helping. Leali'ifano and To'omua both playing deep tonight. Flatten it up and release Kuridrani! He made a great bust before. Come on Brums!

Fekitoa is no All Black anymore, brainless. Pocock's ruckwork is rivalling McCaw's, dodge. Interesting half.

To be fair the weather is moving the ball making line-out calls to the back almost impossible. So it's easy to predict jumpers will be at the front of the line-out.

Yeah, this is true but Moore throws them like a granny. He just lobs them. Refs need to be lenient on calling the crooked ones.

ha, just came here to say the same thing, if thats the incumbent All Black centre then I7m a monkeys uncle. So far he's been where promising movements went to die. A clot in the u-bend.

the Brumbies and their anti-rugby agenda still hanging in there. Offering nothing, just hoping the other mugs keep stuffing it up. Faddes just had to fall on the fuckin thing ffs

The no-look pass to the unmarked man over the touchline was pure genius.

Moore is awful in handling with the ref, he is like a four year old in a candy store wanting all the candies and getting none.

Moore: "Daddy! Daddy! Lets buy these candies! And these!"

Gardner: "jesus christ Steven, we are not in a candy store and you are not 4. Man the fuck up and stop whining to me after every whistle"
