[Brumby Jack]

Handre Pollard out for the Bulls with a calf strain is a huge advantage for the Brumbies.

Bulls haven't won back-to-back outside SA since 2007 & I think have the worst away record of the remaining SA teams. Brums by ~10.

 

[Tomikin]

That's a pretty decent team, don't know what they will do at 10 if Lealifano goes down guess it be Wright.

Still no McCaffery or Pocock sucks, last season McCaffery lost all form after his elbow injury. Pollard being out for the Bull's is great news for the Brumbies, hopefully we put them away quite easily.

The Concrete Esky Fortress.. And for all the people who bitch about game threads not being updated, I will be flying at during the game and will watch when I'm home on Kayo. So I wont be on here during the game.

23 Divan Rossouw - any relation to Peter (Pieter?) the intercept king?

^ born in Namibia not SA & Pieter's wiki page only lists Chris under notable relatives.

Brumbies should be all over this. The only Aussie team who can match the Bulls up front.

Looks like it's gonna be a cold one - may have to break out the stubbie holder.

Greatest invention ever was the stubbie holder stitched to a wet suit glove, those things where magic before Drunk Tomikin lost his out after a Brumbies game.

Don't forget to bring your beer blanket.. make sure it on tight. Brumbies by a skin full

 

[Merrow]

5-3. Go the good guys

 

[Strewthcobber]

Bulls defense has done what it takes to stop the Brumbies for the last 10/15. Once again showing the value of giving away penalties against teams who don't take the points

 

[Merrow]

TK with a double, CLL converts. 12-10 at oranges

 

[Strewthcobber]

TK crashes over with a really nice line after another penalty->lineout->maul is stopped

 

[Merrow]

TK with a hat trick 22-10

When did Simone become class

About 15 minutes ago

 

[Strewthcobber]

Good win Brums. Look the real deal

 

[Brumby Runner]

TK with a Mortlock-esque performance tonight. Wasn't Valetini a monster when he came on.

For the record, Cheika must be the worst judge of talent in the country for leaving Pete Samu out of the Wallaby squad. But, of course, anyone with an iota of intelligence has known that for over four years.

 

[Clawhammer]

That was pleasing, TK and Henry in great form again. Crowd size as pathetic as ever, it's depressing.
