Round 2: Chiefs v Brumbies - 3 March 2024

[TSR]

Having said all that about the Chiefs getting away with infringements - it’s Rugby 101 right. The dominant team always gets the calls, especially around the breakdown. You pile in and play the whistle. Lots of stuff gets let go around the breakdown to allow the game to flow.

 

[Derpus]

Who’s the Brumbies 7? He’s sharting on the blessed memory of Smith and Pocock right now.

 

[Wallabies]

Do the brumbies want to maybe play with some intensity. They look they couldn’t care less.

 

[Adam84]

Tom Hooper thumped in defence and sent backwards turning over ball. Chiefs defence is ferocious

Been great rugby all weekend and then on blow the fucken Bumbreeze

Huge play, treated him like an undersized winger

As a neutral I'm still enjoying this plenty. This chiefs side is fantastic to watch

 

[Alex Sharpe]

Anaemic compared to the intensity the Tahs brought last night. I don’t even think the Chiefs have been that

Give it a rest mate i get you go for NSW

 

[dru]

Brumbies backline is actually numbering up in attack. Draw and pass boys.

 

[Wilson]

Ikitau one of the few Brumbies with his head in the game. Needs the rest of the team to come with him or it'll be all for naught though.

 

[Derpus]

Give it a rest mate i get you go for NSW

I will never

 

[dru]

I get the feeling that the Chiefs are going to make most teams look flat, but gee pretty much every Brumby looks like they need a shot of adreniline. Have Chiefs gotten out of first gear?

 

[Derpus]

Corey Toole is exceptional

 

[TSR]

That’s a damn good finish by Toole

 

[Wilson]

First points of the half, Brumbies aren't necessarily looking great but they have slowed the Chiefs down some and disrupted their flow.

And yet, they are hanging in there. For now at least.

Maybe. See how it goes.

 

[nathan]

Ref seems to be uninterested in calling any of the multiple forward passes from the chiefs.

 

[TSR]

Maybe. See how it goes.

Haha - to be clear I was just making an observation. It wasn’t a prediction on what would happen for the last 20 minutes. I suspect the Brumbies will run out of gas, but hopefully not.

Who's the commentators today, one of them sounds like his losing his voice

Mr croaky is former Clan lock Joe Wheeler & he always sounds like that.
