Super Rugby AU Rnd 3: Brumbies vs Rebels, Sat 06/03/21

[dru]

I can't think of a position where the Brumby was better than his opposite. At the same time I can't say they didn't deserve it.

Unlucky Rebels.

Well done Brums. Deserved the win for been the team most likely.

Rebels will continue to be difficult to beat, especially when they finally return home

Yeah me too. But you have to give that kick. Not at all lame.

True. Was a good game regardless and kept me on the edge if my seat until the end.

Unlucky Rebels.

I was thinking about this, definitely 13 and probably whatever wing Pincus was. Also I thought Hardwick was great until the final 10. Lost the game for them.

YOU CANOT STOP LONNIE DONERGAN, YOU CAN ONLY HOPE TO CONTAIN HIM.

Well - I was cheering for the Rebels, but for the second week I enjoyed watching an Aussie kicker - actually two Aussie kickers - putting on such a quality display.

Congrats Brumbies. It wasn’t pretty at times, but a win is a win.

Commiserations Rebels fans. I feel for you.

Unlucky Rebels.

There was plenty.

Banks > Pincus
Brown > Hardwick
AAT (pre card) > Fa’amasuili
Ikitau > Ili

There we go! Welcome back to rugby.

Commentators cursed the Rebels there. One minute after bringing up Hodge kicking long range bombs, Longeran steps up and kicks an absolute pearler (arguably harder than the ones Hodge missed for the Wobs last year).

Very positive play from the Brumbies to finish that game. I really think Damon has gone downhill as a referee over the last few years. Berry clearly the top Aussie ref these days and Damon becoming a penalty wizard. At least to my eye; the stats themselves could say different.

The only one here I would consider is Brown - Hardwick. No to the rest.

 

[TSR]

That should have been a yellow cynical as hell from Samu.

You can take the boy out of the Crusaders system.......

Who is the Rebels' next prop off the cab rank? Can't see Pone playing on Friday night?

To'omua, boot aside, wasn't great. I thought Lolesio outplayed him.

Well Eloff is the 3rd choice TH.

Hopefully Orr and Gibbon back at LH next week.

 

[Up the Guts]

Koroibete with the ultimate power play of man of the match from the losing side. Reminiscent of Joe Launchberry’s iconic performance in the 2015 RWC.

 

[Scooter]

Well Eloff is the 3rd choice TH.

Hopefully Orr and Gibbon back at LH next week.

What are realistic chances of either or both being back?

 

[TSR]

I thought that game was very enjoyable to watch. Surprised by the level of negativity

 

[Jeeper]

I feel sorry for Koro, he was about the only Rebel looking likely to do anything in attack.

Great contest, bittersweet to end with a penalty goal.
