Super Rugby AU Round 9 - Brumbies, v. Force, Friday 28 August 7:05pm AEST (5:05pm AWST)

[Equalizer]

Nice start Force. Much better tempo.

 

[Adam84]

Force scrum going well against a Wallaby front-row

 

[Derpus]

I never understood why you cant tackle the half back once he grabs the ball

You can. Issue is staying onside prior (no pun intended)

 

[Derpus]

I fukn hate TMOs

 

[Tomikin]

Fuck me tmo check everything

 

[Derpus]

At least that one was clear

 

[Wilson]

Muirhead going well tonight. Playing like a man trying to impress his new coach

 

[Equalizer]

TMO's having a blinder

Where is he going?

 

[Equalizer]

Sad when Pete Samu accelerates faster than our wingers

 

[Wilson]

Where is he going?

Bit of a rumour going around that there's a brumbies winger a bit unhappy and in talks with force

 

[Derpus]

Brache is not a good defender. Really missing Ralston out wide.

 

[Tomikin]

Brumbies looking sharp now..

 

[rugboy]

Banks having a solid game so far. Nice to see him finding his pre-shutdown form

 

[Brumby Runner]

Think he's been solid over the whole competition. He is starting to look like he's playing with some flair tonight.

Interesting. Has a wing spot almost assured, Canberra local, coach raves about him, would be a step backwards; love to know what the supposed issue is?

 

[molman]

Really enjoying this so far. The maul & scrum defence from the Force have been notable. Brache looks a little suspect in defence at times, I think I'd be targeting that wing.

A few observations. Have the laws changed around presenting the ball and not feeding it at scrums. Really bugging me. As is Banks seeming to chew off a couple of extra meters everytime he gets a free kick. Also Powell needs to clean up his tapping the ball on the ground, should be called out if he's going to let that enter his game.

On the positive, great to see him (Banks) finally find some of his running form again. Much better game from him.

Missing Ralston.

 

[Derpus]

Didnt a Brumby fall over the back of that maul hence the sudden collapse backwards?

Woulda thought thats quite dangerous
