Super Rugby Rd 3: Brumbies v Waratahs in Canberra

[KOB1987]

Game on. The shit-Tahs are holding the (allegedl) best provincial rugby team in the Southern Hemisphere (if not the world) to a converted try, with time on the clock. I’m good with that.

 

[Drew]

This whole penalising the team going back to collect a bomb just in courage’s more turgid NH rugby. Yes, I know it’s raining, but attacking players will aim for defenders getting back to the ball and fall over, arms out.

 

[Pfitzy]

That was the slowest buildup to a try I've ever seen.

Short, quick hands but static line, then BANG.

 

[Tomikin]

Samu only gets a look in for the Wallabies because of McKellar yeah? Harris and Wilson have been outplaying him over the first three rounds.

Valetini be 8 for the Wallabies... Samu covers all 3 backrow positions..

 

[KOB1987]

Another clear collapse by the ponies but he ponders on it for half a minute and calls a reset.

 

[Pfitzy]

Argh. Donaldson too deep. Tell those forwards to GTFO

 

[Tomikin]

Luke Rimer was all over that nice play

I’m ok with Samu being picked ahead of them last year. This year so far though, no way.

 

[Pfitzy]

Brumbies reserve THP overextends and loses his bind. In and down.

 

[TSR]

Brumbies are so good at bringing their young guys in and them having an impact.

Elbows on the deck. Didn't start in a strong position but the late cleanbout made him look good.

 

[Marce]

Great effort from Tahs in the final minutes

It was fine. He's wearing a Brumbies jersey after all.






I may be a bit salty.

 

[Drew]

To only lose by a try gives me hope

 

[Tomikin]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.. Ref clearly trying to let the Tah's into the game..

 

[Pfitzy]

Well, if you'd told me we could come away from Canberra at this stage of the journey with a bonus point, I'd have taken it.

Officials did their best to keep the Tahs out of it for 70 minutes, so it all evens out.

 

[TSR]

Well - I thought that was a good contest. Plenty of spice and plenty of barbs exchanged. Some clever work and some less subtle stuff.

The game was pretty good too.

Luke Rimer was all over that nice play

How old is he?

I don't like that my emojis not coming in
