2. Brumbies stalled?
First a loss to the Stormers, then a lucky win over the Bulls, and now a draw with the Kings. To make matters worse, the last two games were in Fortress Canberra. The Brumbies’ momentum has seemingly come to a halt, and now they have to take on the Highlanders in NZ.
The next few weeks are shaping as crucial in the Aussie conference – where previously it looked like a Brumbies walkover, the Reds are now right in the hunt and could occupy the box seat if the Canberrans happen to stumble. The Brumbies aren’t playing badly, but they are a shadow of the team that so comprehensively dismantled the Sharks in Durban.
I hope they can get their form back this week because with the Reds firing it will make for an absorbing contest next week at Suncorp.
