Fail to see the controversy in the end to be honest. Brumbies lucky to keep 14 on the field after the last two penalties.

Listless performance from the Brumbies. 63% possession but they went soooo predictable on attack.

Kings defence was easily up to the task of picking out straight one out runners and lateral movement without moving forward first.

You don't get a yellow for being predictable in attack. The controversy is from basically gifting the win to the brums in front of their own uprights and then deciding to check something on the replay. I have no problem with the result as the Kings played well and the Brums didn't make the most of their posession advantage. I hope though that this use of the "third umpire" is consistent.

Good effort by the kings.

I think the Brumbies maybe underestimated the Kings a bit. At times they acted like they needed to go through the motions to win and didn't play with conviction.

The Brumbies need to work on their maul and maul defence for next week. White needs to get back some enthusiasm.

Don't agree they were handed the draw, they still scored on their own accord. Brumbies goal line defence is better than that.

Agree that the use of the TMO should be consistent for suspected foul play from here. Was a silly move from Alexander. He knows better than that.

At least Tomane showed that Folau's aerial skills are overrated......

Otherwise I can't find many positives........

No more rotation for now...... Back with the best XV and work them back into shape.........

Brumbies luck has finally run out and what a turn of events. Kings brought a big defensive game tonight and it paid out in spades!

Never ever underestimate a team in any sports and they should not have rested those players tonight.

Top of the table teams simply don't put performance in like that. Credit to the Kings, they played well.

Sometimes sh!t just happens. Top of the table is meh. Many premierships have been won by teams who were not "top of the table".

Ponies should bounce back OK.

I'm reminded of the Rebels game from 2011. The Brumbies were just BAD. Bad, bad, bad. What the hell Brumbies, what the hell. What the hell.

And you Ben Alexander, yeah you, I'm looking at you. You are a god damn disgrace. I remember you letting the team down last year against another saffa team in black. Get out, off the bench, I'll take Sio and Palmer with Murphy on the bench. I'll have Siliva Siliva as prop before you. You are awful.

And yeah, full credit to the Kings, they played well. They played pretty damn well. But they certainly weren't hurt by having an opposition that played as if this was the team from the school for the blind.

Brumbies, you're my team, I support you, and when you lost to the Stormers I was okay with it, because you played well with just a couple of things going wrong. With this, you heard the hype about how the people with money put said money with you and played as if you were against a team with no legs. You played like there was nothing to stop you scoring 15 tries.

God I am mad at you.

And great defensive effort by the Kings. Their tackles stuck, sure the Brumbies made it too easy for them, but the Kings can't be faulted for doing what was needed.

Brumbies will be better next week when then rotate a few key players back in.

That was really lazy from the Brumbies tonight. Very lucky to walk away with the draw.

The lineout misfired tonight also, and the scrum was a shambles at one point. Very disappointing, the Brumbies are a much better team than that.

You need to go way and understand the new role of the video umpire before you make these type of observations again.

Look, the Brumbies are quite generous.

They know what it's like being the new kids on the block, and they're happy to gift points to all the new teams that enter the competition.

We should be commending them on this wonderful act of good sportsmanship.

Well, the wife and I put on the new Game of Thrones and all the intrigue is in the Brumbies v Kings.

That's a huge result for the Kings. If the winless Highlanders are halfway up that Kiwi power rankings then the Kings must be top 3.
