The cynical side of me wonders what Clive thinks of this game.

My god that was good to watch. Mogg, To'omua and Kimlin were awesome. Sio and Carter are weapons as well.

Great Win! congrats Brumbies. Tamoa was awesome. Good to see the Wallabies Kimlin and Sio stand out. Hopefully that's a good indication on where the Wallabies squad are at.

Very impressive performance from the Brums B team against the Lions C team. Wasn't pretty but was full of heart.

Anyone else get nervous when they reviewed Faaingaa's tackle on Hogg? I was worrying that it would get penalised, in a rugby game in 2013, for being a dangerous tackle, and where that could lead the game. Thankfully they said it wasn't worth a penalty.

The brumbies skill execution is what wins them games. It is so refreshing to see an australian team that can do it.

Even the Reds in their pomp weren't as consistent with their execution as the Brumbies are.

The brumbies are seriously lacking in attack without Lilo though.

friggin woo hoo is all i can say - noticed that a bunch of the lions did not look happy when shaking hands - tough luck sunshines - rugby always taught me to look at the opposition in the eye and shake their friggin hand ffs - :)

I think having Smith at 12 instead of Lilo or McCabe might've stifled our attack a bit......

And unfortunately a couple of balls that didn't go to hand probably spoiled what could've been some good attacking opportunities ie Speight losing To'omua's cut out pass.........

Come on Ponies. You can do this.

The Lions are vulnerable with their Dirt tracker team (in Gatland's view).

Having called them Gatlands Dirt Trackers, I think tomorrow's 6/7/8 are probably better than the most likely loosies that will start the First Test.

Ponies by 3-7 points.

I agree about Smith, although I doubt McCabe would have made much difference at 12.

With To'omua at 10 you've got to have someone who can find a gap and offload outside him.

Also important to note they didn't have White which probably played a part.

Would anyone say with confidence JOC (James O'Connor) is better than To'omua for the game plan Deans is going to play?

The only difference is JOC (James O'Connor) has the experience, but damn if I don't think To'omua might shade him for ability to run a backline
