Or a fullback. Every time I see highlights of a Brumbies game, he's there making mistakes.

Makes you want Mogg back, right?

Fucken oath I do. At least he could kick

Well, well what a difference a week makes! Maybe they shoud swab the Bush Donkeys?! .... settle guys, just joking, great effort tonite, just got better as the game went on. I really didnt think they would be up for this game but they have turned things around big time!

 

[Brumbieman]

Toua!!!!

 

[Slim 293]

They couldn't muster a BP win from that.......... pathetic.

The gulf in class between the forwards and the backs is massive......... what the hell is Bernie doing?

Slim given how bad everything has been on and off the field a dominate win is enough to make us smile. We looked very well organised and worked very hard. We do have it a lot tougher playing all the Kiwi teams,. The saffas aren't as good as it looks on paper.

You've got to be masochistic to enjoy watching that backline play...........

Great win. Sure we could've won by more but it was a massive improvement, if only in game plan. Whingers can whinge but Ill take ANY win over the bulls, they're a quality side and the brums made them look one dimensional.

Toua had a mare.

Impressed with Ah Wong. He only had a few involvements, but every one had a big impact. Big hits in defence and some nice passing under pressure.

Dargaville good too.

For the 10th week in a row...........

Given the recent past, a good win for the Brumbies to get. Forwards looked very solid, although I couldn't for the life of me work out if either side was really winning the scrums, as the shove went one way then the other, early engages, some funny calls both ways. But they were hungry at the breakdown, and good impact. Carter looked better (good), Pocock usual, Fardy pretty good, most of the pack were good.
The backs, well, Leali'ifano is doing little or nothing to create anything at the moment. Shuffles it on mostly, very rarely really takes it to the line. He can obviously play better than this, but what's up? A few good touches but many mediocre ones too. It's a mystery. Toua, for his pace, makes an awful lot of errors.
Overall, more positives than negatives, I'd say.

Silm never said i enjoyed it. Our back line play dreadful. Cyclopath said it better then i.

Brums go back to top of the Strayan Conference but can be overtaken if 'tahs score a BP win tomorrow.

No need to go over the top Gloomy. It was an improved effort, no doubt, but still a long way short of what's needed to make the finals. Felt good coming away from a win tonight though.

 

[Brumby Jack]

A win is a win and after a quiet month including two big defeats at home, they'll take it.

Some things worked well tonight, including defence to hold the Bulls tryless.

Some good attack in parts but still a lot to work on but good to see Kuridrani get a bit of form with the Tests not far off.

A few skill things to work on, including kicking for touch which really cruelled any chance of attack.

Can anybody offer an explanation for having a left foot kicker take the penalty shots for line on the left hand side of the ground, and vice versa on the right hand side?

Toua missed touch with a penalty from about 10m in on the left side, while the first kick Christian, a right footer had was from the right hand side. Seems reasonable to me that a left footer should kick to the right touch line and the right footer to the left touch line.

Because they if accurate could chew of more metres because the curve would give them that extra yards. Problem is were bout as accurate as a blind leper playing darts.

This is where Nic White and Jesse Mogg to a degree are badly missed.
