Good to see limited number of Brumbies in JID. Round 1 Vella v Schoupp for Gungahlin v Royals. Also Shaw & Anderson. Picked for this week's Bye round in JID - Anderson, Meredith, Shaw & Thorn.

Couple of non game sights I saw were felt sad and proud that Brumbies had a remembrance on scoreboard for Shawn Mackay and 15th year anniversary of his passing. Also post game 3 Props chatting Slipper, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Tom Ross. It shows they're ageing and all similar with beards and same looking.

Success has many parents.

Well they have been collecting replacement players for scrum injuries.

Pretty sure LHP and still to comeback from ACL12 Months ago in summer trial against NSW at St Edmunds College

I think you need to consider the other 10 - Super Rugby or injured and the numbers becomes Brumbies 18 Reds 13 Waratahs 12 Force 8 Rebels 4

Noting that John Ulugia moves up from the U19's coaching team to take Dan Palmer's role with the scrum as Assistant Coach for Brumbies.

Now the comp is won & done will be interested in the selections going forward. Whether size & reputation still counts.

Lachlan Hooper The younger brother of Brumbies and Wallabies star Tom Hooper, Lachlan has led the junior Brumbies throughout the season. A Junior Wallabies talent in his first year out of school, many experts are tipping Lachlan to be even better than his older brother. Captain Lachlan Hooper...

Toby Macpherson Another Junior Wallabies talent, Macpherson is an emerging lock who can impose his physical presence on opposition packs. The teenager impressed for Uni-Norths throughout the John I Dent Cup and looks set to join a deep crop of Brumbies locks in the coming years. Like Hooper...
