“Larkham was excited to welcome vice-captain Andy Muirhead back to the training paddock on Tuesday following his knee injury and broken nose in the Brumbies' round four win over the Highlanders that also saw Len Ikitau pick up ligament damage to his knee.
The coach said...
Any word on injuries? Feel like last year the brums did a good weekly update with the team doctor.
Schoupp didn’t look great but Vella doing a good job of stepping in. Longegan’s tonight looked rough being stretchered off.
Keen to see Jack Deb back getting some game time ahead of finals...
Wilson just plays so much lighter than he is. Valentini another huge week. Would love to see Wilson step it up and make the metres in contact consistently.
Feels like some brumbies players are well off the pace this year? Ikitau especially - dropping off tackles, can’t make half breaks and metres in contact.
Uncharacteristic and confusing. A team that are known for their success off the back off great structure are throwing it out the window.
Im all in on this - but how likely is it we’ll actually see it? Eddie hasn’t given Neville any game time, same goes for other players like Lonegan who you’d want to get a look at given Whites trending downwards.
I think McReight needs to stop pushing the pas offload in low percentage plays. Always feels like a big part of his game.
Bell was a monster when he came on.
Uelese starting would have me highly concerned that our line out goes to shit which puts huge set piece pressure in an environment where the ball goes further and the crowd is louder.
Would make an easy game plan for the bok in kicking for territory, putting pressure on the line-out and off...
Thought Berry had some shocking 50/50 calls against the brums. Chiefs seemed to be able to enter the side of the ruck whenever they felt like it without getting pinged.
Tom Wright and Noah had shockers. Good all season until pressure moments. Was surprised at the brumbies not having scrum...
