And he's returning home to Sydney for this game, only now he's on the winning side.:D
Fair enough. Missed the venue bit:) Mind you he never played for the Tahs but won plenty of comps for Sydney Uni. Vui could claim to be a Force Reds Tahs or Brumbies player

Anyone else having problems with the live stream? Precisely why streaming is not yet a viable alternative to live TV. The only action since about the 5th minute has been the clock continuing to tick over.

I can see why you're having more issues with the stream than the Tahs fans.

Lol you're going to compare the rugby.com.au stream to something like Kayo/Optus which would run on something like 1000x the budget? Kayo/Optus are almost flawless.

Tahs A side well on top. 28 - 0 at half time. They are dominant at set piece, at the breakdown and have better handling and attacking skills. The only part of the game where the Runners are at least competitive is in defense, but even there they are not getting off the line with any urgency. With such dominance over the whole of the game, the Tahs really don't need a Saffa referee display to help them along. Penalty count must be heavily in their favour in the first half ..

That said, there are some impressive performances by the Tahs A side. So much more effort and aggression in the forwards than they have shown in a long time in the Super side.

Not impressed with any of the Runners at this stage. Foremost though in the disappointment stakes must be Vui (has he ever scrummaged before?) and Pasitoa who has failed to make his mark and mostly has a pretty sorry kicking game. Mason has it all over him at half time.

Vui was punted from Tahs for his lack of scrummaging ability. (Pretty big attribute for a front rower imho). I thought he might develop at the Brumbies given their strength in this area, but he stills pack down like the back row convert that he is

I'm liking Kayo but it has hardly been flawless. Most likely my issue is my own connection - we dont have NBN and 5g is not available. Still, hardly flawless.

The visit to Japan to play the Sunwolves must be looking very unlikely due to the coronavirus outbreak worsening. Reports coming out about socvcer games being canceled and even doubts about the Olympics, at least as far as teams setting up there prior to the Games starting.

I certainly wouldn't want the Brumbies to go there if there is any risk of contagion at all.
