Brumbies v Cheetahs, Round 8, Saturday 4 April 2015

[cyclopath]

Mogg on ABC radio announcing his shoulder injury from club rugby last weekend will be another 4-6 weeks out

While it is a shame for him, I can't really see that the Brumbies lose much at all with him out - Coleman is doing a good job. Another sign of a good wider squad - lose a player, fill the spot without missing a beat. Speight going OK at 13 too in Kuridrani's absence.

This whole time I thought they've been playing the Bulls.

 

[Godfrey]

White is very snappy tonight, passing off the ground really well.

 

[Godfrey]

Thanks again for taking chaff from the Reds like Butler and Enever. Couple of duds.

Not a good weekend of refereeing.........

But how many tries did the Brumbies blow?

Speight looked good at centre though.........

 

[Godfrey]

Brumbies good enough to win fairly comfortably while not making anywhere near the most of their opportunities. That's a pretty good sign, they will tighten up.

I like the look of Dargaville.

With Tomane doing his usual "make two fuck ups and then do something good" approach, if Kurindrani was fit I would be sending Tomane to the bench.

Refereeing this round has been a total fucking joke.

 

[ChargerWA]

Both bad games had a better ref running touch too.

 

[Slim 293]

Carter must've destroyed 4 Cheetahs mauls tonight.........

 

[Shiggins]

Another terrible reff performance. It didn't affect The right Outcome though. It took 70 min for Hendrix and Benjamin ( 2 of south Africas best players) to get the game. Sad

 

[Bairdy]

Never change, Shiggins.

 

[Ruggo]

Maybe its just the alcohol taking effect but Kafer & the refs made me crack up with that To'omua non-try.

Kafer: Thats a try. Every rugby player in the world would say thats a try. Try all day. Yes try. Refs will give this. A try for all money. Try all day. On the line right there. Try, try, try, try, try...

Ref: So it's no try, alright, no try. Penalty here.

Kafer: Well this is something the game needs to look at.

Me: LOL.

Brums in control so far 24min in 10-3. Cheetahs have a good chance now line-out 5m out from the try line.

Kafer had what I would call a Tim Horan moment.

Benjamin? As in Ryno Benjamin? Are you high? I love watching him play, but one of SA's best players, jeez

 

[Chris McCracken]

Kafer had what I would call a Tim Horan moment.

To be fair, I don't think he was alone. I'd been just as adamant about it being a try. It was my wife who LOL'd at me.
