I agree that White and To'omua did play well however I thought Jesus was a little quiet, and IIRC I can't recall hearing his name come up in the commentary.

Brumbies look a team that plays good intelligent rugby, and I sincerely hope that Link doesn't go picking White and To'omua for the Wallabies, they look bloody good to me. I really think he should stick with Genia and QC (Quade Cooper)
Genia and Cooper are the form halves in a struggling side. They will carve the AB's up.

Benny is a fantastic captain calm and likable to refs. He never get annoyed at the ref.. I remember earlier this year he said to one of the refs 'You dont worry Mate, im going to tear him a new one' and processed to tear one of his players a new one about stupid penalties..
Looking like the your hard done by is not the way..

Chiefs really lacking direction out there in attack without TKB and/or Cruden.
Messam isn't a great captain either. Very good player and someone I rate highly but not as an onfield leader when his team needs a rocket.
Chiefs played lateral particularly in the midfield. When they got their game going though, it was their forwards who stepped it up not their backs. But Bernie coached his team well to diffuse a lot of that close in forward momentum for most of the game.

Well done Brumbies! Great result.
With the Sharks yet to tour and the NZ sides about to cannabalise each other, you could easily top the log.

Wow, the brumbies can NEVER say anything negative against Steve Walsh again. All the 50/50s and even 70/30s went the way of the brumbies.
Brumbies infringe: "No white!!!!", doesn't blow whistle
Chiefs infringe: "phweeeeeeep"
In from the side, offside, forward passes, whatever you want to pick, high tackles, feet into touch, the brumbies were allowed to get away with it, whilst the chiefs got penalised for the same.
Dominant display by the Brumbies 16th man.

Lol!!
I'm not at the point where I care if the brumbies win or lose anymore because my teams long gone now (
), but I do like to watch a fair game. And this one wasn't.

They just realised that. Not the same team. ...few injuries. ..maybe they will kick on in the 2nd half of season.
Almost the complete opposite to last years GF where the Chiefs had finals at home, whilst the Brumbies travelled 30,000 kms.
The Chiefs injuries really hurt them but their depth has been a feature of their 2 recent titles and it only took that yellow card to James Lowe to open up the game.
It's good to see the Brumbies finish off a game properly. The only real time they have was the Hurricanes game where they had 4 tries and have 5 games where they have scored 3 tries this season.
The trailing off towards the end of games is still a concern and the 2 tries from the Chiefs were when the Brumbies were really on the backfoot after a series of penalties and scrum issues.
The bench needs to gain experience and it's a case of chicken or the egg about when to give them those chances.
It's a good win and they'll take with a tough stretch of games coming up including the Crusaders (a), Sharks (h) then the SA tour of Cheetahs and Bulls then the Rebels (h).
