[John David]

Should be a cracker

 

[Merrow]

Should be a balmy 4 or 5 degrees by game time. Looking forward to this one.

 

[Viking]

Powell should be starting.

 

[Cbrando]

That Tahs result makes things interesting but it shows that running the angles and looking for the offload are key against the opposition. Brumbies offload is curiously absent.

 

[Happy]

I think a win with a bonus point will put Brumbies back on top of the Australian Conference. Tahs now 5 points ahead, but 1 less win.

Good point - I'm not sure how the count back works.

 

[Sully]

Jeez that bonus point last game would have come in handy.

 

[Slim 293]

Wins > Points differential

So the Brumbies just need a BP win to go back on top.......

And if they can't secure one against the Sunwolves in Canberra then they shouldn't be near the finals.........

 

[Brumby Runner]

Correct Slim, and it is not anywhere near a certainty that they will beat the Sunwolves, with or without a bonus point, on form so far this year.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Anyone gonna make a prediction?

I'm gonna say Brumbies by 31.

The only hope for the sunwolves is if Carter is penalised at every attacking lineout or we miss most of our penalty touch finders. Sure they've both already happened this season but never both things in the one match.

Moon dogs by 2. Because it would be amusing.

I picked the Chiefs by 22 and look how that worked out.

With that in mind: Ponies by 22.

 

[Houndi]

Forwards to dominate this one, Brumbies by 50-70

 

[Tordah]

"No Michael Leitch at No. 8 for the Wolves" says the genius commentator (Maloney or Martin)

 

[boyo]

Toua's kicking

 

[Pedrolicus]

Fardy in the in goal, Wolves look in trouble. LL converts and it's 7-0 12:45 gone

 

[Pedrolicus]

two lineout steals by brums already
