Brumbies vs Bulls - Round 7 S15

[whatty]

Heaven forbid I was a bulls fan but even the anger I feel for the stormers I would be fuming as a bulls supporter!
So much talent, so little direction.

 

[Rassie]

Maybe next year we can have the players decide the match result rather than a referee. 1 all call it a draw with the "questionable call."

this said, smith will not play for australia vs the lions because the aru will not allow it.

The ARU will allow it providing he's contracted to the Brumbies come selection time. As things stand, Smith's on a short-term, three month Brumbies' contract and he's due to return to Suntory for the start of their season. Moves have already been made to extend Smith's Brumbies contract, delaying his return to Suntory, making him eligible for Wallaby selection. I'd imagine Eddie Jones will be enlisted to persuade Suntory of the wisdom of the change.

That said, as someone posted earlier, Dingo probably wouldn't pick him anyway.

 

[TSR]

I dunno. Dingo might pick him at hooker.

 

[Italophile]

Only if Dingo thinks he's playing for the Tahs.

Some pretty mindless rugby by both sides, particularly the kicking. Dear oh bloody dear, what can we do to stop the aerial ping pong?

In comparsion with the Reds Bulls game a week earlier the following statistics were posted on espnscrum
Genia ( replaced after 65 min) kicked 10 times
Cooper kicked 8 times
Total Penalties 23
Brumbies Bulls
White kicked 12 times in 80 mins
To'omua 3 times
Total penalties 26
what I missed in all the GG comments on the Reds Bulls games was the focus on the kicking seen plenty in this thread though

Maybe if we kick it down there in their territory they will run it and that gives us a chance to win a penalty because at the rucks if you do not enter with a ruler and and a compass you get penalized with all sorts of referee jargon. What happened when they did not kick? Exactly that!

No team will come within 10 points of the Brumbies at home all year I reckon

Great prediction
