Brumbies Vs Chiefs

[Strewthcobber]

Second touch from CLL is all class. Followed the ball all the way up the pitch

 

[Up the Guts]

Must be nice running on two Wallabies when you’re up by 30.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Nice, heads up rugby by the Brumbies. Simple things done well.

Great to see.

I hope the Tahs are watching this in Tokyo. The Brumbies are doing the fundamental things well first before the razzle dazzle. Rugby is really a simple game made look far too complicated at times. But the Brumbies are showing that executing the basics well creates the opportuities for the special moment down the track.

Looking for foul play. Are you serious?

 

[Up the Guts]

Very impressed with the handles of some of the Brumbies’ big men.

 

[Up the Guts]

That’s shocking refereeing. Are they supposed to leave the field of play to move back onside? Ffs Gardner.

 

[Up the Guts]

Well done CLL, best game since he’s returned.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Really tuff call

I've always thought that Aus refs are much harder on Aus teams in general than the Kiwi and SA refs are on their teams.

Gardner is trying to do some reverse bias for being Aussie, he's being stupidly pedantic.

I’ve seen this before from Gardner and it doesn’t really matter who is playing, if there’s a try against the run of play he will almost always look for some way to disallow it.

Then he needs to address that because the retreating Brumbies did not impend the Chiefs in any way. They were actively trying to get onside. The Chiefs threw a poor pass and Peni should have had his hat trick.

It was just a flat out wrong call, thankfully the Brumbies are so far ahead it doesn’t matter.

 

[Up the Guts]

The Brumbies’ maul is basically impenetrable.

 

[The Honey Badger]

That was pretty

 

[Strewthcobber]

That maul is awseome

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

The Brumbies have got a fair bit of stick for being a bit too one dimensional recently. Relying on their set piece too much. They've certainly shown that they can play with ball in hand tonight. But let's not overlook the beauty of the power elements of the game executed well. A beastly scrum or maul is a thing of wonder.

 

[Up the Guts]

At least TK has turned up from the start this season so we don’t need to drop him from the Wallabies only to get flogged.

 

[Strewthcobber]

I'm pretty sure that's the second time an Australian team has put 50 points on a Kiwi Super team, and Brumbies now have the highest score (Tahs v Hurricanes, 52 points in 1996)

Edit - this is wrong!

Chiefs you have officially been smashed off the park....
