Brumbies vs Crusaders 6th April - Christchurch Stadium

[Derpus]

$11 looks to be about right, I think. The Tahs would be no hope against this Crusaders' side.

 

[Derpus]

I don't agree.....

Cusack has been playing well at 7 as part of a well balanced combination with Valetini and McCaffrey, and the only other option is Samu who is already in the starting side due to Valetini's absence.....

Brown is only there because of injuries to Pocock, Valetini and Hyne.

I feel that Valetini is a bigger loss than Pocock right now.

How long is Valetini out for?

How long is Valetini out for?

Too long.........

A couple of months I think?

 

[Derpus]

That guys career is really stalling hey

 

[Up the Guts]

Brumbies are competitive so far, not sure if locks need to be kicking, but they're competitive. Pulu has been very good defensively on the left wing, Speight not so good.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Speight really needs to stay wide & shepherd Reece back towards Kuridrani etc, if he gives him any width to operate in he'll get skinned, Reece has serious wheels.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Try?

Nah, dropped it short.

 

[Up the Guts]

Not sure about Smithy talking up the Crusader's defensive organisation after the ball was dropped over the line.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

YC Franks. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Not too much higher & it's Red.

 

[Up the Guts]

Good call Jaco and TMO

 

[Slim 293]

Lucky......... shoulder charge to the head is generally a red card.

 

[Rebels3]

Swain looks the goods

 

[Up the Guts]

How many penalties in the red zone?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Lucky... shoulder charge to the head is generally a red card.

Correct. But shoulder-on-chest is Yellow only.

 

[Slim 293]

Correct. But shoulder-on-chest is Yellow only.

But it hit him in the face........

 

[Up the Guts]

Great work CLL. Really liked his work with ball in hand so far.

 

[Up the Guts]

Need another one before half time.

 

[Up the Guts]

Darcy Swain holding that maul up Arnold style.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Strange needs to be subbed at HT.

But it hit him in the face....

But it didn't..........

 

[Up the Guts]

Terrific first half from the Brumbies. Will be hard to keep it up in the second but should be very happy with their work so far.

 

[Slim 293]

Strange needs to be subbed at HT.



But it didn't....

The chest is located below the neck..........
