Re: Brumbies Vs Reds
the reds had a 6 day turn around and a flight back from south africa, as opposed to the bulls who had a 8 day turn around and flew across from hamilton... but im sure none of this played a part :nta:Blue said:

As for where the Finals wil be played, there is no formal decision as yet.
The Bulls Union will do all they can to ensure it's at Loftus.
If they drag it out to Orlando in Soweto I just hope they bring a lot of local schoolkids in and make the most of the situation. I'd hate to see an open seat.

What you don't think the Reds will play the Bulls in the final at loftus after the Reds have caused an upset and beat the Stormers in Cape Town in the semis? You need to show some more belief in your team. Tut-tut. :

Brumbies will get up this week...........sorry Reds but last time reds were favourites heading into clash at Canberra stadium baby Brums stepped up & put 'em away.
Reds going alot better now than in 2008 but if Brumbies don't play any better, pretty sure the cold Canberra weather will get 'em.
Brums have shown they don't need to hit 3rd gear to win but they'll need 4th & 5th this week.
Brumbies by 9.

Hmmm, possibly no giteau for the brumbies, this could turn into a whitewash
Matt Giteau facing suspension after criticising referee after Waratahs defeat
By Karlis Salna
April 27, 2010 .Brumbies playmaker Matt Giteau is facing suspension and a hefty fine for criticising referee Steve Walsh in the wake of his side's crucial loss to the Waratahs.
The Brumbies are still fuming over a decision by Walsh to disallow a try in their 19-12 loss in Sydney at the weekend and are pushing for him to be stood down from this weekend's roster.
Walsh is also scheduled to take charge of the Brumbies' clash with the Reds in Canberra on Saturday which the Brumbies must win if they are to have any hope of making the finals.
It is believed the Brumbies have appealed to SANZAR referees boss Lyndon Bray to drop Walsh for the match but an announcement will not be made until Wednesday at the earliest.
However, it is Giteau that could miss the next match after slamming Walsh's performance and suggesting there would be no point in turning up against the Reds if the referee was not stood down.
The Australian Rugby Union have referred Giteau's comments to the SANZAR secretariat in New Zealand for determination on whether he may have breached the players' code of conduct.
If he has Giteau will likely face a judiciary hearing on Thursday.
There is a clause in players' contracts that they are not to publicly criticise a referee or touch judge's handling of a match.
Unlike the NRL, there are no prescribed punishments for breaches of the code of conduct, but there are examples of similar criticism of referees having been heavily punished in the past.
Former Reds coach Eddie Jones was fined $10,000 for criticising referee Matt Goddard after a loss to the Brumbies at Suncorp Stadium in 2007.
SANZAR has a zero tolerance policy in terms of criticism of referees and indicated at the time that Jones faced a hefty fine and/or a suspension from coaching.
"I don't know if we will turn up,'' Giteau said on Monday when asked about how the Brumbies would react if Walsh was not dropped for this weekend.
"What's the point?''
"Like everyone who knows rugby, that was a try,'' he went on to say when asked about a decision by Walsh to disallow a five-pointer to Brumbies fullback Adam Ashley-Cooper.
It is understood the Brumbies submitted a scathing post-match report of Walsh's performance where they were unhappy with numerous areas, including the disallowed try.
