Chiefs v Brumbies, Rnd 4, FMG Stadium Feb 22 17:05

[Up the Guts]

Total forward dominance, what a sight.

 

[Bobby Sands]

So proud of The Brumbies, this is inspired footy.

Only upside of this is that every other mofo in my tipping group will have gone Chiefs too.

Who's been saying Lolesio isn't a 10? by golly he aint bad.

Can’t judge the youngsters on one week

What's up with having Mumps? No MMR vaccine as a kid?

Apparently all players had the vaccine Pfitzy, but also apparently the vaccine becomes less effective after 15 - 20 years.

This is cleansing after the Rebels performance, feels great. I had the Brumbies to get thumped - very happy to proven wrong.

What a great half of rugby. How good is it to see a well coached team working as a unit.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Going back a few minutes - Chiefs 9 slaps the ball out of Powel's hand. Always wondered why that isn't a penalty - no attempt to gain possessions, so if it goes forward (and it did), surely a penalty?

Agree. And Cruden did it again later in the half. Even more cynical than an attempted intercept imo.

 

[molman]

I think this game has shown that Simone brings some glue to the team, they just have better flow when he's playing.

 

[Dctarget]

Hopefully they don't bottle it like the reds last week, but I don't spy any Saffa refs near.

If brumbies can play that sort of 40mins for 80 minutes week in week out they would be finalists and have me travelling to Canberra to watch them play finals footy.

As that was pure quality footy played with belief and intent across entire 1 to 15.

Will miller got 7 sown up As he was excellent but as was entire forward pack but special call out to slipper as well.

Backs skilful and constantly threatening..

Just do the full 80 and show the rest of the Comp you are the real deal As brumbies on paper have superb squad just need to have belief and results to prove it.

D I admit I haven't been entirely on the bandwagon. Thought he was a better 12 than 10. But he is having a blinder so far, as is another of my usual targets for criticism, Will Miller. Has been enormous and in the first half has outplayed Cane.

 

[Dctarget]

Also no fkn maul tries! stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Lolesio out of all the youngsters at 10 shown the real deal. He has made it clear he owns 10 position at brumbies and let’s face it needs to as brumbies have 3 very good youngsters at 10...

 

[Bobby Sands]

Brumbies holding the twine Australian rugby together the best they can!

BR I have for many a season past been saying will miller under rated and hence his performance not that surprising - he just never got enough game time to really show that given behind hooper at tahs. Signing will miller was great signing for brumbies trust me.

 

[Up the Guts]

Best phase play I have seen in a decade

 

[Rugbynutter39]

I was almost going to call out Samus performance for special mention on my first half summary - now showing he deserves special mention with that try but really how good all the brumbies forewards playing

 

[Dctarget]

Samu stand up, love that direction.
