Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

They gotta stop scoring - already over my margin, but I DID pick the 'landers.
Helloooooo, Brumbies....anyone there?

 

[Rugby Rat]

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

Nice rugby. Bit of talent in the backs to go with the huge grunt up front.

 

[Rugby Rat]

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

Brumbies surely will get some points. 19 probably already a bridge too far.

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

seems no highlander is keen to tackle Mortlock with a full head of steam... 7-19

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

Cowan off so McIntosh is captain
McIntosh off so on their third captain now..

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

They don't HAVE to do a different move every time. Just keep the in side balls to Stirlo and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) happening.

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

Losing Cowan AND Mckintosh in the first game. Did they look good tho...

Might hold on 26-24 my prediction..

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

As much as it buggers up my tips, this is some comeback from the Brumbies!!

I hate to gloat BUT...

I?m tipping the Highlanders to lead early and the Brumbies bench to win it for them.

 

[RugbyReg]

Re: I hate to gloat BUT...

The Brum bench should tear this game apart

 

[Scarfman]

Damn! HIG scores, now 26-30 with 5 to go. I had BRU by 12. Let's go Ponies!

 

[cyclopath]

Oh dear...Brumbies have caved.

 

[Scarfman]

Holy double comeback, Batman, Highlanders score! 1 point with 1 to go. :shaking

 

[Scarfman]

Drop goal Lialifano. Brums pull a triple-comeback to win 33-31. Good start for the season!

Nice job Rat! :lmao:

 

[Moses]

what a game! thought I might be eating my words but the ponies brought it home in less than convincing fashion..
The kiwi who tried that clearance kick giving the brumbies the lineout in on the 22 should get some kind words from the coach......

 

[barbarian]

Rat, what was your actual tip? First we had

HIGHLANDERS BY 50....

then

Might hold on 26-24 my prediction..

So, for a thread titled "I hate to gloat BUT...", you have been totally wrong on not one but TWO occasions. Will you now eat your words for all to see? Or did you actually tip the Brumbies all along?

 

[Rugby Rat]

The Ref was the winner on the day. :
Great game to watchand I did take the Landers each way. To win and +2.5. JUST !

Cowan and Mckintosh gone after 20 the difference at the end. With Cowan the Landers hold on. Without they lose by 2.

 

[Rugby Rat]

Some really nice attack by both sides. Maybe the Landers the edge in the rucks. Smithy doing his best to hold the balance.

Lineouts dominated by the Brumbies and the scrums refreshingly solid on both sides...even.

 

[PaarlBok]

Myself tipped the BumBoys, but with a bit more. :thumb
