R10 Brumbies vs Stormers - 11:05PM

Great game by the Brumbies, lovely prolonged periods of defense with out conceding penalties. Could teach the Rebels a trick or two.

Speight surprisingly good in defense. I thought Powell was very good and of course Arnold was another level in maul defense.

Also thought Briant is a pretty decent ref.

Boy do the brumbies would have to have the best depth in quality back row stocks

If Poey is back next week, I'd like to see Brown move to 6, Poey at 7 and Samu at 8. When fit, Valetini would come straight back in while McCaffrey and Samu would have a ding dong battle for the No 8 spot.

Agree with all of that, Speight use to be an amazing defender, his been off the boil for awhile, but lets hope his getting his groove back.

But played as the open side flanker in the SA formation.
Just remember you saying earlier that you where happy for him being selected at 7 in his proper position, if that's the talent we have at (I don't know what drop 4th ? ) feeling better about losing Poey next year (little).

Brown looks like your typical NZ No 7. Always on the ball and a constant threat of making a turnover. Can also carry good as he has a relatively lower centre of gravity.

I’ll be controversial and say that the Brumbies seem to play better without Poey. Maybe give him a shift off the pine next week.

Nah, they've had some big losses while Poey has been out as well. They have been inconsistent, not only week to week but within the duration of single games, this year and are just getting back to their form from late last year. Poey will improve any team he plays for.

Slot McCaffrey back at 8, give Brown the 7 jersey and let him continue to play the game he put in against the Stormers, and move Samu to 6. If McCaffrey isn't over his injury, then Cusack gets a run at 6.
