Round 2: Rebels v Force 8pm - 1st March

[Brumby Runner]

I think the problem was that he was pretty much the only jumper from what I could see.

Towards the end Canham started to dominate in the lineout.

I think Kev is still probably out of his depth, but I think this turnaround was due to him: Bringing Tualima on @ 6 for Wilkin took you from 2 jumpers plus Leota and Kemeny to 3 plus Kemeny, which presents a much bigger threat to try and cover.

That and Williams leaving the field around the same time after he had made a mess of the Rebels throw. There was a big drop off with the Force bench on that meant the Rebels lineout could go unmolested and start stealing a few Force throws by the end.

I get the feeling that with last weeks issues they might have tried to go back to basics, but it made the lineout very easy to read.

Daugunu was on fire. The performance of Force in the second half was a completely disaster

Towards the end Canham started to dominate in the lineout.

Thats because Williams went off!

 

[Derpus]

Force blew that. Dominated completely in the first half. Then conceded two of the softest trie you’ll see, ceded momentum and never got it back.

Kemeny was excellent. My MotM.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

I think the momentum is really moving towards 3-4 Australia teams with the talent better concentrated domestically.
hard to make a case for Melbourne outside of potential really.
More games and Brumbies play 3 in Melbourne?
I think less teams with better quality and more games is needed.
Anyways. Not for this thread but we just aren’t gonna be competitive again

Laugh dislike all you want but we aren’t making finals AGAIN.

No, but the ACT & Sthn NSW Rugby Union are not giving you three games...

But also, I remember the last time we shrank to greatness and that greatness never eventuated.

They were certainly looking like the better coached team for half of the game, but there was quite a drop off after they started replacing players...

 

[Dctarget]

Was our third highest score ever in history.. Not bad.
