Semi Final - Brumbies vs Jaguares, Sat 29 June, 9:05 am (AEST)

[Benaud]

Jags are certainly on fire. But this is a worrying choke from the Brumbies. If they can't handle pressure, it doesn't bode well for the Wallabies.

 

[Derpus]

Sheesh this is our shoe in first choice hooker.

 

[Up the Guts]

Hooper should start practicing throwing

 

[Benaud]

Sheesh this is our shoe in first choice hooker.

Amazing how bad he's been. I'd be a vastly superior option right now. Complete contrast to the rest of the year.

 

[Derpus]

Choking

 

[TSR]

Their under fire, that’s for sure. Good chance for them to dig in. Plenty of time left to turn it around.

They need to give Fainga’a more to work with in the line out.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Jaguares playing good smart rugby - Brumbies just horrible...

At this rate hard to see Brumbies a chance to win this one at 20-0 and way they are playing vs Jaguares.

Sad to see Brumbies at there very worst in such an important game.

 

[Derpus]

Ill be surprised it they score a point

 

[TSR]

Good scrum

 

[TSR]

Well if they fix their line out, straight away they’ll be much more in the contest. It’s hard to look good when your are constantly handing over ball.

 

[Tomikin]

Maul it boys go in with some points..

 

[Up the Guts]

Here comes the comeback

 

[dru]

Try Brumbies. Thank god for that.

 

[Tomikin]

try time, well done boys. take some heart into the second half.

 

[Derpus]

Yiss boys. That was important.

Now for the coach to tear their fucking heads off.

 

[Benaud]

Desperately needed. For Fainga'a as much as the Brumbies. Glimmer of hope.

 

[Up the Guts]

Hopefully FF (Folau Fainga'a) takes some confidence from that. Now the Jaguares scrum is cracking I expect the Brumbies to get back into it more. We’ve seen Argentinian teams fall apart after a big lead a few times, wouldn’t discount the Brumbies yet.

 

[Dan54]

This game is still alive fellas, bloody good semi so far!

 

[Tomikin]

Game of halfs only 2 tires behind, I feel for Fainga'a the first few lineouts weren't his fault, it was good defense and poor takes under pressure.

Hopefully getting the try will sharpen him up. Lets go Brumbies 40 mins 2 tires and we are in front.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Well to say that was timely to get a try as hooter goes is biggest understatement. 13 points down vs 20 sounds a whole lot better - especially given how horrible the Brumbies have been vs the Jaguares who have played intelligent rugby.

Nothing too flashy from the Jaguares but very very good smart rugby - credit to the Jaguares coaching staff for preparing them for this game as they have certainly done their homework.

Hopefully brumbies regroup and come out as side they have been last few weeks - god knows they need to against very good and disciplined jaguares side.
