The reds are too right? And they were superior to the Brumbies last year.
My my head says the Brumbies will win, but my heart says there’s nothing better than sitting them on their arses. So I live in hope....

Tough gig in Canberra for the much improved Tahs though.
Brumbies will be too strong right across the park.
It would be nice if it is a dry track with no rain though.

Ah, the memories, hey KOB. Remind me, how many times in the past 5 years?
Truth is that it is last week's ladder leader versus this week's ladder leader. Tahs are definitely on the improve and while I reckon the Brumbies will get the bikkies, I expect it will be close and a win for the visitors will not be a total surprise.
I hope we do win
But the ponies pigs are too well drilled & they have the brains to take all the points, play territory & maul us into the ground
And the Tahs have too many forward injuries already; and still think in the middle of a flood, rugby is about entertainment

I'm much more entertained when we win

Bold decision by the Tahs not to name a reserve halfback!

It is, who could be covering it, Turner maybe?

Brumbies should monster the Tahs pack! Six current Wallabies v one current Wallaby and a guy who got 10 minutes off the bench in his only test three years ago (HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)). I would be a lot more comfortable with Cridge, Swinton and Hooper available.
The no reserve 9 is a punt, hope Gordon doesn't go off five minutes in! I imagine Harrison would go to 9, does anyone know if anyone in that side has any experience at 9?

Coleman must think he needs more forwards than backs but I agree, no back up halfback is a big gamble. What teams do that?

Who would go to flyhalf to replace Noah?
Simone?

I would prefer Simone but Ryan Lonergan filled in there last week when Noah went off with blood.
That looks to be about the strongest team the Brumbies can put out. A good showing, or a win, by the Tahs will speak volumes for their development under Coleman.
EDIT : welcome back Ruan Smith.
