9/15 of the starting players I believe the Reds are better. McKellar is a hell of a coach.

To be fair, the Brumbies success is driven off Lord Laurie's mauling ability. They're literally a 1-trick pony :D


I'm hoping they save all their mauling for the final.............

I want nothing but rolling mauls, driving mauls, mauls from kick returns, the backline joining in the maul, maybe even a good ol' truck and trailer..........

I don't want to see the ball go past the flyhalf, soley for the purpose of getting up field to set up another maul.

Have the Brumbies had 3 different starting halfbacks in 3 weeks now? Poor Kuenzle probably just wants a bit of consistency in his halves partner.

CFS, Stewart and Paisami all back and available for selection. Ruan Smith with the squad as injury cover, should offer some depth in the front row. Backline i'd like to see

9. McDermott
10. JOC (James O'Connor)
11. Daugunu
12. Stewart
13. Petaia
14. CFS
15. Campbell

20. Maloula
21. Hegarty
22. Paisami
When did the Rebels release Smith ?
 

Uh huh

I think this widespread limited understanding of their capabilities as a team has served the Brumbies very well over the past few years. Focus too hard on the maul defence and they'll tear you to shreds with a huge range of lineout variations and enterprising set piece back line play. Get complacent and two or three times a season they can slip back to just mauling a team into the dust.
