TT Rd 3: Blues vs ACT Brumbies

Disappointing from White, Ioane shot out gap, opened up but White didn't take advantage instead panicked and threw dodgy ball.

What is worrying for me the brumbies is how their scrum is being dominated by kiwi packs with Sio and AAA’s on

I was thinking the same. I think Slips will be the only Brumbies front rower as a walk up in the 23, won’t surprise me to see Pone, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) or Faulkner kick Alan out. Sio’s days as a Wallaby are over save for the 23 RWC when he might get in as a squaddie on the basis he covers all 3 front row slots.

Fuck me did the Blues backline actually manage to pull off a tricky dicky move?! Had a few goes this year but that must be the first time it's actually come off. Good to see.

Following the sensible approach from the Rebels match, and first half of 2020, looks to be paying dividends. Who would've thought.....

Yeah, they’ve been monstered this game

My reasoning not to be too dismayed is look at Wales. Their domestic teams never do particularly well yet they won the Six Nations.

I’m not too worried from a Wallaby perspective, it’s our depth that is the problem, our best 23 is up there with the best. But this is easily the worst performance from an Aussie team so far in the TT, and that’s saying something, and it’s a worry <<< Edit: if we are to persist with the TT route that is

I am beginning to feel with this TT it is a pity we can’t just declare after end of Round 3 and call it quits for this season.

Even the dogcrap #9th ranked Blues lineout managed to largely defuse the #1 ranked Brumbies murderous lineout drive and rolling maul.

It is surely the greatest point of embarrassment for Australian rugby this season.
