Brumbies v British & Irish Lions - Wednesday, 9 July 8:00pm, Canberra

[Tomikin]

Debz with a horror first pass

 

[Shiggins]

They are respecting the defence

They didn't need too. Scrum there and it's probabaky a yellow and card after 3 minutes

Finally get out of their half and get some possession and immediately heaps pressure back on his team. Not a good moment.

These games are hard to watch towards the end. Our super clubs just can't keep up with the lions depth off the bench

The bench players should be able to catch and pass. Its not like they are bringing soccer players on.

 

[Tomikin]

God Remier is the best bench 7

Let's go boys..

Clear knock on by Mitchell there.

 

[Shiggins]

How many times can he knock it on ? Union has a problem ATM with knock ons not being called. Used to be if you made a mistake it's a knock on. Now it has to be a meter forward to be called.

 

[A mutterer]

Clearly mildly endowed ponies are slightly better than a flower.

Well done Muirhead another held up over the line

 

[Derpus]

I reckon the Reds will be pretty disappointed with their showing in retrospect.

[The Chairman]

Lions were good. Few Brumbies moments they would look back on that could've made it alot closer, 3 men completely missing the maul, HT drop-out meltdown etc. Should make for excellent watching vs the Wallabies

 

[Wilson]

I reckon the Reds will be pretty disappointed with their showing in retrospect.

I don't think they needed too much retrospect for that, but it should hopefully light a real fire under those guys getting another crack on Saturday.

Does go to show the difference having a proper 7 on the field makes - Reimer was a big part of keeping the Brumbies in touch with the Lions throughout this second half.

 

[drewprint]

Well done Brumbies. I’ll repeat what I said after the Waratahs game - the Wallabies can roll these pricks.

[Happy]

Lions dominated territory the whole game but nowhere near as clinical in attack as I expected. Brumbies defence for the most part was very good. If we had our Wallabies players I think we would have given it a good shake.
