The Chiefs really did buckle under the pressure in the second half, but equally the Cru just bludgeoned them into submission in the tight-loose and aerially. They kicked the air out of the ball, but they did it very effectively (especially the kick chase) and the Tribe had no answer. They just...

I thought Argentina were great value for their victory last night. They play a very entertaining, attacking brand of footy, especially on counter attack. The midfield for the Lions was big and will be a handful, but they weren't really in sync at times. I'd like for us to give Sione a bit back...

Very disappointed with that. A game we should have won, were it not for two really soft tries in the first half and the fact that we didn't take the points when they were on offer. We're still fucking mediocre.

That performance from Ardie yesterday is one of the greatest I've seen from an individual at the elite level for many a long day. What a player that bloke is.

Kerevi and Skelton I could see coming into the squad, though in Skelton's case it will really depend on the type of game plan Joe has (he's not a typical lock in many ways). We're thin at 12 and if Kerevi is fit and playing well I'd like to see him in the wider group at the very least.

Disappointing. We couldn't hang onto the pill and thus couldn't get out of our half. The Brumbies are too good in situations where they have most of the ball and field position.

Game over

Both teams haven’t been onside at any stage tonight

Playing with a huge amount of heart here but lacking a bit of polish. I feel like the Brumbies could break this game open at any moment

Spilled pill is really costing us here

That’s a bugger about Carlo. It’s going to swing that back row battle in the Ponies favour unfortunately

Last chance saloon for mine. We need a win here or it's season over.

Len has developed an excellent short passing game that means he's equally useful at 12 or 13.

I've read the comments on the Roar article and I think there are quite a few people who think similarly to us here: that this was good outcome and that Parkes is trying to spin it as some catastrophe, presumably because of his antipathy towards RA.

Makes you a bit excited about the possibility doesn't it.
