It's a little bit off topic, but I'd be keen to get people's thoughts on Butler. He's obviously been doing a great job for the Brumbies filling in at 7 this year and last, but arguably doesn't play a traditional 7 role somewhat similar to Hooper. I know Lee always talks about Notters, the...

Any word on Moggy BJ?

Do the Tah's guys see any changes this week? I think the Brumbies should be pretty similar to last week - with maybe Smiler shifting into the bench lock position and Pocock into the bench backrow spot. Maybe Mogg if he's fit comes back onto the bench as well - although Dargaville didn't have...

I thought the pop up bar could've had a couple of improvements made - there wasn't a heap of seating and there was certainly a fair bit of free space, and while the music wasn't bad, a TV with the earlier rugby games (if they're on) would bring more people into the area and keep them entertained...

I'm hoping the Brums tinker a bit this week: 1. Sio 2. Moore 3. Alexander 4. Arnold 5. Carter 6. Fardy 7. Doyle 8. Butler 9. White 10. To'omua 11. Tomane 12. Lilo 13. Kurindrani 14. Speight 15. Coleman 16. Mann Rea 17. Smith 18. Smith 19. Smiler 20. Vaea 21. Dowsett 22. Dargraville 23. Mogg...

Yeah I was a bit skeptical of Arnold before the start of the season as what I'd seen I wasn't overly impressed with. Needless to say he's been pretty good over the last two weeks and Smiler seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Disappointed we didn't get to see a bit more of Doyle aside...

Seriously how the fuck is this guy still a referee?

Joke of a result. Brumbies far and away the better team.

Geez that was a bit rough. Chiefs getting a massive rub of the green from 'look @ me' Steevo.

All good mate - appreciate your point of view. We're both Brumbies fans, and on that basis I'm assuming we'd both hate for them not to exist because of being unable to find a title sponsor.

To be honest mate - I was just kind of laughing at the irony of it all. I don't have a massive problem with it, although it's certainly put a buzz up your bonnet for some reason. It's an online forum about rugby, in a thread about the Brumbies' 2015 season of which Aquis are now a title sponsor...

Maybe the irony in the timing of this article from Rath was intentional, but when it comes to ethics and sponsorship it's hard to argue there's much good in the new title sponsor. Whether it's knocking down land to build a big casino right next to the barrier reef or helping feed the addiction...

It wasn't that the defensive system wasn't working - my point was the implementation of all of the aspects of play may have gained better results if it was gradual.

Cheika learns that test rugby, certainly isn't super rugby and shouldn't be played as such. Disappointing result, disappointing tour. Regardless of how long Cheika's had with the team - it isn't a different team. Maybe the implementation of his style could have been gradual rather dropping the...

While I like this team I can't help but feel slightly exposed in having nobody in the back 3 that can kick a ball.

We seem to be lacking some fundamentals across key positions. I like what Foley brings to a game (flat in attack, good place kicking) but he really lacks an accurate long passing game and has poor decision making in picking his runners. On top of that I'm sick of his pop-gun kicks for...

And while we're here, it looks like the chosen coach needs to be approved by the NSW Rugby Media - maybe it's worth having Georgie Robinson on the selection panel? Maybe Matt Bourke? They both represent a significant amount of credibility. Matt could be on the selection panel given he's "got...

In speaking of 'having the dressing room' - do you think Jake White is a credible candidate given the smoke bomb on the Brumbies playing group?

Good fight back from the ABs, but I think it's fair to say the best team certainly didn't win tonight. Disappointing effort from Nic White - hopefully Genia comes back to form on the spring tour, and we build more depth to go with it.

Any word on availability for next week's match? Would be good to see Power back in the 2nd row, with Fardy pushed out to 6. McCabe back in at 12. Drop Smiler completely (little to no impact in games he's played) and run a bench with Fotu and McVerry (who I thought played well in his cameo on...
