Super bench!!

anyone knows who's out of contract in 2014 in addition to Colby

With the benefit of hindsight, the Brums looked a little jetlagged in the second half vs the Bulls, so hopefully this week we'll see the real Brums again. One aspect overlooked by some of the critics after the Bulls' match is that we've got the RSA tour out of the way, while the Reds & Tahs...

could understand this point for players aged 16 to maybe 20, Beale is 24. Some blokes go to war at that age, or already have three kids. If the aru and simpathetic fans continue to provide escape routes for his shortcomings, when is he going to understand that the buck stops with him.

Great player. April's fool or not, however, don't think we need him.

why?

pretty average match from the brumbies, lots of mistakes in handling the ball and not enough intensity in the end. howler from colby, nearly costed precious points. he's got talent, but he's gotta deliver at the pointy end. bulls played an honest match and nearly spruiked the surprise. that...

That could have been the score vs the Reds last week. How things can change from one week to the next.

I think he's still out with the hammy.

Good chance for the Reds to win against a winless Highlanders team anyway. Unless the Highlanders come out and turn the tables.

No saying that anyone is, but many past disappointments have thought me not to underestimate any S15 side on the day. The RSA tour has been tough on the Brumbies as well. I'd hate for them to be complacent on the back of 4 wins, or 100 for that matter. Head space is critical.

I have not seen the Reds vs Bulls match, so this is comforting news (both in terms of the Bulls playing average and the Reds continuing to be far from convincing).

Let's start the ball rolling on this one. Brumbies need to come out strongly to reassert their leadership in the Australian conference, and to erase the sour taste of defeat from their last RSA match. Playing at home, you'd expect them to put on a decent show. Bulls anything but easy to play...

when you have two teams strong in defence, normally that is what happens. All the teams played by the Brumbies so far were not on a par defensively. Obviously one (e.g. me) hopes for an open and entertainin game, particularly on the Brumbies' side in terms of fun and final score.

Yeah, both teams strong defensively= low score. Bonus point unlikely.

Brumbies are strong finishers, conceded only one try in the second half so far - this second half shapes to be rather intense.

I see your point. Unfortunately for the Wallabies and their supporters, Deans has been unable to bring out the necessary hatred in his players also towards Samoa, Ireland, Scotland, France and Italy (couple of close calls) to name a few. With the exception of a few matches when the Wobs had...

Could we be a little more specific? What are the elements of coaching that Deans can't get right because he's a Kiwi, and that an Australian coach instead would get right? Please lets identify what we are talking about. To me this is a shallow argument. Rugby is rugby, a coach may prefer a...

Deans divided the rugby community because he's a mediocre coach at international level, not because he's a kiwi. If the Wallabies won the World Cup I suspect the rugby community would not be divided, and nationality would not be an issue.
