Wow, those odds are amazing. I mean, I don't think I'd favour the Brumbies to win this one, but they're more chance than that. One site even had them with 20.5 points start - that is an attractive proposition. It's a bit of an unknown being in a situation where it's team that won final versus...

This competition is a disgrace

Mach Hansen - legit win, penalised anyway?

Here comes the stitch up...

Nic Berry - couldn't see one of the Force guys slowing it down last week- now he's somehow seeing them everywhere?

Figured this game would be a ref stitch up and it already is. Well, that's disappointing but not unexpected

Yes, if your only source of rugby knowledge was G&GR forums that's what you would think! ;)

Damn, just found out it's going to be the Gardner show again. Well, there go the prospects for a good quality game of rugby :(

That's a good looking Force team. The tight five has heaps of experience, Lance has looked good at 10, and Godwin has been back to his old self since he returned

Wow, what a captaincy fail. If the Brumbies hadn't kicked that last penalty goal they'd have been winners. I was in the stands hoping he'd miss the kick - it really would have been the best outcome after turning down going for the corner. No idea why he did it!?

Good game from Lolesio I thought, he'll be keeping the 10 jersey for a while longer with play like that. Haylett-Petty was all class as well (aside from the one poor kick). I did want to take the chance to comment on what I thought was the worst performance of the night - the ref. It could just...

I for one am nervous about this week's game. Rebels will be well angry after their game last week, and they've had the wood on the Brumbies lately. I'm expecting them to come out firing, so the Brumbies had better be ready

This is really getting to be a disturbing pattern for the Brumbies - giving up good size leads to lose games. I was thinking earlier that I'd like to run the stats and see if the Brumbies of the last three-and-a-bit years have given up more half-time leads to lose than the Brumbies of the first...

Enjoyed the game, but concerned it strengthens McKellar's position. Could he be an OK coach in sheep's clothing? We might get next year to find out on the back of that performance...and that may not be a good thing

I'm not sure what's going on there, but I noticed him jogging back too, when I'd have expected him to be going all out on the chase. He also made a bad defensive error on the third try by the Rebels, going for the tackle early when he was the last man against a three-man overlap - surely any...

Is it just me, or is there more to the Brumbies attacking ills than individual errors? I was thinking about the first try for the Crusaders last week and second try for the Highlanders in the game against them. Both were scored off first phase, by using good dummy runners and a fair amount of...

Got to say, I think Cubelli is the main issue with the Brumbies at the moment. They looked MUCH better once Powell came on - the backline actually started to go forwards for the first time in the game, instead of playing a "hold on to the ball but lose a few metres each phase" game. Whether...

Mowen either needs to learn when to opt for shots at goal versus when to go for tries/field position/pressure, or be replaced as captain. The decisions to go for goals when 3 points wasn't enough to get the result needed reminded very much of the Blues game last year. There the team needed more...

On what I've seen so far, I don't rate Colby at this stage. He doesn't look to be a very effective flanker. Hope I'm wrong about that.
