They need the weather guy from Good Morning Vietnam.

A few hours to go, and in general we are all Brumbies supporters today. (I think that is some quote totally irrelevant, but it sounds fair enough.)
It should be interesting. The brumbies seem to play a structured game. Their game plan is based on their strengths, possession and territory. They are willing to wait. The chiefs play a powered unstructured game and rely on firepower. (There are probably lots of stats that disprove what I just said, so I may look a little foolish, but bear me out.)
Structure versus un-structure. Discipline versus opportunity taking. Though regardless what one says about structure, having the initiative and being in a winning position gives a team structure. Being down and under pressure causes teams to lose structure. It should be an intersting game.
I hope we see a cracker of a game, and that my venue's choice of beer is suitable.

Heart says Brums - head says chiefs
Think the extra travel will take its toll
Hope for a close game with the Brums by 3

Considering NZ have crappy weather 90 percent of the year? I would say advantage advantage Chiefs

Apparently it's not going to rain so the point is moot, but if you want to know why people think the Brumbies would be advantaged look at the Lions match.

Getting super psyched, trying to stay busy.
Mainly hoping for a good game, the Brumbies have done a lot to impress already and have the team to win but the question is whether the travel will make it too taxing.
If the ponies can dominate the scrum and/or lineout they are a real chance. They just have to play to their strengths and not let the pressure effect their execution. Let the Chiefs run it from deep and defend like mad men, kicking (for goal and territory) may just be the difference.
Brumbies by 8 or 1, depending on the Chiefs last possession.
Although part of me is prepared for a result like the 3rd Lions test, but the Brumbies are better than that particular Wallabies team, at least mentally.

ANd the Lions and Chiefs have what in common?

Well the Lion's are (supposedly) the kings of the jungle and 'king' is a synonym for chief.
Also they both come from countries that have a lot more rain fall than Australia.
Also the Brumbies weren't expected to beat the Lions and aren't against the Chiefs either.
But my main point was that game was played in cold, wet and windy conditions which seemed to help the Brumbies more than the Lions. That game has shown that the Brums are more than equipped to play those conditions and in many peoples eyes have an ideal game plan for it.
What do you think they have in common?
He was at his best last week so big advantage for the Brumbies if he is out. Would give them an advantage in the back 3.

You don;t get Lions in the jungle. I would day the Chiefs have the bigger pack and tactical kicker.

Pack - yes, tactical kicking - no, clear advantage to Brumbies.

Thought I would change my super team logo for tonight in a show of support for the ponies. Get behind it everyone!
Go brumbies!
Go brumbies!

Brumbies tactical kicking is second to none. Who are you trying to fool?
