ACT Brumbies v Western Force - The Elimination

[Moono75]

Bring it on Ponies!

 

[Forcefield]

Anyone from the Force expected to be back next week?

What about the Brumbies. Sam Carter, Matt To'omua, etc back?

 

[Scoey]

If the Blues can jag a win over the Chiefs next Friday you guys should just play out a 4 tries each draw.

To'omua, McCabe, Mann-Rea and Tomane all due back next week, plus another couple who escape me at the moment.

A balmy 10 degrees forecast for Friday. Anyone making the trip over?

Just to be pedantic, thread title should read "Brumbies v Force" as it's in Canberra.........

Ball in hand should be the catchcry for the Brumbies this week. Keep the kicking to a minimum, quick recycle and smash the Force pilferers at the breakdown.

I'd take that.

Hoping the Force play like they did prior to MMM getting sent off. Being on the front foot in attack is our only chance(even if it is slim) against the brumbies. if we allow them too much ball brumbies will win(and likely a big margin)
Force the underdogs.

If MMM is out Alcock is available as well as stander who was great off the bench.

When the force played the bulls I said that this would be the game to decide who goes into the finals. I was right. Lol

 

[Forcefield]

You know a broken clock is also right twice a day

I'd start Coleman in the second row and move Wykes to blindside flanker. Then have Alcock and Stander on the bench.

Against the Brumbies lineout this option has got legs. But will Coleman or Stander be best at the breakdown? That is where the the Force must win the game and Lord Laurie will have his pack working overtime to win that area.

 

[Tomikin]

Brumbies by 6 with four tries each

 

[Moono75]

Brumbies coming off the bye and have only had the one hit out (loss to Tahs) since before the Test break. Could be rusty.

 

[Hammeroid]

The Luck of the Draw. Force get to accomplish there dreams of a maiden Finals berth against a shite Brumbies team. To easy

I guess it depends on who is fit, etc. If Sias is fit and starting, territory/line-out is king. If not, maybe it would be better to have an extra breakdown warhorse.

Well here's to a 49 all draw

Jake ball is on the nose at the end of the season. If the Brumbies don't change their approach it could very well end up very messy for them.
