Blues v Brumbies Rd 9, Friday 10 April 2015

[Dismal Pillock]

Quadeland Reds and the Perth Somethings fading fast in the rearview now. The Coronation is back on track, mofos! Pretty weird watching the Blues completely suppress their Brotown B-Ball Breakout Blitzkrieg instincts, for the whole 80 minutes, in favour of the de rigeur jog and flop game-of-inches safety first stuff. Mustve been a monumental effort. "Must. Not. Have. Fun."

Havent seen Brumbies yet this year, looks like the AB's will have to wheel out the old Chain Pocock to Something gameplan, that being, run straight at the prick and take him out, do not let him be second man to the tackle because by then you are fucked. TO or penalty.The mark of the man that you need a gameplan tailored to nullifying just one man. Not the case for Hooper.

I think I'd go with "not that relevant" instead of "kiss of death".

Betraying my inherently superstitious nature!

Pocock did play well.

The Blues discipline went out the window in the 2nd half.
That is a more likely explanation than the AR telling the Ref of the lopsided penalty count.

As it did the week before.

White needs to STFU - he may be penalised for backchat, and that could cost the Wobs the match.

Nic White

was hard to make him out through my blues-tinted glasses, all I could see was:

 

[Bullrush]

As it did the week before.

Ask Dave Rennie what he though about last week.

 

[FrankLind]

Brumbies unlucky tonight. A couple of concerning injuries as well. I'm finding it harder and harder to listen to the new Zealand comentry team. Really bias.

Unlike you Shiggins

 

[FrankLind]

No worries for the Brumbies yet - you get to play the Rebels, Force and Reds. Should all be easy wins.

The White issue for mine is the 2-3 brainsnap moments he has in big games. Yes he can do brilliant things, such as the pass for the Brumbies try, but I'm not sure if that's enough to make up for the errors, and I'm also not sure that that is what you want at test level.

Phipps is a known commodity, and does the same thing every week. He covers a lot of ground, he passes pretty well, never kicks or really tries any fancy stuff. He won't win you a game, but he doesn't commit horrible errors either.

That's why he is in front at the moment. That sort of game is much better suited to an NH World Cup in my opinion.

They've played the Reds twice. Try to keep up, Frank.

 

[Godfrey]

Brilliant try!!!! Hope he's ok..

Think you want the Tahs vs Stormers thread @Godfrey not Blues v Brumbies.
