Brumbies deserved to get their asses kicked for this big time. Crap second half performance. A lack of concentration, too much ball watching and lack of communication when it mattered. The Brumbies deserved at least a bonus point from. The stars and the leaders and stars went missing when it was most needed. You get the feeling the brumbies played the bottom team in round 1, then the top team in round 2. And it showed.
1. Ben Alexander 6
Good around ground but terrible at scrum time
2. Stephen Moore 6.6
why was subbed? Looked good and should have stayed on longer.
3. Salesi Ma’afu 6.6
did what he did well but nothing more
4. Justin Harrison 6.6
line-out fell apart when he was subbed.
5. Mark Chisholm 7
Worked hard. Made some good tackles.
6. Rocky Elsom 9
My best for the Brumbies. Lead by example and had an impact.
7. George Smith 4.7
George, If your going to retire do it. don't waste our time like this.
8. Stephen Hoiles 6.8
Good on the cover and making it to the breakdown quickly
9. Josh Valentine 5.6
Bad decisions cost us big time. Why would you try and run it out of the twenty two that ealry on?
cost us a try.
10. Matt Giteau 6.7
Solid at the start but, like when playing for Australia, went it got tough and we needed something he did nothing.
11. Francis Fainifo 6.2
Wasn't used. Would really love see him up his workrate with harder chasing and coming over his wing more. wasted.
12. Christian Lealiifano 7
Nice touches. Giteau really needs to work harder to make a connection and use him. He has the flair that can win matches.
13. Stirling Mortlock 5
Did very little if anything.
14. Pat McCabe
Deserved a try. What he did, he did very well. I'm very excited by him still.
15. Adam Ashley-Cooper
Good in the air but dropped a few when really should have held his composure
Reserves
16. Huia Edmonds 6.4
Nice touches but needs to be better at lineout time.
17. Guy Shepherdson
Lack of discipline didn't help what was a pretty awful bench performance. 4
18. Ben Hand 6
19. Mitchell Chapman 6
20. Patrick Phibbs 6
21. Matt To'omua 6
22. Tyrone Smith 6
Ref
Missed mistakes all overplace and made them. Had too much impact on the game. worst of the year but the brumbies shouldn't hang anytyhing on that.
