Brumbies v Drua 14/4/23 @7.35pm

O’Donnell was half a mtr offside with that kick. How can they be so pedantic with some laws and oblivious to others?

They don’t go back 19 phases there to find all the blatantly offside Brumbies players do they, nah, penalty try and a yellow
To be fair, they just looked at 19 separate phases to see it was the previous one to disallow the Drua try.

Sime serious salt in here. Drua knock on was within 2 phases of the 'try' for the record.

Great effort from them resting a couple of players to unsettle and nearly turn over the Brums though. They will be happy with the bye week.

Once again the Brumbies find a way to close out a game and win it. Drua played well and really put pressure on at times, but made too many dumb mistakes that relieved pressure.

Actually ref. That was good. Yellow card for a cynical penalty by Brumbies.
Brumby hate coming through loud and clear tonight Lb. Swain was well and truly on side coming around the back of the ruck from the blind side to the open side. Drua knock on. Swain then plays the ball on the ground but it cannot be cynical play or a card as play should have been under scrum advantage to the Brumbies. A wacko decision by our mate Murphy.

Brumbies seemed off their game tonight. Even though they got the win, they made quite a few uncharacteristic errors (e.g. missed lineouts and knock-ons).

The Brumbies had their poorest game of the year, no doubt about that. Too much lost ball and loss of attacking structure after scoring the first three tries. Simply went to sleep for about half the game.

But they still came through with a bonus point win. Something that a few of the teams whose fans are so ready to criticise every move by the Brumbies would like to experience.

Winners are grinners, and the rest can suit themselves.

Was at the game so will have to watch the replay to find out but man it felt like the ruck was over officiated. Either that or the brumbies infringed at nearly every ruck.

I actually expected us to be penalized at every ruck towards the end.
