Final score 31 - 26 to Brumbies. Could easily have been a bigger win except for some poor handling near the tryline.
Corey Toole showed a few glimpses of his attacking capabilities and scored a meat pie.

Toole looked good also like the look of young 10 gray?

Debreczini was the difference in my opinion, he controlled the game well including a 50:22 and some nice offloads.
Reimer had a blinder in the second half including 2 tries and a couple of turnovers.
Toole looked dangerous but a little loose in the tackle, much like others converting from 7s.
Tua and Sapsford were pretty disappointing...they need to get their hands on the ball more.
L Lonergan was industrious in the 2nd half, he really controls the ruck well with his footwork, tip passes, pick & go etc.
Thorn looks electric from halfback also.

Yeah agree Debreczini probably best on ground and more than a long shot to to higher levels this year. I would still like to see what he can do at 15 too.
Brumbies scrum also finished the game strongly without 6 of their Wallabies.

They basically changed the whole team. The commentary team had no idea on the backline other than calling out Murihead a few times.
Ben O'Donnell come off injured after his first touch (incisive but lost the ball in contact) and was replaced by Matias Jensen who ended up playing most of the match.
I don't believe BJ Oates or Henry Palmer were used for the Brumbies.

Blake Schoupp played loose head in the 2nd half...they may be converting him from the hooking role.

I got the impression that Toole played the whole game, or at least most of it. Am I right?

Not ready for Super yet. Did not showcase what everyone has been raving about.

No-one stood out but Tua had one incisive run through the middle and made good ground. There was a fair bit of kicking by Debreczini but all were tactically sound and mostly gave the Brumbies territory. Probably the best all round kicking game I've seen from an Aussie player in a long time. All backline players were good on defence.

Bar TV. It will cost just under $7. Maybe on Youtube?
