It'd ruin the integrity of the competition for any outcome but C. I can't understand any of the debate about Giteau. He made the hard decision, but the right decision. Maybe you could be pissed off that he seemed to enjoy making that hard decision, but those kind of rivalries are good for the game.

Care to elaborate or are you having a bad day?

Would love to see Giteua kick a conversion after the siren to see the Tahs lose.

BJ is right. With the history between these two teams, it will be C. Don't forget that there are some blokes playing for test jumpers and potentially their careers too (with a new coach next year at the Brums).
I wrote this last year about the rivalry if anyone cares to read. I think it's still relevant.

Pretty hungover, glad to see you noticed.
Was referring to when the Bulls decided to rest players in round 14 last year against the stormers. Stormers beat the bulls comprehensively and secured the home semi final. Had conspiracy wiped all over it.

I bet you any Aus team would have done the same. The Bulls had a number of players who were hobbling around on one leg (I remember both Matfield and Bakkies were playing through injury for a few games already, Steenkamp was playing with a cracked wrist (which he then went ahead and broke properly in the final) and by this time Fourie du Preez had already been told he needs shoulder surgery and stop playing).
Resting those players was completely reasonable and would have been done regardless of who they played that week. You earn that sort of position.
Trust me. You have no concept of the hate between the Bulls and Stormers but the resting had to be done regardless at the time.

I said the same(Brums v Reds), I didnt get the margin bet right but had Chapman dived properly I would've been laughing all the way to the bank as it was paying $26. Still got the head to head bet though.
Brums will have extra motivation.........win and tahs miss finals.....no brainer its a win win situation.
GO THE BRUMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he said that he is a fool. If the Waratahs lose they are still a good chance to make the Finals if they secure two bonus points. The only time our team has played well is when they have chanced their arm and played adventurously, as in the first two games and the most recent one. Perhaps they forgot to stick to the game plan against the Highlanders.

Complete and utter rubbish.
Look at the PD between the Brumbies and the Force.
The Brumbies can possibly finish 3rd on the Australian conference ladder with a win this weekend, and considering the season they've had that would be a pretty good result.

Four points guarantees a finals spot. But it might also guarantee an away first qualifier.

mate noone remembers who comes second- let alone 3rd 4th or 5th
moreover noone cares
the brumbies have noone but themselves to blame for the season they have had

What does that have to do with anything?
The fact is the Brumbies played for maximum points .
The Reds have no one but themselves to blame for not getting a bonus point.

Yes LD, I wouldn't be making snide comments about other teams' names when your team is named after a flower.

If you can point out where anyone said that the brumbies should have not tried to win the game vs the reds I would much appreciate it, because I don't recall seeing that anywhere?
Brumbies should concentrate on themselves and do what is best for them and that is win the game. How do you ensure you win them game when you are leading after the siren and have a penalty?
Discuss.
Scotty, we had a whole other thread on this we ended up closing. I think we can move on.
