Clarke, Papalii and Darry were all excellent.
Shameful refereeing performance tipped the balance in that one. The Brumbies are going to be very difficult to beat in Canberra if Aussie refs keep bailing them out like that

Just watched the highlights and couldn’t figure out why Zarn was carded even after a slo mo

Carded for the same infringement by the brumbies about 4 minutes later, which resulted in a scrum. That's how it works, right?
The Brumbies getting a good run with the refs at home has been known for a long time. I’d say the Canes playoff hopes wouldn’t have ended in Canberra for four out of the last five years if they were given a fair deal. The Brumbies always get a full Aussie reffing panel so I feel for the Blues and fans as it’s all too familiar.
Just ask Ardie how he feels about bullshit calls in Canberra.

One good thing from this game was the performance of the reserve props in the scrum.
Yeah was a good shift from them. Mason Tupaea has another tough task next week, but I think he's done enough to earn himself a fulltime contract. He's improving. I'm liking what I'm seeing from some of our next generation.
Just watched it. Dont think the Blues played badly at all. Paps was outstanding..
They just got got on the wrong of Gardner and his rubbish reffing. Need to be more subtle with the street smarts, hopefully they would have learned from that going forward.
