What on earth are the brumbies up to?

Bones

That is atrocious defence.

KiwiMurph

Good accurate play there Canes

Bones

Brumbies seem to have a player malfunction every minute

KiwiMurph

Idiotic by Wright.

Punished by a good Canes side

Bones

Roigard rocks and diamonds again to start a game.

The boneheaded plays are just a feature of Jordie's game at this point.

Bones

Roigard hesitant and uncharacteristically indecisive at times.

Love makes his first mistake.

KiwiMurph

Jordie is doing some good things too

Lovely pass to Proctor

Oh I thought it was just through the hand? And then overran on support... shit pass from Proctor though

KiwiMurph

Hard to believe Brumbies beat the other 4 NZ teams

canefan

Nothing like a dry track and good handling conditions to expose the Brumbies for who they are

Feels like a long time since we've seen a NZ winger in Fineanganofo's form.

Big, strong, fast and good on the feet.

Bones

Brumbies a fucking shambles.

Canes not exactly clinical, but having a nice training run.

KiwiMurph

Meredith has gone from Wallaby to wannabe this month

Fuckin poor game IQ from the Canes there. Lucky the Brumbies stuffed it but when you have the ball with 15 seconds left, it should go to halftime on your terms. Giving them a chance to do something there is terrible game mismanagement

I thought they'd struggle more with their starting forwards. I think the Brumbies are in for it when the firepower comes off the bench.

I disagree. Brumbies are so shit today it was worth a crack.

Yeah I'm not sure canes will be happy with only having 19 points up against seemingly a team of invalids for 40 minutes.

If brumbies actually remember how to rugby in the second half and canes don't step it up a bit, I can see it getting tighter.

This will be the interesting part. After seeing the Brumbies beat the Highlanders while somehow not appearing to play much rugby - whether the Brumbies can actually front now....

For now I'm enjoying seeing them still on Nil for being such a disorganised and negative crew...

Do we pick him this year for the ABs and deal with next year, next year?

I am starting to think he is the player I am waiting for Clarke to be.

Be hard pressed to say it hasn't worked out in the past for the ABs to go with the hot thing (s) on the wing in WC year.

canefan

That's just poor skills. Protect the ball!

Bones

Canes looking similar to the first half...

I'd love to see what he could do

I think Clarke was our best winger last year. Fineanganofo is just better, in all facets.

Clarke is better under the high ball and is tested at test level

Bones

Moorby is having a pretty poor game.

Not sold on Roigalrd at all.

Donsteppa

So they can fire up after all.

KiwiMurph

That was sweet

I was told last week he's the reason Love is looking composed. I'm far from sold on this performance.

canefan

Talk of the Brumbies' demise may have been premature.....

Victor Meldrew

That passing was simply outstanding - wonderful try

canefan

That's quite a decent substitute front row coming on for the Canes...
