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

@Bones said in Hurricanes vs Brumbies:

Brumbies a fucking shambles.

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

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...

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

Big, strong, fast and good on the feet.

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...

canefan

What a try. Aumua with a deft grubber

Let's hope is isn't doing a Ratima and regressing somewhat

Ok these takes are wild

One average performance in a mid-round game does not mean he's regressing.

Cripes

He's making Fin Christie look like an All Black.

Nah, he's the best by miles - just expressing concern

probably the best two line out throws I have seen from Aumua all season

canefan

Pretty good finish from the journeyman Moorby

Fineanganofo did pretty good for the 7s team and is great under the high ball.

No you weren't, maybe you were too busy saying he could do no wrong while he was being outplayed to listen properly? You were told that he was going bloody well and that Roigard takes a fair portion of game management and kicking load off Love, and that having the AB halfback is helpful if you're a young 10, likewise the AB 12. Somehow you took that as an insult.

Roigard's been shit tonight though.

I'm a huge Fehi fan.

But to say that he's better than Clarke in all facets is not accurate

It's like watching share prices every minute of the day. There will always be ups and downs, by the overall trend is positive

Bones

Canes producing a bunch of sad points AB wise this season. Fehi, Dearns no future in black, Love what could have been last couple of years.
