I assumed Nock was unfit but I see he's on the bench
I understand the idea that starting vs bench is different and you don't want to be too reactionary every week
However
It blows my mind that Finlay gets another start after last week
I can't wrap my head around rugby at times where certain players at both test and franchise level get start after start regardless of performance.
Kiwi, that's just a case of coaches seeing different to us in what they want from players.
I guess what is frustrating is we never really hear the details as to why. At best you will get some coach speak answer.

Ofa and Marcel on the bench - probably looking to dominate scrums towards the end of the match against the Brumbies bench? I can't see how Slipper keeps getting a start. Even Allan is looking past it.

@KiwiMurph I think we win this by 10. Ikitau is the only Brumbies player that is notable.
oof big call
Wright is the best 15 on the park. Hooper is a big in for them to provide the grunt they are missed when he and Bobby V were out. Toole is easily the quickest player on the park. they are no mugs.

@mariner4life agree.
I'm going along tonight - will be a huge tussle. Big test for a rookie forward pack for the Blues

Still a strong starting pack, in particular the tight five. It will be very interesting to see when the subs are used
Christie, Pole & Clark with 1 SR game each. Cook on debut
Just looking at their NPC records:
Pole: 0 matches
Cook: 9 matches (8 starts)
Christie: 10 matches (8 starts, 6 starts at lock & 2 at blindside)
Clarke: 16 matches (8 starts) -
Tipping Brumbies hope I'm wrong... but BB at 10 doesn't fill me with hope
-
Such a waste of advantage

Pat drops a shit pass from Christie. Easy three points goes begging.
-
@antipodean wonder if Christie could have thrown that pass any harder ..?
-
@antipodean if looks could kill...

Should be staring daggers at Vern for picking Finlay

I might point out everything he fucks up, but I'm no longer angry at him. He's not selecting himself.
