When I see Jordie running like a giraffe on speed, I wonder why he didn't end up being a lock. A kicking lock, would that be a first? Not complaining though.

And therefore... Nobody disapproves of this post

@Tordah Didn't stop the canes stinking the joint out for most of the first half
Well, ten minutes of the first half

Woohoo, BB played 80 minutes and didnt need a 10 minute rest!
-
Haha look at kearns' face! Priceless!

@Kirwan really? If you were coaching you would be happy with the rest of the half?

Pretty much. Brumbies scored their three trys pretty quick together.
New halfback was tested, when he was replaced it was one way traffic.

@Kirwan blues fans have low standards...

Or know bad play when we see it, and a few missed tackles in a ten minute period doesn't make a bad half.

@Kirwan jokes aside (because you're being so serious) i was more concerned about the loose play, the weakness at the breakdown, and the complete lack of any structure. You can blame the halfback all you want, he wasn't the one ignoring rucks or passively running.

Hardly being serious. I will concede they were throwing too many miracle passes, but when so many of their bullshit plays come off can understand why they try so much.

I thought there were too many ocassions of Canes forwards standing out in the line and not protecting the halfback. They can't just expect that the rookie is going to clear the ball the same way TJP does under pressure. I thought they didn't adjust.
Individually Ardie was superb.
Ponies defensive structure is all over the show.
A good points boost against a very inconsistent side.

@ACT-Crusader Kearns told me they're the best defensive team in the comp...

Aso was good but i think you have to be a little concerned about him defensively. I echo those last week who said we have really missed Proctor.
Very effective with ball in hand but 13 is a tricky position defensively, one mistake - like when he ran out of the line and tackled noone for the Brumbies long range try - and you open up a big hole which is tough for the loosies to cover a bit wider out. Wouldn't mind him at 14 when Proctor is back.

And what about JTA into the AB squad this year ? His scrummaging has been impressive and he is very mobile for such a big man.
Remind me which side he plays again?
We need a replacement for Charlie F more than Crockett. Ofa still looks to be a project.
