Brumbies vs Blues
-
Change in halfback and the blues have lost a lot of attacking shape
-
whats the rule around defending rolling line-out mauls, by simply not engaging in them? Teams used to pretend they would go in and defend the maul, and then just not - attacking teams forming a maul would then get done for obstruction maybe? don't know technicality around this - if its still a thing, why don't teams use it?

Look, I'm normally the first to defend the maul but
The rules were changed recently so the ball carrier can no longer keep slipping back, you must transfer the ball. This brumbies hooker has the ball the whole time, and just keeps shuffling back.
Open your eyes you little albino fuck
PLayers are joining in front of the ball carrier too, but he's ignoring that. Possibly because they don't have mauls in 7s, which is where he came from. Ridiculous that refs are permitted to simply jump across.

@Chris i'm not blaming the ref though.
If only we didn't have to play at the damp, bitter mud bath you call a stadium.
Never know though, we embarrased you guys down there in 2016 by 30 odd points so w ecan do it again. To me the Crusaders looked very beatable from last nights performance.

Teams these days don't tend to hand the ball backwards until they're engaged. But it's worth the attempt at least once.

Tim Perry should hopefully be back from his broken arm.
First Furlong, now Sio. Karl T struggles against world-class tightheads.
Scott Sio is world class?
