Modern rugby, no scrum no win.
I swear watching the brumbies sucks life out of you
They're such a limited team. Perfect fit for their fans and location.

The Blues just can't dictate a game. I mean the Brumbies were just waiting for penalties to get them up the field and then relying on their scrum. You can't complain if your scrum is that bad and you lose. You just can't. Yet the Blues still could have won if they got a more open game. The Blues lost but I don't think the Brumbies actually played any rugby. They just did what they had to. Shit way to lose.

@Kirwan I just can't see this team going anywhere until we sort out our set piece. It's cost us so many games over the years.
True but how many All Blacks do you need to have a good tight five? You should have enough there already. Obviously your scrum is normally better than that. The Hurricanes have a much worse tight five but we are better at playing to our strengths even if we are getting found out.

@Steven-Harris There was a long period where all we did was defend. He was involved in all that.

Yeah him and Ofa in particular where man handling people. Goal line defence was great.
Scrums and mauls were the massive, massive problem. And Black missed a couple of easy kicks.

Honestly I’m happy Blues lost! Management aren’t worried about winning! They want to give lollipops to lads for trying hard.

Good to see Apisai play well

Good to see Nock and Goodhue ( a couple of Northland boys described as useless and soft ) both have good games.
Games lost with performance of Black in first 20 minutes and the needless yellow card by Hodgeman. Followed up with some really poor game management in last 15 minutes.

Justified vastly more minutes than he's been getting.
