SR AU Final - Brumbies v Reds

[Bones]

And then they score a try from an error. What do I know.

@Bones They looked from the start like a young team with little experience playing in a final. Forced substitutions hasn't helped.

[Bones]

@antipodean yep, kickoffs have been an absolute shitshow too.

Classic Kuridrani.

[Bones]

Imagine how much more effective Tupou would be if he wasn't so lazy. Footwork, try and get a weak shoulder...or just run straight into a defender.

[Bones]

That Brumbies scrum got munted...no penalty.

Congrats Brumbies.

Gee this is a frustrating watch from the reds, so many errors leaving tries gone begging. Chill Winston.

Yeah Reds created some great opportunities in that second half but lacked the finishing polish.

JOC has shown a good steady hand during this comp. will be interesting to see if Rennie goes with him or Toomua.

Reds scrum very good. Lineout rubbish.

My Aussie friend is convinced that SRAU is more physical than SRA and the defences are better. I haven't watched a lot of SRAU so I can't comment. Any truth to this?

@akan004

I've enjoyed watching SR AU

More physical? No

Defences better? Not quite.. I think defence was easier in SR AU because the offside line was not enforced well

Aussies playing to their traditional strengths?
