Why didn't Brumbies go for the drop goal?

Why didn't QLD kick it out?

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent game.

Should be a home final at Suncorp for Reds

[Stargazer]

The Brumbies' decision making was wrong. Should have tried a droppie. They had plenty of opportunity to do so. Didn't they trust their kicker?

[NTA]

@stargazer no imagination - thought they could get the penalty, and probably should have just before the hooter wherei reckon Wright slapped it away on the deck.

But fuck em

[Derpus]

cracking game. Really enjoyed it even without a dog in the fight. I thought execution was strong across the park from both sides.

[KiwiMurph]

Reds young centre Flook is a good prospect.

[Stargazer]

I think both these teams will challenge the NZ teams. I expect them to be in the SR T-T top 4.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer it's a straight final format though.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Not sure what's wrong with what I'm saying. I think they could finish anywhere from place 1 to 4 after the round robin. So it could be either a NZ team v Aussie team final; a two NZ teams final; or a Reds-Brumbies final.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer well sure but the format would seemingly disadvantages the Reds and Brumbies on paper. The Reds and Brumbies look more than a match for the kiwi sides but the Force and Tahs look weaker than the weakest NZ teams so easier for nz sides to rack up wins.

[Derpus]

@kiwimurph Tahs certainly do. Not sure about the Force though. Think they could surprise.
