How did Scott Barrett go?

Was ok I thought, 2 best locks in NZ so far this year are Holland and Vai'i.

I've really liked what Beehre has brought to the Blues. High work-rate and feel like he should be a regular starter for them.

Tahs ticking along very nicely

Up to Brisvegas next week. Hopefully Sandcorp is in better shape than Allianz

Tizzano outplayed McReight and Donaldson making a move for the Wallaby 10 shirt

Another belter of a game

@NTA said in Brumbies v Force:

Tizzano made 34 tackles, which is a competition record. Completion rate: 100%.

Going to be a cracking battle between him and McReight this weekend.

I like Tizzano, reminds of a Staffordshire terrier. McReight's the preeminent openside in Oz right now so the biscuits might come down to their respective teammates impact at the ruck.

@African-Monkey yea wasnt having a go, but he talked about how they had both discussed playing at MP

Brumbies' win at Force proves costly as Wallabies forward injured Brumbies' win at Force proves costly as Wallabies forward injured

ACT Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham has a prop problem after a second Wallabies forward succumbed to injury.

@MiketheSnow he's definitely a cult hero that Aussie rugby needs right now.

I'd say "put a bullet in the Tahs" but RA can't afford a bullet

Maybe we can send IWL and Cameron there, best for two teams

This ended up being a game where having a 6:2 split became an advantage due to the early injuries to Finau and Ah Kuoi.

@Bones

add in the 'bad passes' maybe?

That was 13 (Highlanders) v 12

Considering the conditions there was some very skillful and entertaining rugby on show today.

But I've seen horses in the Camargue play in less water.

I forgot about Cameron and how well he played last year. Must be in the AB frame. He is a traditional pivot who controls the game well. Just what the Canes need to compliment all the flash Harrys.
