Brumbies v Blues

[Damo]

Real lack of rugby IQ from Brumbies in not taking a guaranteed 3 on the stroke of half-time. A big factor in a decision of going for corner is that if you don't score you are still down at the right end of the field and can keep the pressure on. If it's right on halftime you lose this benefit.

Wales.

Great work from A. Ioane.

[antipodean]

@Tim ref waited long enough to give him the penalty.

[Dice]

Pull Pulu before it's too late.

[antipodean]

This ref is doing everything he can to keep the Brumbies in the game. Hopelessly hometown.

[African Monkey]

@antipodean Not really, we're just getting lazy as usual.

[antipodean]

@African-Monkey The Blues ineptitude is magnified by the difference in the application of the laws. Examples are the amount of time a Blues player has to have his hands on the ball in the ruck compared to the Brumbies to be awarded a penalty. Or giving the Brumbies a scrum because through their own actions they've made it difficult for their scrumhalf to clear the ball.

Who did Nanai replace?

[KiwiMurph]

Pulu is having a shocker. Akira's best game of Super Rugby yet.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim collins i think.

[Stargazer]

So, is SBW already in ABs form?

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer his defence has been good. Attack not so much.

[Damo]

That's a harsh call against 17 there.

[Damo]

Take the points. Brumbies don't look like they can score a try.

[Tim]

Where's the yellow card warning?

[Kirwan]

Imagine 80min of Nanai's attacking ability

[Tim]

Good scrum, good try.

Bryn Gatland's goal kicking could cost us here.
