Brumbies v Lions
-
Yeah I don't like the Ponies chances against this Lions team, even if they aren't the same standard as last season. The Ponies are dire at the moment. The interplay between forwards and backs seems non-existent. The phase play that they're known for is falling down because the handling is so poor.
Godwin has been a bust. -

The Brumbies halfback is so shit. He makes it so obvious which way he is passing that the whole defence can go that side. mind you his team doesn't seem to give him options either.
Such a punchable face too

Brumbies playing with quite a lot of endeavour, but managing to cock up lots of promising moves with errors and bad decisions.
WTF was that attempted grubber a few minutes before halftime? That was never going to work.
They should really be comfortably ahead.

The 9 isn't great but the worst player on the field is the Brumbies 10. Awful player, at least tonight.
Couldn't they find a better poach than him?

This game also shows that the Lions are clearly not as good as last year. They will be beatable, even at home. The hardest thing about playing them at home - just like the Stormers- will be the travel. Hopefully, the Sharks will play one of these teams in the QF.

@Stargazer To be fair to them, most sides that have played the Brumbies have been dragged down to the Brumbies level of play. They're at the end of a 3 match road trip and have won all 3 so they can be happy with that.

@African-Monkey Uhm, yeah, well, the other two wins on the road were against the Rebels and the Force. Sure they can be happy with the points, but those points mean nothing if they have to play stronger NZ teams in the finals.
