Brumbies vs Hurricanes
-
I hope to fuck that wasn't pimply giraffe trying to run around that lock, because the lock was jogging
-
Sloppy play from the Canes. They're all over the place; no game management; and dropping tackles.
-
David Pocock is probably the best player i have ever seen over the ball. But he's not much chop at basically every other facet of rugby. The ultimate one trick pony.
-
Damn. Ponies' try.
-
Can we stop giving them field position? We have been playing into their hands.

Great at the maul.
-
That bench isn’t going to offer much impact
-
The Canes are playing dumb rugby. Hard on defense and try time and time again to run it out
-
Now a YC for Thomson for a high tackle.
-
Don't have sky where I'm staying. Can someone watching give feedback on how JGB is going tonight please? I have never rated him and it appears neither did the Rebels who did not retain him after his performances over there last season.

He's been fine. It's everyone else who has been shit.
-
@higgins JGB made a few good tackles but there's virtually no game management. Hence why it's so messy. No direction. He's also slow. Jordie doing the goal kicking.
Edit: he's in no way the only one who isn't playing well. Some dumb decision making.
-
Thanks Hydro, I just automatically assumed he might have been one of the reasons behind the shite performance. Might have to bite my tongue in this instance then.
-
Garden Bachop has got the same body type as Dane Coles. And he looks fat even for a hooker
-
Like that passage is a massive reason we have been doing terribly. A maul going poorly and Riccitelli doesn't release it at the back and concedes a turnover.
JGB isn't enough of a threat when he attacks the line and is tactical kicking/control doesn't make up for it. So he doesn't really offer anything as a pivot. It's up to the outsides to create with him playing.
-
Riccitelli is just as stupid as his hairdo would make you think, isn't he
-
Goosen on for Lam; West replaces JGB.
-
Oh, fuck, that isn't a neck roll.
-
Ha, just looked at the replay. That was pure theatrics from Pocock, just like he did in the Highlanders game in Dunners.[link text](link url)

Ahhh, so my thoughts might be right afterall?
-
Walker-Leaware on for Fatialofa.

Looks like Riccitelli noticed that also, and took some lessons from po,po,po,COCK.
-
Both Canes' props have also been replaced.

How the hell is that not a penalty?

That was a great run from the bus.

He was clearly tackled and propelled himself up. That was obviously not momentum. Clearest double movement you will see.
-
Awesome try saver from Jordie; also great tackle from Goosen.

Completely disagree. Slid for ages, only reached out at the end. Dropped it cold.
Nice pimply giraffe, very good work
-
Jordie makes up for being run past like a slow bus by doing very well to get back and holding the Brumby up over the line.

You can reach out but you can't propel your body upwards.
-
Pffft hahahaha
-
Try Brumboys. Less than 3 minutes to go; Canes are going to suffer a third loss in a row.
-
Full time: Brumbies 24 - 12 Hurricanes

One of JGB strength is his kicking game. So for Wellington last year he was great at clearing the line when hard on defense. Every time he got the ball in this game he passed or ran
The Canes coaches had three week to see what's going wrong. One issue is playing in the in own half far too much. Yet they still did it this game. Also Jordie's wasted at center. It not that he's no good there but he's MUCH better at FB with his skill set. He started for the ABs at FB yet these clown coaches leave him at center.
So three starts at center for three losses and the backs didn't really do a thing. The midfield combination clearly isn't working. Time to move on and to try sometime different. But for me the Canes need new back/ attack coaches. We will never have a great forward pack and Plumtree does very well with what's available but the backs have gone to shit in recent games.
-
Typical Canes. Always have to make it a competition against the landers. Well you still lost, no one could have got close to landers level of shit this week.
Goosen tried his heart out, some brilliant defence to try save the Canes bacon at times.

That's either superb trolling or lots of wine. That's as clear as you can get for "double movement".

Goosen should start at center to see what he can do. Move Jordie to FB and MS to wing. The starting back-line just isn't working. So time to try something different.
