[ShadowTrooper]

Wow "live training" as opposed to....?
Just hope there are no more injuries...

[Crucial]

He's highlighted the issue with young players coming through the ranks quickly (or skipping them altogether). Lack of game situation experience and, therefore, decision making skills.

I think we will win this game!

[Donsteppa]

Awesome to see Aidan Ross fully fit and back in the #1 jersey too.

[Yeetyaah]

Great starting line up for the Chiefs, surely a win for the Guzzler's 100th.

[Nepia]

I thought Sullivan would have done enough to get another start. I had to look up who Ataata Moeakiola is before remembering he's another foreigner. Anyone know when Alaimalo is back?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia According to a stuff article that was published on 7 February, Alaimalo was expected to be out for 4 weeks, so that would be end of February/early March.

Can't see the Bumbies winning this fixture.

They better bloody not, I'm going to be at a stag party that consists of mountain biking, watching this match and karaoke. I hate mountain biking and karaoke so this was going to be the highlight of the day for me.

[chimoaus]

Almost thought I was on pornhub with the footage of McKenzie getting a rub.

[chimoaus]

BBBR playing his 100th, go you good thing.

[Kirwan]

Alright, hope this a better game.

[chimoaus]

Bit of feeling out between the sides, Brumbies looking good with the ball.

[Kirwan]

Some desperate commentary there claiming that for a try

[chimoaus]

Brumbies score after a dominant scrum.

[Kirwan]

Fantastic try from the Brumbies, beautiful line!

[chimoaus]

Fuk me what a try by the Brumbies. Beautiful line from Banks.
