Close result is a combination of three things:
- Jake Gordon
- Dead Cat Bounce from coach departure
- Brumbies being a bit shit, really. They're missing some front line players without a doubt.
Still, the Tahs were physically willing as they really have been all year, and took it up to the Ponies who will be somewhat grateful for a performance that wasn't meek.
We have a lot to be grateful for when it comes to Penney.
