I personally thought that the Brumbies were the best team in Australia, even if they are a bit limited in how they win games. What’s going on?

Crazy their scrum is shit, and they just fucked up that maul

Two of their underlying strengths over the last few years.

I thought they would use both to beat us, scoring off the mistakes we generally make in our own half , which would usually be plenty of chances for a team like them.

@gt12 three of the four starting locks in the European cup final are Aussie. Throw in NRL and AFL and you have your answer.

@gt12 would have him over Ioane in the ABs any day. He’s a tough bugger.

Jacobson needs to show it at test level. Something Akira has already done.

Fuck sake not one line out from ponies had been straight, come on!

Not often, they're pretty much at the same point

I think that’s fair, and Jacobson is really an 8 anyway so I dont see those players as being in direct competition- Akira should be at 6 for the ABs (or off the bench).

Jacobson is competing with Sotutu, not Akira.

Christ, he fell into that

[Kruse]

dangerous cuddle to the head

Holmes got yellowed for far less last night.

[taniwharugby]

Doesn't Jacobson play 6 too?

It really annoys me that a tackler doing nothing wrong gets penalised if the attacking player slips

Can play all three, but he’s much better at 8 IMO

[gt12]

Dammit.

Chiefs losing shape with ALB rushing up and no one in cover

[Tim]

I think A Ioane and Jacobson are the best options at both 6 and 8 in NZ. Sotutu as backup.

[gt12]

Don’t fuck this up - a bonus point is absolutely needed to stay in the hunt for the competition.

Nice to have options, lots of good loosies

[Derpus]

@gt12 who the fuck cares. Crusaders will obviously win it. Besides the Blues 20 odd years ago no Kiwi team has beaten them in a final.

I like both Jacobsen and Akira. I like the Ginga Messiah too.
