That's a pretty handy starting lineup for the Tahs - tho Gamble at 8 is interesting along with the 6-2 bench.
In a couple of the NZ pre season games there were signs that the game was faster because of the law variations. Gamble at 8 & the 6/2 to keep the forwards fresh suggests the Tahs think it’s going to be quick

Good point. Coleman might be planning for a fast game to take the sting out of the Brumbies' big men.
Rumour has it the Tahs bulked up a bit to combat the physicality of the Kiwi teams, but when you look at the bench it is fairly lightweight - Sinclair is more a 6 than a lock at this level, while Langi Gleeson isn't a huge man either. Lot of pace tho between the 2 of them and Harris is no mug on the wheels.

What is with the white sneaker clown brigade in comms?

How on earth does a professional referee not penalise the loosehead for boring in there?

Nic Berry might want to speed up this game if he can't spot a loosehead boring in right in front of him.

The target of consistent competition reffing has gone out the window in the second game.
This game is a very different shape with very different tackle areas -

Corey Toole from Aus 7s looks handy for the Brumbies on the wing.
Just made an excellent try.
