@ACT-Crusader Super Rugby me thinks is his ceiling probably not international

The ability of Dmac to follow a clear script from the coach was obvious tonight. We have always worried about his inability to do stupid. Tonight he showed exactly how he can play test match footy.

Picked his moment to put the script away too.

I really want some one to lip read what the ref said to Dr robotnik shaking hands at the end, it didn't look generic 'good game'

[chimoaus]

I just hope Foster sees how a pack of forwards who tackle hard, clear rucks and do their core roles will always beat a team of flashy forwards who hang out on the wing waiting for glory.

[Tordah]

Crazy, how Chiefs basically won every part of the game, but didn't look comfortable just because the Brumbies defence was soo good. Chiefs D was pretty good, too, mind. A lot of players stepped up

[Jailbreak7]

@chimoaus Amen to that bro!

[Steven Harris]

@kev Wright had played well for 70 minutes just a couple of mad headed moments that proved very very costly
Valentini is world class
Foster and Neville could be wallaby locking option
Both the Reds last week and the Brumbies again tonite showed if OZ can put their best 23 on the paddock we will i suspect see some great contests moving forward
Classy interview from Nick White ,bloody awesome competitor ,met him a few years bloody good bugger

Hell of a game, and a great win.

Crusaders are perennial favourites as always. But... those expecting the Crusaders to walk it in next week have read both semi finals differently to me. The Blues would have been beaten up by both teams out there tonight too. Likely because they'd have given up in contact much quicker.

Yeah, having almost the perfect game like the Crusaders did is not ideal imo. It's never easy reaching even close to that same level the following week. Will be a very tight final and could go either way.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer thank you

The Chiefs avoided giving away penalties (mostly) and piggy backing the Brumbies into 22 for their lineout mauls. Great discipline.

[taniwharugby]

I think next weeks final will step up a gear, for both sides, hopefully be a cracker!

[akan004]

Larkham blaming the ref. Always been a whinger.

[Steven Harris]

@akan004 not as bad as Steve Hansen

On what grounds? Didn't ref miss a Chiefs try in the first half?

Really? Never liked Shag but I always felt he took losses fairly well and rarely blamed the ref. My memory could be failing me though.

Never in doubt

I was hoping for a much less stressful 80 minutes of armchair critiquing...

[Yeetyaah]

Holy shit I enjoyed that game. Berry tried his best to keep the Brumbies in the game but to no avail. The tide turned when Noah kicked the restart out on the full. What a great defensive effort from both teams but holy shit I'm riding the Mana train so high after that one.

[Jailbreak7]

Think a big admission by the Brums was to sub Nic White. Needed to keep him on for any chance.
