QF - Brumbies v Highlanders

Could very well give us the upper hand come scrum time. Hopefully anyway.
Brumbies call upon fourth-choice prop as front row injury crisis hits
The Brumbies are confident fourth-choice prop Harry Vella will rise to the occasion as injuries threaten to de-rail the ACT outfit

Come on the Landers, really hope you guys can do what we haven't been able to over the last couple of seasons and put those pricks to bed.

Tele'a is a game-changing inclusion... that bench scares me though. I would have had Faleafaga there as specialist cover. Hurley won't see the field unless we are getting smoked or there is an injury.
yeah, i feel ajay would provide an option to change things up in the second half, one specialist 10 kind of dictates how we're going to play
-
I refkon Hurley will get 20 - 30 minutes. Why pick him if you don't plan on playing him. Especially if there are a couple of other options.

@SouthernMann i kind of think no rules in playoffs, regular season, even if someone is playing well they get pulled looking at the rest of the season, experience for the bench and rest for the starter.....neither of which id be worried about in playoffs

Yeah I’d have preferred the same. Faleafaga over Te Hiwi for me but the logical reasoning is having midfield cover for Telea’s bad injury run of late which makes sense. They must feel comfortable enough in Gilbert to step in at 10 if something were to happen to Cam, if not we’d probably have seen Ajay and Te Hiwi on the bench.

I just believe he has been picked to play, not fill out a jersey. They will have a plan where he is on the field.

It didn't look like FINALS to me, the lack of gap between the F and the I.

We have a punchers chance. Brumbies in Canberra are a good side. We do have a reasonable record there though.

Highlanders at full strength for playoff
All a coach really wants the week of a playoff game is to have everyone on deck. Clarke Dermody effectively has that luxury, and he has named his...

Tele'a out. Te Hiwi at centre. Matt Whaanga on the bench
