Expect this to be an entertaining game. Weather forecast is good. Brumbies coming off a big win should have the confidence sky high.

Should be attending as supposed to be playing in a curtain raiser, but because it's GIO stadium I don't think I can be bothered.

[Duluth]

Some great interplay down the left wing by the Brumbies

Their scrum was looking ominous too

[Duluth]

That pass to Cale looked forward

[Canes4life]

Some really dumb decision making by the Drua so far. If only they had more patience.

[Duluth]

Well taken. Cale is useful down the tram lines.. similar to a young Read

7-0

[KiwiMurph]

Drua aren't at the races.

[Canes4life]

Man the Drua are entertaining. It's like watching a barbarians side at times with some of the innovation they come up with.

[Canes4life]

Brumbies looking really good. 26-7, kick to come.

[Canes4life]

Glad I picked Hooper and Cale in my Fantasy side. Both of them have been huge for the Brumbies.

[Duluth]

Oh it’s a contest again

[antipodean]

Nice try out of nothing.

If you're unfortunate enough to be at the ground, at least you're being entertained.

Yep, this is some game, isn't it?

[Duluth]

Very good by Wright. Took out loads of defenders and the decision to just fling the ball wide

Great support play too.

[NTA]

Brumbies fucking around a bit with the ball in their own red zone. Going to hurt them eventually.

[Canes4life]

Have the rules changed? The Drua score and take the conversion and then the TMO interrupts after the fact and negates everything by calling the try a knock on. I thought once a player takes the conversion, the TMO couldn't interfere?

Yeah they changed it so you had until the restart which is a defined period. Too many teams taking sneaky conversions quickly

He's improved out of sight in the last 18 months. Now the preeminent fullback in Australia IMO.

Thanks for clarifying.
