I might watch this now to see how Austin Anderson goes in his debut.

[Kiwiwomble]

Judah Saumaisue, played for my club last year, think i'll watch this one just to see him get a run

@mikedogz draw means both can still happen

[antipodean]

Pointing out the obvious, but the conditions are going to be trying for the Brumbies.

[antipodean]

How the fuck is that a try? He's clearly crawling along the ground with a Drua defender touching him.

[taniwharugby]

9 and 10 for Drua not helping thier cause

[Bones]

Geez Muntz has a big boot, that mistake was 22 to 22 on the fly.

Nice work!

[African Monkey]

Muntz and Tualima making all the errors so far.

Kuruvoli scores off and Ikanavere break. 7-7 17 gone.

[Bones]

Oh that's not pretty, but fuck the brumbie milking it, he landed soft as.

[antipodean]

Throwing big bodies at Lolesio is a winning strategy so far.

Anderson didn't look too interested in using a shoulder in defence either.

[Bones]

Ref ignoring Brumbies players obstructing the breakdown from the Drua side at nearly every breakdown. Must be aiming for a RWC gig.

[Bones]

Awesome try, Brumbies backline was nowhere to be found on defence.

[Bovidae]

Fotuaika is a throwback to the amateur era when over-weight props walked around the field after 20 mins.

[African Monkey]

Drua 20-17 at halftime. Brumbies with most if the play, but the Drua also showing how hard it is for the Brumbies to keep up the same pace in the heat for so long.

[taniwharugby]

probably lucky they didnt look at that last pass, but then the Brumbies are sitting in thier backline.

25-24

[taniwharugby]

Drua in again off Brumbies error

32-24 after 62
