Brumbies v Highlanders
-
Again, haven't read the thread as only 50 minutes in. But what the fuck is wrong with a player who takes a quick tap on a penalty with the sole initial intention of kicking the ball away? Let alone kicking the fucking thing out.
After how many fucking first class games. Fuck me.

In a suburban home in Canberra:
Where are you going Tarquin?
I'm off to the rugby to do some booing mummy
Good cis boy, make sure you boo so much that you cry.
Like daddy does, mummy?
Yes, my non binary darling, just like daddy.
Is my hat in the back window of the car?
Yes my non gender child
Boooooooo!
Oh my little brumby fan is growing up. Love you dear, unless I find an unsavoury tweet. Remember, a non booed decision is an opportunity wasted.(Yes I have. I've attributed all the worlds ills to brumby supporters
) -
@kiwiwomble dunno, expressing my disdain for all the booing I guess
-
@kiwiwomble great win though wasn't it mate? Just catching the replay. Dermody has done a bang up job. All without our best forward of the season.
2021 a real success. A final or final win would be the icing but the cake is also very tasty without it

In fairness: you started it

Thought the physicality from the Brumbies was good but FFS hang onto the ball! So much bullshit touch-rugby passing and that grubber kick at the end when they were hot on attack was a fucking joke.
Oh, and that Renton guy should have been penalised and warned for trying to grab ankles in the Brumbies maul. That's right in front of the officials and utter fucking bullshit besides.

Some thoughts. Billy Harmon is just a huge force at the moment. I am surprised by the lack of recognition he is getting. They must be looking at him for the ABs surely! For the size of Pari Pari, it seems he goes into contact pretty gently although to be fair, it might look like that because he is so big (slow motion effect).
And it doesn't need to be said but Aaron Smith....just how good is this guy? -
And although the talent is spread and that weakens their teams, once the Wallabies get all the parts together, they are going to have a very handy team. That Brumbies 6 is a bloody physical player!

@old-samurai-jack doubt

@old-samurai-jack I always thought Harmon was the best 7 at the Crusaders, but he'd always get injured at the wrong time while there. He's a far more rounded 7 than Christie.

It was a great move for Billy to go South. More game time and a chance to really shine. Both SRA and SRTT he’s been superb.

@act-crusader he seems to have cut down on dopey penalties too

@siam
What the fuck is wrong with you? -

Nah. They find reasons not to select 7s at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me if they only picked Dalton as a stopgap while Cane is out.
-
@crucial is this another whinge about Boshier not getting selected for the ABs? Taukieaho would be a better drum to beat, but even there it's clear why others are selected ahead of him.
Weber is the token average chiefs selection. Live with it.
