Brumbies are title contenders for sure this year.
Dunno if they get handed so much dumb by other teams in contention.
Based on this weekend they will.

That space they found out wide has me looking forward to RI and CC out wide against them.

Congratulations to the Brumbies regardless of how the Canes played.
The Aussie teams in the last few seasons have been the laughing stock , but it’s fair to say we have seen some dramatic improvement especially from the Warratahs , the Brumbies have always provided the best opposition for NZ teams and it seems like they have added some really good attack to their game ..
They are definitely in the running , but have a tough draw in the next few weeks, if they can finish 1st or 2nd that might put them in a good spot to progress ..
Great for the comp ..Dave Rennie will have a big smile on his face rather than Foster at the minute -
Brumbies deserved winners.
Did anyone spot Ardie on defence?
-
thought the reffing of the game was one of the better performances of the year, communicated well, thought things through, sure he got a few things wrong, but who doesnt, well done that man.

Morgan and Gibson went well today and the starting locks had great workrate. Shame about the rest.
Thought that was a clearcut penalty try with a cynical slap stopping an easy try. What is with Canes passing though? So many bounce passes and no lookers. At least Rayasi can catch those ones... Sullivan looking like a mirror image of Rioane at 13 amongst all of this.
Well done Brumbies. Their game with Blues will be huge. Swain and Valetini are immense. -
@Crazy-Horse similar weaknesses... And similar pace and glide on the break. They seem far quicker on extended bursts than any other midfielders.

Yeah I can buy those comparisons. I was thinking along the lines of Reiko plays centre like a converted winger (who is getting better there) whereas Sullivan looks like a converted centre when he plays on the wing.

@Crazy-Horse if both can keep improving their defensive reads and get better at completing breaks for the support player or tackle setup we will have great competition for AB's at 13.

And the Canberra hoodoo carries on for the Canes. We just never play well in the Australian capital do we.
I really don't know what the hell we are doing with all these no look passes on attack. James Blackwell is notorious for throwing them to the ground so why do we keep doing it?
As I said last week we really need an injection of someone like Dane Coles, his leadership and abrasive nature is something that we are missing right now.
We've arguably played the two toughest Aussie teams so hopefully we can get on a bit of run starting next week at home while getting some of our cattle back on the park.
