SF Blues v Brumbies

Gotta admit it worries me slightly come the ABs how Barret will handle the suffocating Irish in regards to general play kicking. It was pretty dire in that second half.

I’m worried about our whole team against the Irish. Certainly not as confident as I normally would be.

Oh shit I thought the Brumbies player was on his feet and over the ball there, ref didn't have the balls to call the penalty
Ben O’Keeffe (Auckland) being a tad biased there you think?
I'd be seething if I was a Brumbies fan
Only if they closed their eyes for the maul that led to their second try. Never would've happened, worst pile of shit I've seen for ages, brumbies had 4 players just joining in front of the ball carrier.
One of my hatiest things in rugby, but unfortunately it happens basically every game without being penalised.

It really pissed me off here, as they joined a metre in front of him. Not just in front, giving the ball carrier a little tap as they go in front, but miles in front. I'll be livid for a while about how bad that was refed

It seems we are good with ball in hand going forward but our exits and tactical kicking seem to be our weakness.

The Blues nearly found a way to lose that. I would pick Robinson as my MOTM.
We should have lost it. BOK saved us at the end.

Brumbies should've been 8 behind, second try was only cause ref didn't know maul laws

Agreed. It was blatant.

They know how to give the opposition the ball and practice D all night. I don't think the ABs will beat the Irish making 200+ tackles and next to no possession.

Crusaders favourites for next week, really. Should be a cracker
I look forward to the TAB calling this one.

@chimoaus that’s why I think Jordie at 12 will work. He will take a lot of pressure off Beauden/Mo’unga

Agreed, I actually thought Perofeta was superior to BB but just didn't get enough opportunities.

Blues will be favourites and deservedly so but my money is on the Crusaders, they just know how to get the job done.

There is always a balance and you play to your strengths. They win. But Blues tactics appalling tonight given they were winning collisions and dominating rucks.
