QF Brumbies vs Hurricanes
-
@KiwiMurph their loose forwards and pack in general were outstanding and you can be sure they will front again next week
-
If the Brumbies can beat Canes - Chiefs - Saders/Blues you’ve got to say they deserve the title. That’s a pretty intimidating run.
-
Just give the Crusaders the title now.

Kirifi always speaks well - he's a class act.
Yeah, he does. You could see how hurt the Canes players were after that too. Can't accuse them of not caring....

Biggest disappointment was not to see 3 full stadiums over the weekend still plenty of work for organisers to be done in that space
Well not much you can do when 2 of the 3 are the worst stadiums in the comp playing night winter games
Thankfully one of them is getting replaced

Can they build a roofed stadium in Canberra?

He’s played so well this year. Out of any player in NZ, I will be gutted for him if he doesn’t feature in Black this year. The sort of the leader we need in the ABs tbh.

Probably missed Aumua and IWL the most in that game. Lacked grunt with Devery and Delany in that tight five. Ah well, another season in the bin when we looked so good. Happens every year.
It’s more of an expectation that we face and lose against the Brumbies in Canberra now. The Canes must finish higher than them next season, but their weaker schedule always makes it tough.

All 3 are probably the bottom 3 stadiums in the competition

If I was making an argument for Kirifi in the ABs it would be as a specialist bench loosie to attack the breakdown.
Reckon their could be real value there and could be an option if you ran a 6-2 bench
I don't think the AB coaches have the balls to do something like that though

He’d be a real asset in that squad even if he didn’t make the 23. He’ll keep our starters honest at training that’s for sure.
Lakai’s injury looked quite bad so he may end up in there.

Agreed. Do you think that Super Rugby jacklers would be able to be effective enough over the ball at test level? Would be very interesting to see, and worth trying.

Tough luck canes. Tough way to end the season after having a tough start and working your way right back into it and hitting some form.
Feel like the loss of Aumua was just too much to overcome, especially with how the Brumbies forwards fronted up. Needed him there.
The makings of a very strong team and wouldn’t be surprised if they are up at the top end of the competition standings next season.

Same goes for Wallabies by the way. That Luke Reimer is a real asset who should be used for them.

Given Ardie, Lakai and Jacobson (and the mythical not-injured EB) can play at 7 and shift out, that's not a terrible idea on the face of it.

Judging by the progress of Te Kaha in Christchurch, next year the worst stadium without competition will be Canberra's. It's so bad I suggest the team is kicked out of the competition until they build a decent one in Civic.

We simply turn to paper Tigers every time we play in Canberra for a finals game bar 2016.
