Wow. First ever for the Rebels in EnZed. Superb defensive effort from the Vics. Crusaders were dire; why the bloody hell they didn't take an obviously injured Carter off is beyond me. Yeah, they'd hooked Taylor just before but Slade could easily slot in at 10.
Yeah it was silly. Crusaders are always slow off the blocks (lose the first few) but you'd think they'd get past the Rebels. Pretty happy tbh - hate the Saders and Rebels showing some class is good for the comp.
Hasn't properly been at it for a couple of seasons now. The family side dominating the breakdown. Pocock not playing like a chap who's pretty much missed the last two years having his knees rebuilt.
Man, that's a monster of a kick from White. Perfect attacking platform with a minute to the break. Maul looking good, White, Coleman, T-R-Y. Beautiful stuff.
Brumbies dominating, don't think this one will be an upset. Kinda hoping the Reds will be show a bit of a challenge in the second. Nothing special so far tbh.
Brumbies should probably be further ahead than 35-3. Final pass keeps getting butchered. Reds pretty much gone. Brumbies' pack done a total number on them.
Was expecting the Brumbies to win but wasn't quite expecting this scoreline. The Reds have been so fucking bad.
Horwill is such a hack. No idea how he ever captained the Wobblies. Thought White's try pretty much summed it up; Genia sleeping and paid the price. Quite the fall from grace for the little PNGer. Was arguably the best #9 in world rugby a coupla years back. Could be out of the QLD side if he plays many more games like that.
Well Lions have had all the ball but very positive signs for the Canes who have been tackling well (Hurricanes of old would have let so many tries in) and we have the lead 11-8 at half time! albeit from the Lions not taking their chances. That's another thing, the little ball we've had, we've come up with points. Just hoping we get to play a bit in the 2nd. Discipline has been a lil iffy tstl.
Hurricanes win!!! Well worth getting up for. Gotta ask wtf the Lions were doing kciking for touch instead of taking the 3's during the match. Things are looking good for us. Barely any ball (especially in the 1st) yet we were leading basically the whole game.
