Brumbies v Force Round 3

[bootsetal06]

Donaldson Burey combo fantastic! Kuenzle great game ! The line was so good today … Positive.

Agree looking better it’s not as bleak as last week

[WFDom]

Heaps better. But the dumb stuff undid us!

[SNOB]

Definitely looking better but without a scrum we are always going to be suffering, such a shame when we have a lineout that is stealing so often.
Definitely a swinging arm to the head how the hell did no one pick that up? As for sir calling a knock on only to be corrected that it was a try was unbelievable where the hell did he pick that one from?
Stan sports is still rubbish for the second week in a row watching on delayed and on the 22 minute it then jumps to the 53rd. Fox maybe expensive but at least they knew what they were doing.

Clear high shot on Kuenzle when we were exiting our 22 and Nic White taken out off the ball earlier in the game. Both should've had TMO interjection.

Our discipline was atrocious early in the second half though, and that cost us dearly.

We cannot afford to have Hancock in the 23. Surely Moli can't be that underdone that he can't hold up the scrum for 20 minutes off the bench. Otherwise we just need to leave Medrano out there for 80.

Backline was very good today and really gelling nicely. Been surprisingly impressed by Donaldson at 10 the last couple of weeks. A pity he wasn't on his kicking game off the tee today though - was the difference in the end

Very impressive effort today. The whole backline looked good especially Donaldson taking on the line. Tiatia runs hot and cold. He made some great runs then seemed to have brain implossions and gave away a number of penalties which put us on the backfoot.
Overall we lost the penalty count 16-4. Hard to win with a penalty count like that.
Still, it gives me some confidence going into next week.

Are you casting from a phone/tablet or a smart TV app? I've never had an issue via TV.

[Tazzmania]

Great effort by the boys today, we are moving in the right direction.

Keep the faith.

The attack is starting to take shape and the cohesion is building nicely and can be clearly seen.

First stats up are the defense stats.

Tizzano a standout in defense, and well backed up by Kuenzle, Harris, Wells and again Stewart. Special mention to Ryan Coxon.

[Tazzmania]

As expected the attack stats are very pleasing:

Donaldson and Potter were on fire.

White, Horton, Burey, Kuenzle and Tiatia good.

Harris and Williams worked hard.

Coxon and Wells involved.

Smart tv. I wasn’t even touching a remote at either time. You would have thought it was my fault if you’d heard that must be obeyed though.

[SNOB]

As much as we are all impressed with the improvement unfortunately I don’t believe it’s going to be good enough to get us in the top 8 by seasons end. I thought with the talk coming out of hq during the build up we were coming out all guns firing, unfortunately not. I understand that injuries can’t be controlled but the way the game is played today we have to have depth especially in the scrum. I can’t remember the last time I saw uncontested scrums but atm I think we should play our best and play the last 10-15 with out! Sarcasm!

[Helmet]

Did Potter cop a punch at the end for the knock on? Knee looked to be on the left side of the head and the cut is on the right.

Was the knee just a red herring?

He was punched from his right side by a Brumbies player, then got kneed by another Brumbies player.

Nothing unusual there.

I go Laptop-HDMI-big telly and the only time I've had trouble is in starting a delayed and jumping to live. This was last year though.
The ability to watch what you want when you want and the extra weekly shows (and the local matches and the Juniors and the Northern Hemisphere...) leaves Stan well ahead of Fox I reckon.
