I don't even need to watch that to figure it is the beautiful inside ball he gave to David Smith for the match winning try in Canberra.

Scored right in front of myself, Swee and Mrs Jargs

Brumbies fans only sing when they are winning!

I like him, looks like he needs a good preseason fitness on the Radiko Samo diet... but a good size outside back! ... however hard to see how fast he is in slow motion... I look forward to seeing him take the field... whats his defense like? Wingers are getting much bigger these days... nice signing can he play tight head also?

Muddy doesn't watch rugby, that's why his views are so similar to Bret Harris and Wayne Smith

menu up date...

Brumbies dining out

It's part of Jake White's radical ACT Brumbies revamp and a move the former World Cup-winning coach believes can boost his team's chances of having a successful Super Rugby campaign.
Every morning the Brumbies march like soldiers into their new kitchen and sit down ready to be served a specialised menu prepared by the club's first full-time chef.

When they're finished eating, they are sent to the gym or on to the field to train.

The routine starts again at lunch and the players insist they're already reaping the rewards.

''The Brumbies have always been different to everyone else, we want to be leaders again and this is one of the ways we can do it,'' White said.

''We've got a young group and we want to make it easier for them ... we know what it's like for 21 and 22-year-olds to be living on their own.

''This makes it easier for them and we can control what their bodies look like, what they're eating, when they're eating and it's scientifically worked out, it's not just a thumb suck.''

White enlisted the help of Australian Institute of Sport nutritionist Greg Shaw to design a menu to make his players the most well-prepared team in Super Rugby.

Since taking over the Brumbies coaching reins, White has started an ambitious overhaul of the club's headquarters.

It's all part of his plan to create a refreshed environment and rebuild the two-time Super Rugby champions.

But while the players get two meals a day, it's not for free.

They have to pay to eat the meals prepared for them and a group of players is given washing-up duties each week.

The front-rowers are usually the first to charge towards the fresh food and chef Brian Gibson has quickly learned he needs to cater for 65 people even though he only has 45 mouths to feed.

Prop Jono Owen has no doubt having a set diet will benefit his bid to be in the Brumbies' front-row rotation next year.

''It takes a lot of the thinking out of your day, especially for blokes that are bigger and need to trim down a bit,'' Owen said.

''We don't have to think about how many calories we're eating or healthy choices ... we know we're eating healthy and so far the props are down to skinfolds [a measurement of body fat] we were nowhere near last year.

''My skinfolds are 86 this year and that's down from 110.

''Most of the props last year were 100, but the line in the sand has been drawn to be under 80 this year.''

Owen said scrumhalf Nic White was one of the team's biggest eaters along with props Ben Alexander and Dan Palmer.

The three-week rotating menu is high protein, low fat and catered around what training the team does during the week.

Brumbies NRL recruit Joseph Tomane hoped eating breakfast and lunch together would help the young squad bond before the opening round of the season.

''I've never seen anything like this and it's working wonders with all the boys,'' Tomane said.

''It's made our lives a lot easier and while we're paying, it saves you money as well. I would spend $30 at Subway for lunch and I can get bigger portions here as well.

''We've got front-rowers that can eat like a horse so we've got to give the chef a hand if he needs it.''
