    Horto's great, but playing THP is a huge ask for him.
    Horto, as in #2 Horto??? Thought they’d have taken two full front rows for the trial match…

    Brett McKay reported the injury on his twitter feed.

    I suspect that the Brumbies writer of their blog got the incorrect information for his direct replacement as we had two loose heads on the bench Marley P and Atu M

    We scrum for posession, run for the try zone, bleed for the team and live for the game

    Was surprisingly scrappy 1H, which included about 15 mins of play being
    completely Damon Murphy'd.

    Have we still not sorted this out- sheesh!

    It’s hard to get a full picture of what went down and who was on the park without visuals but 5 tries to zip in 40 minutes is a worrying sign in any situation… 30 + degrees was mentioned somewhere…. Well the forecast is for 34 on Saturday !

    The first half would have been the probables who held their own and the last 40 would have been the possibles who didn't do as well. (I'm trying to put a positive spin on it!)

    "Completely Damon Murphy'd"

    Whinging about the referee in a pre-season hit out has to be close to a record.

    I had a similar thought, Brumbies also had a hit out the week before to blow out some cobwebs so I'd say the first 15 did pretty well before the changes were made.

    Hopefully they're better for the contested run.

    Would be a good point. Except for the small fact that it was a comment from the journo.

    If the crowd knows what to expect from Damon Murphy.

    and, if the Journalists know what to expect from Damon Murphy.

    then surely the coaches and the players know what to expect from Damon Murphy.

    Why, the f*ck arent we adjusting our playing style to suit??

    Well X, like I said, that was a comment made by Brett McKay.I took it to mean Murphy was just being a pedantic twat as usual - for both teams.

    . Seems fair enough when we look to be living in an alternate factoid world.

    I can only go by the Brumbies twitter feed, which might have missed some of the subtleties in the swap, but that was what was written.
