Brumbies vs Hurricanes

I hope to fuck that wasn't pimply giraffe trying to run around that lock, because the lock was jogging

[Stargazer]

Sloppy play from the Canes. They're all over the place; no game management; and dropping tackles.

[mariner4life]

David Pocock is probably the best player i have ever seen over the ball. But he's not much chop at basically every other facet of rugby. The ultimate one trick pony.

[Stargazer]

Damn. Ponies' try.

[hydro11]

Can we stop giving them field position? We have been playing into their hands.

Great at the maul.

[Duluth]

That bench isn’t going to offer much impact

[Winger]

The Canes are playing dumb rugby. Hard on defense and try time and time again to run it out

[Stargazer]

Now a YC for Thomson for a high tackle.

[Higgins]

Don't have sky where I'm staying. Can someone watching give feedback on how JGB is going tonight please? I have never rated him and it appears neither did the Rebels who did not retain him after his performances over there last season.

He's been fine. It's everyone else who has been shit.

[Stargazer]

@higgins JGB made a few good tackles but there's virtually no game management. Hence why it's so messy. No direction. He's also slow. Jordie doing the goal kicking.

Edit: he's in no way the only one who isn't playing well. Some dumb decision making.

[Higgins]

Thanks Hydro, I just automatically assumed he might have been one of the reasons behind the shite performance. Might have to bite my tongue in this instance then.

[Tordah]

Garden Bachop has got the same body type as Dane Coles. And he looks fat even for a hooker

[hydro11]

Like that passage is a massive reason we have been doing terribly. A maul going poorly and Riccitelli doesn't release it at the back and concedes a turnover.

JGB isn't enough of a threat when he attacks the line and is tactical kicking/control doesn't make up for it. So he doesn't really offer anything as a pivot. It's up to the outsides to create with him playing.

[Tordah]

Riccitelli is just as stupid as his hairdo would make you think, isn't he

[Stargazer]

Goosen on for Lam; West replaces JGB.

[Stargazer]

Oh, fuck, that isn't a neck roll.

[Stargazer]

Ha, just looked at the replay. That was pure theatrics from Pocock, just like he did in the Highlanders game in Dunners.[link text](link url)

Ahhh, so my thoughts might be right afterall?
