That's a pretty handy bench if Latu plays.

Foketi was good at 12 last week.

Think Brumbies will be too strong up front however.

Hope Tautalatasi Tasi gets a decent run, although with two outside backs on the bench he probably won't. Been a standout in club rugby this year, scored a good try last week:

Going along - mostly for the stadium.

Hope the crowd is at least decent, and with Brumbies fans around it could be. Of course the Sydney Rugby cognoscenti will be at the opening of snow season I suppose.

Only half watching.. the Tahs having a shocker 28-3 at HT

The knock on over the try line summed up the half

I hope you enjoyed the light show. There’s nothing to enjoy about the Tahs effort so far

[antipodean]

I stopped after the Brumbies scored three tries in eight minutes.

[Chris]

Maybe not all over 28-10

[Damo]

I heard the commentators say that this will be Phipps last game at home.

Best news I heard this hour. Phipps is the biggest fluffybunny/plum/shithead in the game.

[ACT Crusader]

Good ol’ Beale crabbing across field and putting his outsides under pressure.

[Steven Harris]

Good result for both Landers & Chiefs..!

[Chris]

@Steven-Harris

Good result for both Landers & Chiefs

Especially if the Sharks lose

[E African Troll]

@Chris

Landers have no shot

Stormers should get BP win vs Sunwolves so they'll be on 35 pts

Then host Sharks as well in CT

Chiefs play Rebels next week

Even if a miracle happens & Landers get right results go their way they'll be the #8 seed & Crusaders will destroy them in QF

[Chris]

@Jaguares4real of course we will destroy them in the QF but they (the Landers) could still make 8th 36 points maybe enough if the Rebels beat the chiefs slim hope but possible and the Sharks lose to the Jags and Stormers.They have to beat the Tahs with a bonus point but that’s possible in Invercargill

[NTA]

Nice stadium.

Shit performance by the Tahs. Scared, little, bitches.
