Ikitau my MOTM. He should be starting for the Wallabies.
Did anyone else think Ardie scored after the initial hand under the ball?
He started 12 games in the midfield for the Wallabies last year - the most of any player in any position. Think it's safe to say he's got that spot locked down.
He and Samu Kerevi will be massive for Australia's chances at the World Cup.

Naholo looked like a mini Rupeni scoring that.

Jordie is shite. He’s been shite all year.
Sadly true, second year (in position) syndrome lol
Easy read

Nick White is just constantly in the refs ear.
Been pulled... Good call from the coach.. Berry had had enough of him.
Job done though

Holland - Don't take off Roigard
Good on Flanders
Great effort
But if the ABs think that Roigard’s feed to the scrum which started it all will be entertained at the RWC then they’re going to be sadly mistaken
Thought I was watching league

Savea crying in the post interview. Good passion.
Fuck that

Great game of rugby. The better team won IMO. Sadly for the Hurricanes, some of their players were not up to it, the whole midfield in particular. Blackwell tried much but his lack of physicality was telling against bigger opponents. Comically, it was Delaney who was subbed.

Ah fuck. Just finished watching.
As much as I reckon Ardie scored the decision was "correct".
Even under the "old" system/question "try or no try?".
Poos.
Entertaining game. Shame one team had to lose.
As a side whinge Wright should have been YC'ed after his try, and restart should have been pen at halfway.

Haven’t read the whole thread but the Canes backs looked more like a first game team finding their connection than finalists.
Have to wonder if Cameron was the problem. Not that he played badly, just a lack of game time with the others.
As mentioned Jordie was pants. Showed nothing then topped it off with a bad decision on attack. Certainly not showing what we need in the AB 12 jersey -

from Reddit, looks like the final call was a good one. A second hand under the ball
great finish. Brumbies looked the better side - kicked better, and just smashed everything in front of them. That Canberra crowd is classically feral
Looks to me like he scored there. You just can't see the other part of the ball. No try correct decision.

I'm comfortable with the decision. Much of the first half was about self inflicted wounds and poor game management. When we had the chance to steal it we fluffed our lines

Looking forward to watching Barrett tonight. Had some big moments last week.
That comment was a kiss of death.
Jordie was very average. No punch, nothing.He has two problems - he just runs straight and hard all the time ( no subtle variations ) and his decision making has always been mixed ( prone to brain fades ). But he has strengths - he runs straight and hard, has a massive boot.

I just don't think the way we've played has suited his game. The midfield does not run it up and set a target for the forwards, the canes rely on forwards in the backline or at first or second receiver running it up

@Tim said in QF: Brumbies v Hurricanes:
Hurricanes need some locks and loose forwards who put in dominant hits on defence.
We've needed those since Jerry
Well they have got Brad Shields and Reed Prinsep on their books, do they fit the bill? Is TK Howden still around next season?
