Blues v Brumbies
-
Well deserved try by Funaki, the Blues look so much more threatening at 9 compared to old mate Christie.
-
Brumbies 20 is lucky Riccitelli scored that, or he could be sitting on the sideline too. Clearly changed bind and came from offside.
-
McWhannell played well. He is having a good season.
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack surely on the radar for Ryan and Robertson.
-
That's all Lam's fault.

Has to be. He is abrasive. A couple of Canes lads putting their hands up too.

I constantly criticised his coaching and selections. I think some people were just pleased it wasn't Tana or JK bad.
Maybe so, but he had the tied most talented squad in Super Rugby for his last 3 seasons (2021-2023) and still had an overwelmingly poor record against the Crusaders and Chiefs overall. Couldn't win the title in those seasons and only made the final once - the year Schmidt was orchestrating their training sessions and was the coach in all but name.

I don't know what point you're making here. I'm not disagreeing - hence why I question his involvement in the ABs.

Lineout has gone to shit now Eklund is on the field.
-
Ofa saying Cotter has them concentrating on the basics and then expressing themselves

Another lost lineout.
-
Eklund in. A shame his throwing has been poor as he goes well around the field.
-
I'm going to enjoy the next week here in Canberra.

Well played Blues, a statement performance tonight.
