Brumbies' win at Force proves costly as Wallabies forward injured Brumbies' win at Force proves costly as Wallabies forward injured

ACT Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham has a prop problem after a second Wallabies forward succumbed to injury.

@MiketheSnow he's definitely a cult hero that Aussie rugby needs right now.

I'd say "put a bullet in the Tahs" but RA can't afford a bullet

Maybe we can send IWL and Cameron there, best for two teams

This ended up being a game where having a 6:2 split became an advantage due to the early injuries to Finau and Ah Kuoi.

@Bones

add in the 'bad passes' maybe?

That was 13 (Highlanders) v 12

Considering the conditions there was some very skillful and entertaining rugby on show today.

But I've seen horses in the Camargue play in less water.

I forgot about Cameron and how well he played last year. Must be in the AB frame. He is a traditional pivot who controls the game well. Just what the Canes need to compliment all the flash Harrys.

@Dan54 said in Force v Chiefs:

@Crucial Mind you, I don't recall commentators hardly ever calling tghe tackler's name anyway, or someone who has done grunt work, ie climbing of ground repeatedly. They do on odd occasion, and to be fair to them you can't name everyone involved while play is in motion.

True but this bloke made 20 tackles and you hardly heard his name.

The Chiefs Brumbies showdown shapes as a beauty. The Chiefs will be tested and will need to be on their game for this one, any hiccups like against the Reds and they get bumfucked.

@nostrildamus The game against the Blues will be interesting for sure. He is still playing his way back into form, would be really happy to see Macca Springer emerge to be of a similar caliber. When looking at a highlights reel of Will Jordan some of his tries are quite freakish.

Watched bits of this. Very puzzled by refereeing at the tackle. Reds had immunity to take out anyone and come in from any angle. I know many refs are now tolerant and rarely pull up attackers but I thought this was extreme. Commentary was a bit ott so I fast forwarded a lot. Interesting to see how Reds go v NZ teams with this tactic.
