        The result is a foregone conclusion.

          Only the margin is up for grabs.

          Will it be 50? 60? Or will the Brumbies bore everyone to death with a rolling maul and just make it a lazy 40?

          Tahs lost three backs in Round 1 - 2 injuries and a suspension, and the guy keeping Swinton's spot warm.

              Same as last week

              Caird didn't look ready for this level.

              Whetton looked gassed after 25mins. I think he's effective in slow tempo games maybe this week suits him better

              If not, there'll be some Aussies in the second row very soon

                @gunner There are none. We produce a bunch but they all end up elsewhere. LSL was from Sydney, Rodda was from NSW, etc. Some of the up and coming locks in the other teams are from NSW too. Pretty much all top-line Wallaby locks are in Europe or Japan (Arnolds, Rodda, Skelton, Philip, Coleman list goes on forever), so they aren't available.

                Waratah's from Gibson on have aggressively expelled all available talent.

                  Never heard of this guy which is strange as I presume he is another player from the Irish village of Tokoroa?

                    Quality accurate passing from the Brumbies. That’s been rare this weekend

                        Tahs scrum better than last week's shit effort. Lineout working well.

                        We're still going to get flogged, but at least some improvement had been shown.

                          To compete against Brumbies/Crusaders you have to limit handling errors (for defending scrums) and limit penalties (for defending lineouts).

                          Tahs have done neither.

                            Tahs have done neither.

                            They went about 30 minutes with Berry not pinging the Brumbies once for offside - which they were at multiple rucks under the new interpretations.

                            The couple of scrum penalties against Angus Bell have been called from the sideline and I don't think Perrett is seeing that right. Brumbies have also walked 2 scrums around the corner and gotten away with it.

                            That last try sums up where the Tahs are at tho: we stopped them, got the "Use it once" call, and then stood up and went for the pill instead of shoving them back. Mentally poor.

                            The two Kiwi locks clearly got a whipping over their scrum work in Brisbane last week. A lot better today.

                                  The Waratahs will be hoping that the Trans-Tasman competition doesn't go ahead. The Blues and Crusaders will go into triple digits against this lot.

                                    Berry still has zero idea about scrums

                                    Brumbies walked 3 around the corner and awarded a penalty each time. Tahs loosehead don't move backward an inch

                                      The Brumbies will score more than 50 in this game.

                                        Going to be a lot of "effing and jeffing" from the Rugby Report card boys this week.

                                            Not sure who's going for the wooden spoon, this season. Tahs or Force. I think the Rebels will be okay.

                                                  Overall, the Tahs improved quite a bit on last week - besides the ref having no idea about scrums, their set piece was solid, winning all their lineouts as well.

                                                  Some of the general play was better, but defensive alignment continues to be a problem. This is a mixture of the chasm in experience between the two sides, and the fact that the Ponies have been very settled while the Tahs' cupboard is bare.

                                                  Again: the back office fails to recruit properly or soberly, and we end up failing to develop players.

                                                    Newsome isn't a Super Rugby quality player and he's the captain (yes with Gordon injury). Says a lot.

                                                          It seemed to me the Brumbies just needed to screw the scrum to get the penalty. The Tahs front row were looking at nobody when the penalties came.
