Fifteen minutes played and still no score. Until now, the Force's maul defence has held. Can't see that last, though.
-
Try shouldn't be awarded. Not clear and obvious.
-
Yep, yellow all day, every day.
-
And there is the try! One man less to defend and the Brumbies are in. It took them almost 20 minutes.
-
85% territory for Brumbies
Force did well to hold out for 20mins
-
Forward pass to Samu?
-
Samu thought he’d do it easily
Terrible play
-
Has Aussie rugby taught Samu to run upright like a leaguie...
-
I don't know why the "Harvey Beef" at the front of the Force jersey makes me laugh, but it does.
-
Two tries already during Kuridrani's spell in the sin bin.
-
Force making a bit of a comeback. Two tries now, and with the Brumbies under pressure (and a man in the bin).
-
Sefo Kautai is on for his Brumbies debut.
Edited to add that the commentators said that he has played with Jahrome Brown (and Tucker). Is Brown a Kiwi?
-
@stargazer as many Waikato forwards in Brumbies as in Chiefs, including Brown
-
@stargazer Yep. Pretty good, too.

Brown was a good no.8 at Ham BHS and was in the team that drew with Scots in the final in 2014. A teammate of Ayden Johnstone's. He played for NZ Barbarian Schools that year.
-
@arhs Jordan Smiler is another Waikato player who ended up at the Brumbies. Speight for the backs.
