It looks like it's my team versus yours Downunda. May the best team win! [img]graemlins/repuke.gif[/img]

I'm in tears...I just came back from Aussie Stadium to watch my beloved Tahs get flogged 51-10. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

At least it was an improvement from 96-19 last week...but their error rate was just too high and the Bumblies just capitalized. Losing five lineouts on your own throw is just unforgiveable, Cannon's throwing in the lineout is a disgrace and he needs to be removed from the team or taught how to throw the ball straight (which is his primary function anyway!!!). Absolute disgrace!!!!

Just too many dropped balls and pushed passes and the Bumblies made them pay for every single one. They weren't a 41-pts worse side, but playing catch-up footy towards the end just got the score blowing out.

Duncan McRae just looks too pedestrian in attack, he seems to have forgotten how to run the football. Larkham played all over him. Likewise we got outplayed in the backrow, Finegan had a whale of a game and well-outplayed Tuiavii. Too often Waugh was left without support at the breakdown and got cleaned out by the Brumbies tight forwards.

Bumblies look pretty awesome though, their game is back on song. Their recycling of the ball was very quick and their support of the ball carrier was exceptional, putting their bodies on the line at each breakdown. It'll be a good final next week at Christchurch.

Oh, and for those who have no idea what I'm talking about...it's Super 12 Rugby...the best interprovincial rugby in the world. Kicks ass all over the Zurich Premiership.

Umm the rest of the board and hence the REAL world

(runs) do you have any idea what these Aussies are on about now??

Well Aviendha, I have a feeling that the Australian team is going to lose out on this one. The Crusaders will beat the Brumbies EASY!

Downunda · 05-18-2002, 06:30 PM

Just woken up on a sunday mornin after a nite on the town, head has felt better than what it feels right now but... WE BEAT THE HIGHLANDERS!
Bring on the Bumblies
