And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you CARRY THE BALL IN 2 HANDS.

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 6:29 am**

Lackluster game, really.

Give Dalton Papalii the AB starting jersey already.

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 6:30 am**

You can’t carry it 2 hands always torq.

That was unlucky.

Blimey so the table isn’t great for Aus.

Only question is whether any Aus side can manage a win against a NZ one

The Aussie and Kiwi teams have both played below the standards they were showing in their previous home competitions. Pretty average comp, so far. Poor defense at times, average skills, ordinary tactics. Not that impressive at this stage, but early days.

Competition format

Each of the New Zealand teams will play each of the five Australian teams over the next five weeks, before the top two teams – regardless of which country they’re from – clash in the June 19 final.

You bastard!!! You had to post that just before our game starts, didn't you?

Ouch - finger in the eye is not good. Totally accidental but we cannot afford to lose Vai'i

I thought long and hard on this one and played safe: picking Chiefs for a narrow win.

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 7:27 am**

We never used to get forward tries - now we have 2.

I'll happily take it because the backs cannot hang on to the ball

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 7:30 am**

Kata is targetting Weber at every run.

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 7:32 am**

Ridiculous going back for the fwd pass after so many phases.

The AR called it straight away but the refs comms were out. That explains the what but I agree that over a minute of play sorta over-rules that.

And other try to the Chiefs forwards.

19 to 5

Well glad I didn't go Bunglies now.

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 7:55 am**

Bloody backs and their hands. That was almost a dead set certain try and Weber dropped a perfectly good pass

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 7:57 am**

The Brumbies 9 is so relieved

He should have let it go past him to the man outside. Bet he would not have dropped it

Yep, that was a Minties moment.

How well is Jacobson playing, he must be close to an ABs recall, shirley?

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 8:02 am**

Chiefs look too slick for the Brumbies at this stage which if I’m honest I find surprising given the travel situation of both teams.
Why can’t Aussie props scrum straight? Sio is worse than Thor.

Jacobson looking very sharp. The greater crested Mckenzie also doing good things.

Maybe not but has anyone come up with an answer or is it just good ole Aussie scrum trickery?

Nice touch from the guy who clotheslined DMac. Gets a card but still takes time to stop and apologise to DMac on his way off.

Their usual scrum direction is “straight down”

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 9:02 am**

40 to 19 final score with a bonus point.

Man we need a better bench though

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 9:09 am**

I’m no expert but I reckon continually kicking the ball to DMac at the back is not a good idea. Why not go for touch, slow it down a bit and contest the line out just to break up play a bit. Letting the Chiefs or any other NZ team run it back at you is probably not a good strategy.

Mo'unga is actually pretty good, you know.

Ouch. I can’t watch this massacre

Posted: **Sat May 22, 2021 10:09 am**

No advantage for the knock-on?

Tough call there
