This is going to be a a humdinger of a game. Brumbies will look to bore the shit out of everyone with rolling mauls and the Reds will try and keep them pinned in their own half.

Lang Park?

Of that name, but in Hawaii.

Good 5 Evil 0 with 12 minutes gone

Fuck me how did he blow that try?

R 18 B buggerall just before halftime

Nice try Samu. Reds just forgot to tackle him

Aaaaand mockersed the Reds. Samu scores, Kuenzle converts.

Pair of arseholes

I think kuridrani might be past it. He has been a great wallaby in the past so it is sad to see him holding on too long. He should take the money and play some easy rugby now.

He already is

I tend to think this brumbies team would knock over most provincial teams in the world, let alone club sides of the type seen in France or japan. You would agree that is reasonable, surely?

And that is coming from a reds supporter.

Not yet, or totally. If the reds wanted to install some doubt in the ponies' minds, they've certainly done it.

Do you think it is appropriate for an admin/mod to be trolling, even lightly? You already have a situation where you have rubbery 'guidelines', and it is likely that the subjective application of those, along with capricious decision making by some of the mods who have past form for that, is going to cause discontent. BBB in the past has been more than ready to disparage and belittle other posters, even when making moderating comments.

Slippery slope, Asmo.

Very happy with that win - it helps put the momentum in place for the final

Indeed.

This was my first time back at Suncorp since the Bulls game just before the restrictions started kicking in and the first time for ages I've sat up the back of the lower level.

Must say the low roof makes a hearty boo resonate very pleasingly.

Help if you have two Saffer fatties on the bench who sell boerewors to Brumbies

I was v. glad the Smith twins were back for this game

Such a shame Kerevi and Folau are not long term in the mix.

Two best players in Aussie by a mile. Folau was hatcheted . Such a shame. Stitch up job.

Kerevi took the money, for which I do to blame him. Folau took the hatchet to himself.
