Awful news that Pocock has done his ACL.
Terrible for Brumbies and terrible for the Wallabies mind you unlike the World Cup at least we have a couple of decent backups in Gill and Hooper now.

Definately soured the victory, George Smith did a solid job as his replacement.
Brumbies still have conceded a point in the second half of a game this season.
Big couple of weeks coming up with a 2 game road trip to Yarpie land

Tahs and Cheetahs tonight. If the Tahs lose tonight its time to start planning for next year!

Tahs lose 27-26 after losing Barnes early. Season over.

Reds go down to the Force
Big game for the Brumbies in yarpie land tonight

Wow what a first half by the Brumbies, smashing the Sharks to lead 26-3 with the bonus point already secure.
One of the best halves Ive seen us play in a long time, ball movement was slick and George Smith has been huge.

Brumbies win 29-10, very solid win. Poured with rain in the second half

Awesome effort by the Brumbies. I rate a lot of the South African teams this year too!

Brumbies lose their first for the season and break a 8 game winning streak on the road.
Started really sluggishly and the Stormers picked us off, good effort to get within 3 with 10 minutes to go but got sloppy in the final minutes and the Stormers scored an interception to deny us a BP
Just watched the Tahs v Blues, Tahs won with a late penalty.

Excruciating loss at NIB Friday night for Mr MK and self's first live game. Cheetah's starting this season where they left off last year.

The Rebels have been renamed the Rabbles after their 64-7 loss in South African and with Kurtley Beale and Cooper Verna sent home after Kurtley punched Cooper in he face.
Great come back from the Tahs, loved that game!

Brumbies beat the Bulls 23-20
Won it on the bell with an undeserved penalty.
Bulls levelled it at 20-20 after a last minute try and conversion.
Brumbies won a penalty on the restart and Lealiifano slotted it from 41 out.
Good result, Bulls had 9 Boks in their squad tonight.

Good result, also loved the Reds 34-33 the night before against the Highlanders in NZ.
Rebels lost in South Africa as expected.

Reds were awesome. They have definately stepped up a notch in the last couple of weeks, looking a big threat

Wow, my Tahs actually got 2 wins in a row after beating the Force today. Still not playing great.

Tragic

Very sad. Force played in black armbands on Sunday.

Brumbies could only manage a 28-28 draw tonight. Looked very lethargic and the injuries are starting to take their toll.
Missed far too many shots at goal, Kings were very undisciplined and gave away too many penalties.
Drama at the end, the final whistle had been blown with the Brumbies up 28-21, the ref was then notified by the touch judge about a foul. The TMO correctly judged that it was a penalty to the Kings and they scored seconds later

Sorry Wedgie - my boys too good.

Wasn't as ugly as I was expecting!

Another solid road win for the Brumbies, got over the Highlanders 30-19, just a pity we couldnt grab the 4th try for a BP
