Brumbies vs the BIL

[dirty harry]

Scored the try, making carriers, making yards
Morgan imo should be starting 7, but VDF has done nothing better than Chessum to show he should be starting g ahead on the wings. Chessum also has a line out option

He's been OK, try was ok, he's carried ok against an underpowered Brumbies defence. But conceding a try from first pillar is inexcusable, he was stepped, and was looking away from the ruck. VDF nor Morgan make that error.

I actually think Chessum stands a chance due to O Keefes reffing style, and wouldnt be surprised to see Morgan miss out.

I'd say start Ringrose in the first test with Tuipolotu as he's been very good so far, and if that doesn't work, put Jones back in for that familiarity.

I hope to see Jones in the 23 shirt covering centre and 15, means we don't need to have Marcus in there covering and can have F.Smith on the bench instead

No hia, he's off

BBC said it was a HIA

He's played a bit of wing hasn't he?

 

[Reiser99]

Ringrose I thought has looked really good.
Depends what Farrell wants in his 13, both good options.

I'm listening on talksport and I think i only heard Ringrose's name once. Granted he apparently was stepping like BOD, but that was it. Maybe just commentators not mentioning him.

Agree

 

[dirty harry]

Nobodies mentioned Itoje so far..
What a ******* beast! His support work going forward is relentless!!!!

The only thing id say, is if it was an option we'd have seen it by now?

Maybe Saturday

VDF this tour wouldn't be in that position, he's been a passenger.

Passengers harsh.

 

[dirty harry]

Itoje disrupting 2 lineouts in a row...

Get him off and wrapped in wool!!!

 

[dirty harry]

Smiths in for a rough 36 mins

 

[Crash Hamster]

Smith is certainly useful in attack though.

That aged well

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

**** that was slick

 

[Aristodemus]

That was actually very nice

Ringrose hasn't been bad, but Jones has been better. (And that was nice from Ringrose)
Tuipulotu way better than Aki.

I've no problem with Ringrose ahead of Jones, I just don't think it's deserved by form on tour, and then factor in that Tuipulotu has to start, and it becomes "really ought" rather than "probably should" for Jones - all IMO of course

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That looked dodgy, one of the Lions had a brumby around the neck and was pulling him backwards while kneeling on his legs so choking him and destroying his knees at the same time

 

[Rugby100]

They say Kinghorn has a knee knock and he was taken off for precaution. I've had a few of them and they look worse than what they are so I don't think it's tour ending, if it was a muscle problem then it might be game over but it ain't, so e'll see

I don't agree with the feel that this is the test team, still one game to go, I feel number 7 (openside flanker) back row is Morgans, I feel the centers are not locked down yet. FB position is open if Kinghorn does not come back

*Brumbies score another try*

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Beautiful line
