Super Rugby: Brumbies vs. Bulls in Canberra (30/03/2013)

[TRF_stormer2010]

I'd take Botha over Coetzee in heart beat. Alberts is out injured.

I'm not talking about the fantasy rugbythread. I do browse through other threads as well at times.

Did you see them being suggested as the best in their position in the country?

Tell you what, we'll leave it here for now. Each time I see a SA poster make a ridiculous hyperbolic comment about one of their SA players, I'll post it in a thread, and I'll do the same for NZ players. If you see any yourself you can let me know

Did you see Botha being touted as best in position before the tournament? Your 'point' is irrelevant. ATM he is the form SA blindside and there is just no two ways about it. I'd go with Botes for open side and Labuschagne is in with a shout.

Highlightd bit sounds fair enough though I'd probably not be bothered to.

I feel like Ardie Savea is going to be the death of me

Form player and best player mean two different things to me.

Well, to me too. I took Gena as meaning current form as it is early to say he HAS to start for the Bokke if there was a test tomorrow so i didn't even consider an absolute literal meaning.

Actually you're right about Ardie Savea, he gets a ridiculous amount of hype both on the forums and in the NZ media. Emery is a completely different story - I don't think you'll find anyone calling him the best centre in NZ, or even saying he should be near the squad

I'm aware everyone hates Kirchner, which is understandable. It's frustrating when average players are continually selected in the national set up.

Good flankers? Coetzee, Alberts? Both are decent international players, guys who've earned a lot of caps for performing well.

Alberts injured, Coetzee playing in the no 6 - You are still compltely off the point here arguing why Botha is not among the best in SA at present and to be realistic I was commenting on the Bulls line-up for that game as Arno Botha is better that both Potgieters
Anycase, tired of justifying my comments thanks

You guys are the definition of off topic.

I thought I would come here and enjoy the speculation of the impact that Mogg brings for the Brumbies, and if last week might have made them rethink their strategy for the Bulls.

Meh

Bulls by 3

No it wasn't, guy wasn't held. Great angle by Coleman.

Three guys took him down, full body AND ball was grounded. He had to release.

Ye but no one held him down, he was more than entitled to get up. It was a try, nothing illegal in what Coleman did.

 

[cyclone101]

Shocking call

I was really hoping for a draw... Damnit.

Also, not a great call.

Also, terrible decision by the Bulls not to kick it out and take the draw.

If you're held when brought to ground you must release the ball. You don't have to be held whilst on the ground.

And apologies for the double post

 

[Sker]

The aussie commentators don't hold back do they "I hope he misses, they don't deserve the win"

 

[Rhyer]

What happened? What was the penalty for? Didn't catch the game unfortunately and can't find any article on it.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

It wasn't a major penalty, just a general not rolling away one, but it looked like a Brumbies player was off his feet anyway.

Aussie commentator pointing out an infringement by the Australian team? Shocking
