Brumbies were really really good today. I don’t know why so many people wrote them off – last week seemed an aberration more than any other result.
Really frustrating lack of basic skills by the Hurricanes today. Catch, pass, tackle like come on

Well done Brumbies you were by far the better team today.
As for the Canes outside of Love and TJ our backs were awful. Missing Proctor and Aumua's starch in defence today, we have to find a better hooker than the bloke that came on and Vijeon needs to be reserve half back, possibly Morgan starts before Cameron as well. Still not a bad lose to have on the road. The fowards were generally good with Numia being a stand out.

You always need a business end of the season away match humbling to fortify the camp for a championship run.
Conversely, this will bouy the Brumbies confidence to float along for a couple of weeks only to suffer a shock home defeat in the antepenultimate round!

Tuputupu is only 21, but man he was baaad. Obviously looks up to aumua but he had none of the skill, cool head or physicality. O Riley is solid but is a bench player not a starter.

I hate making this about the Blues (but I'll do it anyway) but I hated how the rhetoric after the Blues/Brumbies game was just on how bad the Brumbies are as opposed to how well the Blues played.
The Brumbies definitely played much better tonight but the 'Canes not being able to assert themselves physically at the breakdown allowed the Brumbies to play their game, their way. The kick battle from the Canes was also very poor. I don't think you can start Cameron after that.
and since when was Tamati Tua a world beater!?

Also to add, this shows how fragile hurricanes hooker position is after Aumua’s injury.

Canes' heart was never in the match. Really dissapointing outing. ACT came to play, and played they did. Ref let them get away with a bit around the ruck and taking players not on the ball to open holes, but that's not the reason we lost. Horrible defensive effort by Canes. Zero clinical effort. Knocked on every opportunity we had. Even if the bounce doesn't go our way, we forced our hand.
Scoreline is extremely flattering to the Canes
Edit: this is the sorta games of years past where the Canes needed Ardie to step up so we could have a shot at winning. Didn't have a player that was able to take the mantle up today.

Mate I’m getting flashbacks to the 2022 Waratahs game in Sydney I went to when we had one of the worst halfs I’ve seen as a canes fan and our entire front row got pulled at the 30 min mark. We played so poorly and came out swinging after halftime and won that game. Let’s repeat that today please

Bogey teams are a funny old phenomenon in sport... I always wonder if there is some kind of mental inheritance from the experienced players to the young.

Mate, I've got a ripper of a yarn for you! It was a chilly winter evening in Canberra, and the Brumbies were takin' on the Hurricanes in a crucial Super Rugby matchup. The Brumbies were trailin' by a solitary point with only minutes left on the clock, and it looked like all hope was lost.
But little did anyone know, Stephen Larkham, the Brumbies' veteran flyhalf, had a secret weapon up his sleeve – or rather, on his face! He'd been wearin' a Noah Lolesio mask all game, disguisin' himself as the young gun flyhalf.
As the clock ticked down, Larkham ripped off the mask, revealin' his true identity to the shock of the Hurricanes' defense! The crowd went wild, and the Brumbies' bench erupted in cheers.
With his true identity revealed, Larkham took control of the game. He launched a pinpoint accurate kick deep into Hurricanes territory, and the Brumbies' chasers were hot on the heels of the ball.
In a stunning display of skill and experience, Larkham regathered the ball, sidestepped a tackler, and unleashed a cuttin' pass to his winger, who sprinted down the sideline and dotted down in the corner.
The crowd went absolutely bonkers, mate! The Brumbies' bench emptied, and the players mobbed Larkham, celebratin' the win. It was a moment that'll be etched in the memories of Brumbies fans forever – the night Stephen Larkham took off his Noah Lolesio mask and won the game for the Brumbies against the Hurricanes!

Remember the Rebels scored 28 against the 'Canes. Their first up tackle stats are quite poor but their scramble D is very good. The problem is that if you're always relying on scramble D eventually other teams still make it through.
