    68 Better kick by O’Connor to the corner but not to touch and Ashley-Cooper has to take the ball to touch so the Force get a line-out 10m from the Brumbies’ line.

  • 152

    70 It’s pushed to the right! One of the easier kicks of the night that one.

  • 154

    149- jammer ou maat kom ons hoop op iets beter die jaar….

    Just back and Brumbies get a try.

  • 157

    72 It’s given the Brumbies a boot up the behind, here’s a good attack from Lealiifano again, out to Mortlock, a break here! Out to Edmonds, he slips O’Connor and is home! TRY BRUMBIES! 22-15 – if Mortlock lands the conversion that should be it!

    hel my pick is brumbies met 10 glad nie te sleg nie…solank die game net nou tot n einde kom….

    155 – Fires, Yip say so myself. Had to go out but saw the last 20min, was thinking Bulls are going to clean em Brumbies up at Loftus!! hahaha. Then they get a try.

    Now hope it stays that way for my bru picks.

    anyone know what the best place is to get a 512k line? THis 384 is not working on streaming.

  • 162

    i need another 11 points to be happy go Brumbies

  • 163

    159 – Scrumsaam, SCORE must stay just as it is. I have Brumbies by 9.

  • 164

    I need the Force to score an unconverted try, then for the Brumbies to land a penalty…..

  • 165

    Puma- then you got it spot on, i am happy with a window of 1

  • 166

    76 Toomua calmly playing the corners now, the Brumbies have weathered the Force comeback, but can they pinch a fourth try?

  • 167

    end of game
    24 – 15

    Daai nuwe site van die Lions, ek lag maar net.
    Elke keer wat ek daar gaan loer is daar about 700 spelers wat hulle reken die span kon haal. Flok as DM hulle eers so paar games laat saamspeel gaan die res van SA skyt.

    OK ek oordryf oor die 700, dis meer 70. Hoe de hel het hulle se baie talent. Hulle spog nou ook omdat hulle al die Pumas en Luiperds tot hul beskiking het.

    Kyk ek sal my woorde nou nie meer sluk vandat ED my daar geban het nie. Ek se julle waar ek hulle nog simpatiek behandel het sal ek nou oop ketels gooi. Ons word genoem dat ons hulle negatief aansien, maar die hele Flippen land gee hul geen kans nie.
