The Brumbies hosted the Lions at the Canberra Stadium, Canberra late this morning. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Brumbies won 24 / 13 in wet weather conditions, failing in the process to score the 4-try bonus point. The Lions defence on the day was better than we have seen from them all season, so far. One must however take into account that the weather is a great leveller.

Lions to pull a Red’s?
Probably not. The only Red’s they could pull is the cider from the fridge!
G’day to you all!
Let’s see if we can have upset No 2… doubt it though!

Dis reg so… ek werk so tussendeur….
Besig met ‘n Vol Windows 7 installasie vir een ou en besig om ‘n nasty virus (wat alle .exe disable het) te fix vir ‘n ander moegoe.
En die was veronderstel om ‘n straight forward naweek te wees 😆
10@ Blouste – Ja, die Reds het omtrent uit die dood opgestaan vandag.
Flok, daar mis Burton Francis ‘n sitter
Lions hot on attack….. penalty Lions, hulle vat hom pale toe
Burton slaag die keer.
Lions 3 / 0
GBS
Nee, ek sit by die huis en wag vir die houer met ons meubels vanuit die Kaapse hawe, dan moet ek begin kratte oopbreek en uitpak, moet gou iewers n crowbar gaan soek….en so bly man aan die gang, faark, sal bly wees as al die goete klaar is, trek nou al drie maande lank!
15@ Pietman – Flok, trek is vir die voëls…. koop sommer klomp nuwe goed man…. hehehehe
Dusty Noble is gekrok, Earl Rose op

Wonder hoekom het die Bulle hom laat gaan…He he he
19@ Tjarkie – Hello vrind!
Giteau makes it 3 / 3
Sien ou onerb kies al die underdogs op superbru…
Hy het die Reds gepick en het die Leeeus ook op vir ‘n wen…
GBS@15
Beslis, weet nie of die trek al daai koste werd was nie…..maar sommige van die goete is Pampoen se erfstukke.
Moes liewer nuut gekoop het egter, soos jy se.
Hellloooo Sharky!
25@ Blouste – Wel, hy was reg met die Reds / Saders game ook so…. hou nogal van sy strategie, al is dit mooooosa flawed!
Volgens die persentasies op superbru wat die manne se picks aanbetref was die Chiefs/Reds game ‘n groter upset as die Reds/Crusaders game…
Morning all. Very hectic morning. Only turned on the tv now. To see Reds have beaten the Chiefs big upset that.
GO LIONS
26@ Pietman – Statisties gesproke is daar paar events wat heel bo aan die lys is van goed wat vir mense die meeste stress gee…
Heel Bo – Dood in nabye familie
2de – Egskeiding
3de – Trek van huis
I kid you not!
