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.

WELL DONE LIONS. NO win but you kept them out from scoring the 4 tries.
Is it over? If so, well done lions on not conceding that bonus point.
Brumbies win 24 / 13
127 – Snoek, Yip tough luck to the Lions there but they done well to keep Brumbies out of the bonus point. So well done to Lions.
kak game gewees
lol even skoppie talking about how kak rose and francis played
eish where is everyone now??

131 – Sharky at least the Lions never allowed the Brumbies a bonus point. So have to give them credit there.
Brumbies never looked as good as when they played the Bulls or Stormers. Maybe the travel thing.
Now really hope Sharks can do it tomorrow or at least keep the Tahs from getting a bonus point.
Cheers all, also forgot to put in my picks on RT sports. Probably too late now.
Catch up later.
true
135@ Puma – You would only have missed to pick 2 for today, put the rest in.
137 – GBS, Okay if there is time will do. Was hectic busy this morning was going to do it before I went out. Forgot.
Now hope the Blues can beat the Saders tomorrow, especially for my mate Poppa. Have Saders on my bru picks but would enjoy to see Blues win it.
Going to see if I can do those picks now.
