@ The_Young_Turk:Dang you and your dog, but win for Brumbies helps us, I suppose
@ Just For Kicks:should read ‘Dang’
Only ONE unbeaten side left in the competition… the Stormpoppies
Well done to Jakes Brumbies.
Pleased the Brumbies won. This makes the Oz conference a bit harder. Opens it up a bit. Also with Highlanders losing it has done the same to the NZ sides. Open ups there conference a bit.
All to play for now from each team now.
Hope my Sharks don’t screw up against this competitive Brumbies side.
Cheers vir eers chaps… got to go to the shops quick
