55 @ grootblousmile:
We have known my mate and his wife for over 35 years. They like family to us. My mate is more like a brother to me.
puma @ 61
2nd Half ON!
64 @ Puma:
Excuses, excuses…. hehehe
Blues penalty, 5m out
Brumbies offside again, in front of the sticks
Brumbies 14 / 3 Blues
My Coffee is so strong, the metal teaspoon floated… till it melted….. hehehehe
The good thing about this game is that one of the 2 teams will get a notch cut out of their play-off aspirations.
If the Brumbies win, the Cheetahs will likely pass the Blues on the Logs
Try Rene Ranger, Blues.
He still had a lot to do, but his leg drive and awareness is so good
Brumbies 14 / 10 Blues

Yip, Ranger is a excellent player have rated him since the first time I saw him play. Was around 2009 or could have been the year before just forget. Seems he has been around a long time now. Great player.
Brumbies penalty… and another shot at goal
Brumbies 17 / 10 Blues
Now what was my Bru pick for this one… know it was Brumbies… but by how much?
Let’s see….
It says Brumbies by 5…. not far off that at present….
15 Minutes to go… still anybody’s game
Blues penalty… come on, slot it for me, will you!
Baden Kerr, who has replaced Chris Noakes slots it.
Brumbies 17 / 13 Blues
Glad there is no semblance of bonus points for tries in this game
Come on, that has to be a lineout all the way back… terrible refereeing and the linesman is just as blind.
TMO brings some sanity… lineout all the way back on about the Blues 22
Great counter-maul by the Blues, driving the Brumbies back, turnover scrum, Blues
9 Minutes to go, lineout on about halfway
Brumbies penalty, for holding on
Shot at goal from the 10m line by Lealiifano… and the crowd booes….
Brumbies 20 / 13 Blues
my bru is not looking good!
will be 3 wrong predictions in a row for this weekend!
