Hello Perdjie!

Certainly a pressure game for the Brumbies… they are neck in neck with the Waratahs on the Log!

Blues showing their early intent… slinging the ball this way and that way…

The Blues are certainly up for this game!!

The fact that they scored this try with only 14 men on the pitch, in itself, is astonishing!
