Malakai Fekitoa passes out to touch near the Brumbies line…

Brumbies get a relieving penalty at the ensuing lineout, 5m from their own line.

Lots of penalties in the game…
33

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 10:37 am

Brumbies have lost 4 of their own lineouts already…
34

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 10:38 am

Try Waisake Naholo, Landers!

Brumbies cop a Yellow Card to boot… Matt Toomua off to the bin!

Brumbies 6 / 10 Highlanders

I will not be surprized to see all 4 New Zealand sides advance after this weekend’s Quarters…

2nd Half ON!
42

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 10:57 am

Lealiifano shot at goal off the uprights… missed.

Brumbies then knock on halfway…

For the Quarters I picked the Highlanders to win this game, on SuperBru, the Hurricanes to beat the Sharks in New Zealand, picked the Lions to beat the Crusaders (but it was a pick straight from the heart) and the Chiefs to beat the Stormers at Newlands…
44

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:01 am

Landers penalty at goal…
45

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:02 am

Some serious booing going on in Canberra… not good to hear.

Sapoaga just misses in the wind…

Matt Toomua back from the bin.

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:03 am

For a wet weather game, this is a good game…
47

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:04 am

Brumbies penalty, in on the side of the maul.
48

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:05 am

Brumbies penalty, inside the Landers 22… should be a shot at goal…
49

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:06 am

Brumbies 9 / 10 Highlanders
50

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:08 am

Landers penalty, Scott Sio in on the side of the ruck on the counter-ruck.
51

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:09 am

Landers replacement prop, No 18, Siosiua Halanukonuka, off injured.
52

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:10 am

Penalty Landers, in front outside the 22… offside play by the Brumbies.
53

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:11 am

Missed sitter, off the upright…
54

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:13 am

Intercept by the Landers… Lima Sopoaga… he passes to the speedy Faddes who makes massive ground, the ball is recycled and Squire scores the try, great stuff!
55

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:14 am

Brumbies 9 / 15 Highlanders
56

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:15 am

20 Minutes to go in the match… the deficit is only 6 points.

By no means a done deal yet…
57

grootblousmile on 22 July 2016 at 11:16 am

Brumbies penalty… knocked and then playing the ball on the ground…

This one very, very kickable… but they kick for touch.

I would have taken the shot at goal…

Hello Groot,

Landers steal another Brumbies lineout…

They kick out inside the Brumbies half…
