Not exactly an attractive advert for Rugby Union this game?
33

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 11:58 am

Joe Powell knocks behind the Brumbies maul…

32 @ Scrumdown:
No… not a SPARKLING game…
35

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:01 pm

Landers penalty, offside by the Brumbies… Joe Powel the guilty party.
36

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:02 pm

Good touchfinder by the Landers…

This game is poised to break out of the mould…
37

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:03 pm

Brumbies scrum… after an inevitable Landers knock.

Landers very error-prone, it has dogged them all season so far.
38

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:04 pm

Landers very kickable penalty, late tackle on Aaron Smith!

Brumbies 13 / 11 Highlanders

16 Minutes to go… still anybody’s game!
41

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:08 pm

Brumbies penalty, not rolling away by Siosuia Halanukonuka.
42

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:09 pm

Landers scrum, 10m from their own line… but the Brumbies maul was very good and made plenty ground!
43

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:11 pm

Aaron Smith clears for the Landers, to about the 10m line.
44

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:13 pm

Saia Fainga’a now on at hooker for the Brumbies… after making the move back to the Brumbies.

After all these years I still do not rate Saie Fainga’s… never been a fan… in fact never been a fan of any of the Fainga’a brothers.

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:14 pm

Landers over… looks held up!

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:19 pm

Patrick Osborne injured… almost a Brumbies try.
51

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:20 pm

Important few minutes in the game.
52

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:21 pm

Brumbies 5m out… penalty advantage…
53

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:22 pm

Penalty, right at the posts…

Brumbies opt to scrum!
54

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:24 pm

Scrum goes down… reset.
55

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:25 pm

2 Minutes to go.
56

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:25 pm

Good Landers defence…

Landers get the penalty…
57

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:26 pm

40 Seconds to go…
58

Scrumdown on 25 March 2017 at 12:27 pm

Ponies blown it?

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:27 pm

Last Brumbies scrum!
60

grootblousmile on 25 March 2017 at 12:28 pm

Brumbies penalty advantage… penalty given… no arms tackle.
