Try awarded…
Brumbies 12 / 15 Blues
Otere Black knocks…
He’s having a shocker of a game… knocks, 2 offside penalties, wayward at posts…
Brumbies penalty advantage, from a handy position at posts… 2m outside the 22.
They kick for the corner though!
Almost a try to Joe Powell.
TMO
No try… Powell held up.
Lemoentyd
2nd Half ON!
Little things holding the Blues back from being a much better side…
Flyhalves: Both Otere Black and replacement Harry Plummer are sub-standard in this absolutely vital position
Unforced Errors: Knocks, offside play, skew lineout throws
Set Piece vulnerability: Blues scrum strenght is suspect and they concede far too many scrum penalties.
Lack of grunt up front: Individual forwards are good but as a forward pack they somehow lack grunt. Is it a coaching issue or player issue?
Execution and option taking: Not always spot on
Ill dicipline: Far too many penalties conceded
Brumbies 5m penalty…
Blues get a team warning… a final one!
Another 5m penalty.
Yellow Card to No 3, Ofa Tu’ungafasi!
Brumbies opt to scrum on the 5m line… they want to drill the advantage home.
Scrums a terrible shambles in Super Rugby.
Reset again… 2 in a row.
Yet another Brumbies 5m penalty.
Another team warning for the Blues…
Try Brumbies!!
