Player of the round: Ben Alexander. A mighty game, where he was involved in everything, and was rewarded with two tries.


Try of the round: Ben Alexander. Not a great round for tries, but the big prop's hustle and bustle to get over the line twice is worthy of merit.

Let me guess - the Reds and Tahs both lost this week. Gosh, I'm right!

Maybe we're lucky to get 5 Force players in there and not a clean sweep of Brumbies.

[JediKnight]

Hoiles is only in there because he'd complain too much if he wasn't (just like he spends the entire game complaining to the ref).

[Burgs]

And Gits coughed another $5k to the piefund.
Personally I thought Hill played better but not sure if the OS players are elligble?

[GIGS20]

I thought Gits had a pretty good game, which certainly qualifies him to be the Wallaby 10 according to historical evidence....Even when he sucks the media usually blow smoke up his ass.....

[sandgroperrugby]

Yeah gits actually attacked the line a few times and didn’t crab so much.

Anthony Faingaa had a good game in patches and is pretty good defensively; he had a couple of solid runs in the middle knocking off the first tackler and seemed to accelerate into contact. Some one to watch as a Wallabies bolter, would he be suited to play 13 as well?

[JediKnight]

I'm surprised that Growden stayed up to watch the Force and didn't just give it to the Brumbies team anyway!

[James]

He just managed to wake up from his pie induced coma in time.
