the brumbies last try came from a blatant forward pass

I'm trying to keep a check on my feelings of being defensive and what if's about what concessions the Force were [not] given etc. So in light of this:

Good on 'em - maybe last week was just an aberation and they are contenders! Go Australia! (and the 30% international contingent getting inside information on how we play in prep for the world cup)

Crap..it's going to be rough on the tippings this weekend..so far 0 from 2.

Beat me to it!

[zimeric]

certainly didnt pick that one

Gerrard had a blinder, far better than i expected him to be playing... Cipriani also played well.. maybe a few issues in defence and slow decision making but his positional play was outstanding.

[Burgs]

Congratulations Melbourne.
I hope you play just as well against the Force.

I'm loving the new Julian Huxley right now! What a fantastic comeback from what anyone else would have considered a career-stopping brain tumour, and he's playing such beautiful rugby. Such a wonderful story in our sport.

Cirpiani has a fabulous kicking boot on him!

Gerrard and Huxley demonstrated there is still some distance left in those legs yet, both had fantastic games

Agreed, Gerard was a revelation last night. When he left for Japan, I thought he had been too slow and boring for years, but he answered that last night, well done!

[Hoolly Doolly]

Not surprised by gerrard at all. Him and sheps were the premier fullbacks in oz and still are imo.

[Little Ox]

Fantastic win last night, great team effort by the rebels.

Great atmosphere at the stadium last night,it was out of control, it honestly felt like there was more than 15,000 people there.

Can't wait for you all to come over here in june.
