    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    just noticed there is nothing in that article about the second half try saving tackle from Smith - worthy of a mention!

    Really, 'cos my observation was that it was kicking the penalty that put the Brumbies in a position to score the try. Had the Bulls gone to the line a fourth time, would the Brumbies have scored the length of the field? It is a possession game and the Bulls gave them the ball to play with.

    Agreed - that's what I thought their plan was.

    The drop goal attempt just confused me though...

    Yep, the kicks before they could have gone for to increase the lead, but kicking to get a 4 point advantage in the final 5 minutes is the sort of decision the Force tend to make - taking your foot off the opponents throat when you've got them pinned and (almost) beaten.
