Blues v Brumbies

I really like Funaki, he’s a little energiser bunny, with a nice quick pass.
Not sure where both the Blues and ABs obsession with the little ginga comes from, but I rate Funaki as a much better player.

Could not agree more

That will help the Canes next week, thanks Slipper. Hope McWhannell is all good.

It was pretty blinding obvious that he was going to be an improvement over completely shart the bed with selections and tactics McDonald.
Being an improvement was a lay down misère, having the Blues play this style this well is something else.

The only reason McDonald didn't get proper criticism is because the bar for improvement was so low when he took over.
The reality is he couldn't manage to get the team to perform anywhere close to their potential against the top 3 sides (with the sole exception of 2022, the year Schmidt effectively ran the show).

Brumbies collapsed that. Should be a PT and another YC.

I constantly criticised his coaching and selections. I think some people were just pleased it wasn't Tana or JK bad.

Farcical by the Brumbies. Funaki scores
-
Lonergan's a bit shit isn't he?
-
Well deserved try by Funaki, the Blues look so much more threatening at 9 compared to old mate Christie.
-
Brumbies 20 is lucky Riccitelli scored that, or he could be sitting on the sideline too. Clearly changed bind and came from offside.
-
McWhannell played well. He is having a good season.
@Old-Samurai-Jack surely on the radar for Ryan and Robertson.
-
That's all Lam's fault.
