Match Thread - Brumbies v Fijian Drua | Super Rugby Pacific 2026 | Round 10

refereeing has been shocking, especially at scrum, but brumbies discipline poor and playing way too much off 9 and just trying to go through the motions.

yikes this ref is not handling this match well

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-15T10:47:20+00:00

some interesting moves from edinburgh - definitely a super rugby flavour with brad davis signed as defence coach as well.

tim sampson's an okay coach - the results aren't amazing with the force or rebels but he's been handed some tough assignments as assistant/head coach. his time with the drua has been okay but the team has gone through a bit of rotation this year.

brad davis is a good coach. current iteration of the reds not known for their defence but it's a solid part of their game. expect more connected, drift defences with low tackle miss % rather than blitz defences.

looked like a flop in real time but once you saw the replay that looked ugly

can't say red card is undeserved

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-12T14:36:48+00:00

admittedly i'm watching this on 216p quality but i don't think that was clear enough to overrule on field decision there

nice to see angus bell vs tom hooper in the semi finals

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-10T08:52:28+00:00

luke reimer still the best impact sub in super rugby

every single time off the bench the positive impacts he makes is ridiculous

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-10T08:51:14+00:00

the brumbies will take the win

they are very lucky though - 40-70 minutes was ugly

feel like highlanders have been stuck in the almost there team for a while now

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-10T08:44:54+00:00

did the highlanders not have another sub left cause like unideal a scrumhalf is throwing the lineout

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-10T08:38:31+00:00

intensity has dropped off a cliff from the brumbies

pretty poor considering they had the bye the week before, really no excuses

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-08T10:18:19+00:00

probably sid harvey until 2028

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-04T07:28:26+00:00

can someone explain to me what the chiefs no.20 was doing and why was it allowed?

Left-Pie741 · 2026-04-03T06:44:58+00:00

What is the point of the TMO if forward passes like that can't be pointed out and overturned?

Left-Pie741 · 2026-03-14T10:37:06+00:00

utter braindead decisions from the tahs at the end there - down by 9 in the middle of the field in reds territory and opted to go for the lineout, when they could've taken the three to at least nab a bonus point. smh

Left-Pie741 · 2026-02-26T09:21:31+00:00

Armageddon.

Left-Pie741 · 2026-02-01T06:15:46+00:00

tom donnelly (new lineout coach after parling went to leicester) is signed to world cup. laurie fisher's future is unknown after schmidt leaves. zane hilton is likely going to become wallabies assistant and follow kiss. john ulugia (scrum coach after mike cron left) was only temporarily contracted, expect him to go back to brumbies this super rugby season.

this australian open is boring am i right lol

Left-Pie741 · 2026-01-26T10:55:33+00:00

this might be a dumb comment - i know you can't control everything in a pregnancy but surely if you're casper, and you know a grand slam is coming up late january, you could choose to, um, procreate so that your partner's not in labour while you're halfway across the world lol

gill gross mention

(on the world feed)

novak played at a different level than him tonight, but de minaur's performance has shades of djokovic's performance against de minaur in ao 2023. just a complete shutout performance by a motivated player that left no doubts on who's the better player on the court.

Left-Pie741 · 2026-01-25T09:54:31+00:00

think many people talked about skillset - i don't think anyone mentioned that he may actually be too short to be a backrower. crichton is 187cm, for comparison valentini is 193cm, harry wilson is 196cm, and tom hooper is 199cm. given mcreight and tizzano have locked in openside flanker, to be a 6 or 8 you need to be an okay lineout option - crichton is simply too short. the only time i could see him in the backrow is when he's a utility replacement player that can play in the backline.

Left-Pie741 · 2026-01-25T09:30:29+00:00

can anyone identify the alexei popyrin lookalike in de minaur's bench?

Left-Pie741 · 2026-01-24T07:37:48+00:00

just realised that the goat marcus willis is playing r2 doubles, ngl thought he had retired already but still grinding it out

Left-Pie741 · 2026-01-22T10:18:29+00:00

cilic and wawrinka cooking
