Oh, man.

You know, I've had my question marks all year and I've cocked some flack for that.

And I said it last week, you know, like I was talking with Stephen Bates and he was sort of saying, man, you can't count the Brumbies off.

And I was like, look, I totally get that.

On their day in Canberra, they are a very hard side to beat.

But every time, they'll beat the Chiefs.

but then drop a game against the Drua.

And they had 14 entries for four scores.

There was one point where they could have just reached out, but then they tried to... I can't think of the winger.

I can't think of his name, but he pops it up to Meredith, and Meredith doesn't catch it, and the Drua nearly go the distance.

And I thought they lost the aerial battle.

If you look at all their tries, it was like tap backs from them.

They're putting contestables up and the drew just in that better, you know how we're talking about that 12 o'clock, six o'clock, three o'clock, nine o'clock positioning.

The draw just did that so well.

It's like they were like, yeah, you guys can do your contestables.

We're just going to wait for you to tap it to us.

And they just took advantage of it.

Mata Eli was extremely good, but I just think the draw were,

better coached tactically.

They went in with a plan.
