Well, after week one of the Super Rugby season, it's obvious the Australian Conference is done and dusted.
The Brumbies have shown they are the real deal this season by blowing last years finalists off the park and putting 50 points on them. They are obviously focused on the finals already, this being evident by the steely look of determination and absolute oblivion to what else is happening around him displayed by coach Stephen Larkham when I said G'day to him today today at the Canberra Show. ( admittedly it could also be because he has no idea who I am and he had his kids with him)
The Waratahs had an easy win over the Queensland Reds, but lets face it, most teams will have an easy win over the Reds this season.
The Western Force and Melbourne Rebels continued their tradition of winning some and losing some and until they start doing one or the other consistently, no one knows what will happen there.
It might only be the second week of the season, but I'm prepared to put an early call in and state that the winners of next weeks game between the Brumbies and Tahs will decide the winners of the Australian Conference for 2016, and as the game is a t the Brumbies Fortress known as Canberra Stadium, The Waratahs are pretty much pushing **** uphill.
In other good news, while driving past Canberra Stadium in the early ours of Saturday morning, I happened to come across a discarded Brumbies members cap, which will now provide access to all sorts of members attractions at Brumbies home games.
Go the Brums!
