Hope springs eternal in Brumbyland.
This morning they’ve launched their 2012 season membership packages with a swishy video.
Here’s hoping 2012 will bring an improvement!

Following on from this morning’s consternation amongst Brumbies fans, that new Coach Jake White might want to head off for the bright lights of the Springboks, we have a statement by the Brumbies on the subject:

The Sydney Morning Herald has the deeply upsetting news for Brumbies fans.

There are so many cool things about going to a Brumbies game it’s not entirely sure why they went with [...]

Last week we became alarmed by Nine’s abysmal coverage of the Rugby World Cup. The ABC’s Drum site has gone so far as to compare Nine’s behaviour to the phone hacking scandal in terms of the scope of the outrage.

But what [...]

The Canberra Times brings word that former Brumbies and Wallabies legend (and now Civic restauranteur) Jeremy Paul is going to be on 7 tonight as part of Dinner Date Austalia (7.30pm).
Interestingly he also takes time to dismiss rumours he and Fiona Wright are an item.

Normally we yield to no one in boosting Brumbies players on the international stage.
But it goes to the heart of the Brumbies woes that today’s announcement of the Wallabies squad to play in the world cup saw two Brumbies players snubbed, and they thoroughly deserved it.
James Horwill has been named our Captain over Rocky Elsom [...]

This in from the Brumbies:
Best Back: PATRICK MCCABE
Despite being one of team’s youngest members Pat McCabe has developed into a leader in the CA Technologies Brumbies backline. In 2011, McCabe filled positions at fullback, inside centre and on the wing, providing a clear insight into his versatility and ability to learn fast. (2010 winner – [...]

Foxsports have the ugly news of Waratah triumph over the ACT’s Brumbies.
The game was a reflection of the whole season.
Ambition beyond ability, good work undermined by momentary lapses, humiliation, and then a little glimmer of hope just at the end.

The Brumbies have announced their side to take on NSW in Sydney this Saturday night.
If they win this one it will go a long way to appeasing disgruntled fans, indeed it’s probably going to be worth many hundreds of season ticket renewals.

Totally worth it.
