Brumbies assistant coach Laurie Fisher has taken to social media to slam those criticising their style of play following a gritty Super Rugby win against the Blues.

The Brumbies scored three of their four tries from rolling mauls, which made hooker Folau Faingaa the Super Rugby leading try-scorer, in the 26-21 win.

Critics accused the Brumbies - once known for their expansive and creative play - of winning ugly in a time when rugby is crying out for fans.

Brumbies coach Dan McKellar said "they're all worth five points" after the game, while Fisher vented his frustration on Monday.

"Part of me wants to burr up over some of the half arsed commentary about the style of our win on Saturday but my dominant feeling is F... them," Fisher Tweeted.

Wallabies centurion and Brumbies great Matt Giteau commented on the post saying "we play the game to win" before praising the victory.
