Nice set of hands from the Rebels front row sees them going forward and earning a penalty before Pyle knocks on in contact. Penalty is 10 out, 10 from the touchline. Higgers elects to kick for touch, Rebels lineout, 5m from the Force line.

Nice lineout move sees the Rebels 1m and the Force desperately keep them on.

Rebels spread it, JOC (James O'Connor) drifts and holds the ball up before throwing a short pass to Kingi who goes through the gap and over the line. Try Rebels. Great play JOC (James O'Connor) and Kingi.

MMM with an AC joint maybe grade 3. How bad is that?

Known a few guys I used to play for who have done grade 2 and 3 AC joints in their shoulders. Maybe 3 - 4 weeks on the sidelines, no op needed I think. Until he gets an op it will need to be heavily taped. Unless he has a fracture, then it's not good.

JOC (James O'Connor) misses the conversion. 20 to 11 to the Rebels, 30 to go.

Weeks on, not sure for who. Think it is PAE. Saffy warming up. Phipps steals the Force's lineout, JOC (James O'Connor) kicks aimlessly to Tupou who marks and kicks back.

Rebels starting to look more settled on attack as they get some quick ball and get over the advantage line too easily. Eventually a poor pass sees the Rebels 12 (sidey?) drop the poor,

Good run and offload from Cottrell sets it up for Alby to run through the Rebels defence, but he drops it before he can link up with Mafi. But it is called back for a ruck penalty given away by Henderson.

Eberson is down, getting a lot of attention. Apparently was taken out by his own team mate, according to Clarkie.

Eberson heads off, Christie is on. Will be a straight swap. Force elect to go to touch 45 out right in front. Christie kicks the ball dead. Woeful kick.

Rebels drive the scrum forward and win a penalty on the halfway line. Force losing Longbotton for Faulkner and Rebels bringing Weeks on for PAE made a difference.

JOC (James O'Connor) lines up the penalty, right in front just over 45 out. Ball goes over the black dot.

23 to 11 Rebels up, 23 to go.

Rebels make a hash of the kick off as Higgers drops it cold.

Rebels defence all over the shop as first Mafi nearly strolls through, then it goes back to Tupou midfield and he goes over.

A grade 2 tear is 4-6 weeks on the sideline, a grade 3 tear can potentially be surgery but it varies between people, surgery can speed the rehab process in some cases. But a grade 3 tear is usually a minimum of 6 weeks, more likely 8-10.

MMM didn't appear in too much discomfort, so I'm thinking a its more likely a grade 1 or 2 tear.

Christie looks better on attack than Eberson. Christie stands a bit flatter and has a pass in front of his man. Eberson the better kicker, though.

Godwin now kicking for the Force, and he gets it from in front.

23 to 18 to the Rebels, about 20 to go.

Alcock on, not sure who is off.

Christie now kicks the ball out on the full. Rebels run it up the touchline and take it quickly.

They go down the blind side, JOC (James O'Connor) taps the ball on without catching it to Woodward who tip toes down the sideline to score. All too easy, well it looked like it.

Ref goes to the TMO for JOC (James O'Connor)'s pass.

some great decision making by woodward there (regardless of decision) he's growing with each touch this game. could be a quality prospect.

No try! Think the TMO got it right. Commentators agree.

Agree that Woodward looks promising.

Back three of the Rebels has been better than the back three of the Force, Mafi aside.

Rebels looking better with JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 instead of Roberts.

Uncontested scrums! Who is off?
