Friday 8th May, Rebels v Blues @ AAMI Park

[qwerty51]

Think the Blues will get this one, similar to how they smashed the Farce last year.

 

[elementfreak]

Rebs should stomp the Blues.

But part of me gets the feeling they'll find a way to fuck it up.

You sure you're not a Rebels supporter? I am often surprised when we win, even if we are firm favourites to do so.

And this is why I don't read the hearld sun, copied off a friends facebook. Will would have the most mobile forward pack.

^^^^ The battle of the Princesses will be thunderously slow.

 

[Braveheart81]

Luke Jones and Mitch Inman seem pretty like for like replacements in this scenario

^^^^ The battle of the Princesses will be thunderously slow.

except for when Toby Smith chimes in from fullback and puts a step on Angus Ta'avoa

 

[elementfreak]

Lopeti charging down the wing is stuff of nightmares!

 

[zer0]

A shame that the Blues can't field Faumuina and Afoa.

Faumuina's step seems to have been removed, unfortunately.

 

[Baldric]

Hope its a Rebels win. I need to see Dismal go orf again.

 

[oztimmay]

Has someone made Dismal an avatar bet yet?

 

[Tex]

Step up Oz

 

[oztimmay]

I'm not that mad...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Game on.

Aussie Mike opens the Rebels account with an early PK.

Rebels 3 Blues 0 after 6 minutes.

Awesome defence from the Rebels. How did the Blues not score there?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Great support play from C Faiinga rewarded with a meat pie.

Aussie Mike misses conversion so its now Rebels 8 Blues 0 after 12 minutes.

 

[Ash]

Fainga'a has had a huge game so far, two forced penalties from turnovers and that breakout try.

Rebels are kicking away too much ball for my liking, Blues with nearly all of the play in the first 20.

 

[Ash]

Fainga'a with a clean break then a strong run.

Rebels a bit messy there a try on the offing.

 

[FrankLind]

What a try - holy shit.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

What a set up for that try from the Blues?

Old Man River nails it. That will be on some highlight reels very soon.

Ihaia West adds the bonus points to make the score Rebels 8 Blues 7 after 30 minutes.

 

[Ash]

Blues with an insane try, Saili and Mealamu brilliance.

 

[Highlander35]

Yeah, will concede that one every day of the week,
