Unfortunately, due to other commitments, I got there with 20 minutes left so can only say the Rebels ran away in that time. Hoping they provide a match report.

The World Cup must be slightly blipping the radar down here. https://www.theage.com.au/national/...n-love-with-aussie-rules-20230915-p5e52e.html
So needy.

Was close for the first 20 minutes, Axemen really up for it, but once the Rebels started winning the race at the breakdown they ran away with it.
New winger (Lancaster I think) was knocked out by a collision at around the 20 minute mark, other than that no injuries that stood out.

That's a concern about Lancaster.
Was awesome at the u20 WC but also had some concussion issues if I recall.

Anderson and McMahon aside 7s hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us: lots of injury issues from the boys we've brought through.
I'm still not too worried about back 3 even with Pincus's horrible history and Darby and concussions. G Vaihu seemed to have a very good QPR season, Dauganu is a good pick up, if needed Strachan can probably play full back and Kells can play wing.

Give it a few years and we could have a full pack of local forwards

Quantity doesn’t necessarily equal quality. It may be less popular but I’ll take Rugby any day.

Anyone know how clubs fund trips like this? Would Kintetsu be chipping in for accom or flights?

Very interesting that Luke Callan is in the squad. Thought he’d be a solid pick to remain at Force

Kintetsu one of major sponsors, so would think they supplying some but guess Rebels would have some associated costs

So, train ons are:
Finau-Vea and Nabolakasi, both loose forwards? from the Axemen
Luke Callan, the "ex" - Force lock, and
Fainga'anuku, Ex Moana Pasifika, NZ-Sevens, and Tonga international
Anything I missed or got wrong?
