Good news for the Rebels and Congrats to Colby.

"The Rebels are hoping for a boost ahead of the second-leg of their tour with an expected return of Colby Fainga’a, following the safe arrival of his new daughter, Dominic Day, Toby Smith and Marika Koroibete, who was a late withdrawal on Saturday with a back injury."

We have been improving week in and week out and I can tell you that this will not be our last win. We have plenty more games left in this competition, and we will win a few of those. I can tell you that.

The message from the Kings' captain.

Arrogant yet admirable.

If I was in his position I'd be telling everyone exactly the same thing. They have nothing to lose and certainly look to be enjoying their rugby more than the Shorks.

I reckon their next win will come this weekend.

Based on SM posts, Don Day is currently in SA. I'd expect him to play, perhaps with Cummins off the bench.

If the Kings didn't believe they could win then they wouldn't be professionals.

They've got a solid 10, a brutal forward back willing to do hard stuff, and an incredibly exciting back 3. Not enough to win a lot of games, but some.

Hopefully the Rebs get up.

What a mess of a rolling sentence! In all fairness, journalists are on tight deadlines nowadays.

If the starters can keep it to a tight contest, then our bench is more than capable to come on and win. Our bench pack is better than the starting one!

If the Rebels don't think they can win this I would be just as worried. The Kings did the travel this week so they should be the side to struggle late in the game. 4 international capped forwards on the bench to finish the game for the Rebels.

Will be very dissapointed if we don't win.
