RD 16: Rebels v Tahs

still think the best centre pairing for the Rebels is Meakes/English. I'd play Hodge on the wing with a roving commission.

Certainly Meakes combines the best with Quade.

This side should dispose of the Tahs, we shall see on Friday.

Good looking team. Hopefully this rain buggers off by Friday. If we keep Hooper out of the game we should get the biscuits.

A win will also mean we could see a few changes for the Crusaders game.

The Rebels team minus the front row is a pretty solid looking Wallabies line up. Golden back line.

Interesting Uelese is not getting game time. Maybe the logic is Uelese will get more experience playing SS than 10 minutes off the bench.

Roach and Rangi are in form such that if both are fit, they need to be in the team: particularly with finals on the line: lose and I think Uelese will come in per Wallabies request, until then, go for the fit blokes in the form to win you games.

Every time Meakes has been benched this season the Rebs backline has been average at best. I wonder if this is a directive from Cheik to give To'omua time at 12?

Yep, Meakes can consider himself unlucky but our backline defence is better with Hodge at 13. Attack is not as Fluid but is getting better

I've come to assume Tahs win this fixture and suspect the players on both sides do too.

Rebs are aching for a performance where everything clicks and finally puts these bastards to the sword

I want the Weary Dunlop Shield back home. would love the team to do a tour around the ground with it if they manage to win.

I know we're all in the "professional era" and players prepare with their Visualisation and Mindset Optimisation Coach or whatever, but I really wish there's a bit of a 'we fuggen hate this mob!' vibe to this fixture.

Don't need to go the biff or anything silly, but whack the buggers with some proper sting and venom

As a Tahs fan I hope that the Rebels decision to not rest concussed Genia makes Harrison Goddard further consider leaving the Rebels and coming home to the Tahs next year. Would be the perfect signing to add to Gordon and Short as the 3 halfbacks.

Just remember even if the Rebels are up at half time that there is a long way to go in the match.

Here are the examples of the Rebels leading well at half time and losing v Tahs:
Round 10, 2019 at SCG Half time Rebels 20-7 Full time Waratahs 23-20
Round 5, 2018 at Allianz Half time Rebels 20-10 Full time Waratahs 51-27
Round 5, 2017 at AAMI Half time Rebels 25-6 Full time Waratahs 32-25

So what you are saying is that the Wallabies at 7/13 in a provincial competition? :rolleyes:
