Simple equation Rebels fans, win and play finals. Lose and we sit in the corner and suck our collective thumbs till next February rolls around.

C'mon boys, we need this!

Clan's failure to put Bulls away has really opened the door for Tribe to crash the QF party & they're pretty confident Lurch will be ready to roll.

He's a bloody nemesis.

Rebels will be stung into action in front a a partisan 6,000 strong crowd on a cold winter night. Genia will score a solo try from 40m out, Cooper will kick 100% and our piggies will dominate the set piece.

Rebels by 11.

Carn Rebel's we wont 2 oz teams in the finals, hopefully you got your limp wristed performance out last week and you storm into the finals with a absolute grubbing of the Chiefs.

It's a simple equation - win and we're in. Surely we can get motivated for this one

Usually I'd say something about not needing motivation but sometimes I really wonder. I'll be there. God knows it'll be the last top flight rugby here until 2020

Coleman went off early and had his shoulder iced. Not sure about Maddocks. As an aside, he's looking a bit pudgy and slow compared to previous years. Probably doesn't warrant a swag to Japan at this rate

Maddog could do with a rest, I hope English and Meakes regain the early season form....the dice has been rolled. Go Rebels

Jack strikes me as naturally talented but perhaps not the hardest worker. Benching would be appropriate. Magnay has shown glimpses of tackling starch but not much else

Hard to see Rebs getting back up after the flogging in Cheechee, esp if Tribe are even half as good as in the last 60 in Suva.

Almost a completely different Rebels team with Genia back at 9. Meakes and English back in the centres helps too.

Rebs to do enough to make a semi
