Rd 9: Rebels v Stormers - Fri 12th @7:45pm

[Dctarget]

I think Koroibete goes to the bench before Hodge.

 

[mexiwi]

Tendonitis in the knee for Jack and Anaru Rangi rolled an ankle.

 

[jimmydubs]

I know you guys are in a rugby bubble down there, but he actually played a fair bit of rugby last year.

Dont think hes part of the wallabies rest/rota policy though is he?

Probably needs to play and kick arse every week to secure a ticket to japan

[Pone's Mullet]

No, I was just referring to the Tigers' form this season. Not making the finals will free Matt up sooner? No?

I reckon they'll might keep hold if To'omua whilst there is still a threat of relegation

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

He stank it up at 15 last game maybe they will just want to shift him.

 

[Tex]

Will be good to see Tupou get a run on the wing and to see how Hardwick goes as the inside back reserve.

Lots of pick and drive.

 

[KevinO]

Great conditions for rugby

 

[dru]

Stormers are playing very well here. Still get the feeling that Rebels will ultimately roll them, but the Stormers hve the smartest strategy against the Rebels I have seen so far.

I'm not as optimistic as you. Rebels look inept. Only in this game due to some very 50/50 calls by the ref.

Stormers are being clever for sure.

 

[dru]

Stormers showing how you get in the face of a flat attack. It's impressive.

Can't see why, but Genia's service is a crucial second slower than normal.

 

[dru]

Tupou really!

 

[Dctarget]

Poor Tupou, kicking himself for that dropped try. Can't ask for a better kick.

 

[dru]

Crucial 10 mins before the break.

 

[dru]

Awesome scrum rebels. Sam, you beauty!

 

[dru]

Slow ball.

 

[Dctarget]

Credit to the Stormers defense. But boring play by the Rebels. Missing Cannonball Rangi.

 

[Shaker]

Stormers defence was been superb. Hopefully they can hold strong for the full 80.

We’ll do them on fitness in the second half.
