Yes, both SA games are 3:30am kick offs.

Still a really good chance to puck up a couple of wins. Sharks have not been that impressive from the little bit I have seen. Our backrow issues may jump out and bite us here.

Colbys absence was really not what we needed. Timani brain snap could not have come at a more costly time.

1 from 2 could put us on the right path to finish the season strong, hopefully ending the season away from the bottle of the conference.

I reckon, for the Rebels fans, they've already hit the bottle quite hard. Predictive text is one of the curses of the modern age.

I'm guessing that Schatz will start at 6 with one of Tupai, Sinclair or Miller in the backrow and one on the bench.

17 year old, Esei Haangana might get a cap at lock.

We're pretty light on this week.

The rebound from hitting the bottle, sorry, bottom, and the huge lift post-Brumbies win is going to shoot us step by step back up the Oz conference ladder. Rebels to make Flake out of the Sharks by 10.

I'm predicting* we will finish the year 3rd in the Oz conference, behind the Tahs and Brumbies.

Yup, I said it. Game on, mofo's.



*I have almost no form in my prognostications, ever. So trust me at your peril. But this time I'm farkin' right.

So just reading some SA articles, and the Sharks can go get stuffed now. Bonus point hunting etc. They may be 5-2 this season but they still lost to the Reds.

Don't Sharks know what happens when they attack the wrong Aussie

Revels v Sharks and at the same time, Sunwovles v Highlanders, so the board could reshuffle, according to the standings, 18 plays 7 and 17 plays 9, so both games are a similar standing, although, in my mind, Highlanders play a tougher game, so expect their point differential to blow out more than ours.

Targeting the Kings game !
Perhaps but, TT might be thinking he needs some experienced bench cover with Chibba and Weeks. The other five benchies only have a handful of games between them.

Slightly disappointed that Tupai wasn't given first crack before Sinclair.

Edit: six benchies #mathsfail

agree about bench and so am i re Tupai

OTOH, TT may well have thought that since that front row won a scrum penalty last week that they get to start this week.

So was just reading the Sharks preview, how they do rugby different in SA.

Match day schedule

13h00 Parking Gates Open
13h15 Turnstiles Open
13h30 Crawford La Lucia vs. Curro Hillcrest
15h00 St Henry’s vs. Ashton College
17h00 Sharks XV vs Griquas
19h30 CELL C SHARKS vs REBELS

Wish they would play some good games before our games. Also having them finish closer to kick off helps.

This must be the worst game of the season so far in its entirety.
Have to agree it was absolutely dire.
Rebels really threw away a very rare opportunity to win against a 14 man team
I'm afraid nothing to celebrate in this other than can we keep Will Miller forever
What a gun

Why did the Rebels winger at the end not try to chip kick the ball?

He seemed to accept the tackle. I wonder if he just simply cant kick?
