Brumbies pack should take care of the Rebels pack fairly comfortably.
Rebels have the edge at 9/10
Brumbies 11-15 should have the edge over the Rebels, although both sets are fairly decent.
Brums by 10-15

Of course, but the Brumbies have four Super Rugby quality locks who are all healthy and only three will ever play each week.
Pray for an injury, then no one will have to be left out.

Rebels still no sponsor.. that’s a quarter of their home games done for 2018, the longer it drags on the more the value falls

It's a real wasted opportunity, you'd think they would've been better off giving each of these 'clean skin' weeks to a different charity and at least getting some good publicity out of it

And it has been at least 2 days since the sponsor was talked about and deleted. The more this gets posted, the more boring things get and the more Daz has to delete ....

Don’t confuse why the sponsor chat was deleted, it was because people were arguing the semantics of the time frame mentioned...
There is nothing wrong with asking, or discussing the Rebels sponsorship situation, regardless of how much you may not like the current situation.. it’s a major issue and deserves to be discussed

Exactly, I am beginning to think that Jamie from NSW is a bit of a troll - two weeks after the supossed sponsorship signing and no announcement today - the day of the game - the day of the big lunch at the big end of town (Australian Club) but nothing to say about Revenue streams. Very perplexing

Or have each of the players get their Melbourne club's logo on their chest, help promote that link between the professional and the club game and let any kids watching who aren't playing yet see where they can follow their heroes.

Good test next week against the Tahs in Sydney. Really looking forward to it

The Brumbies are no worse then last year (on paper) in fact some would argue they are better (with poey at least) however what is most telling is that DEPTH talks. On paper, and on the field, the Rebels were the better team in the last 20 minutes.
Bench players that were quality performers last season (like Saaga, Rangi, Talakai & RHP), have bolstered the new starters of the rebels (ainsley, faulkner, uelese, coleman, philip), with experienced campaigners Daley & Weeks, the best enforcer dup of Timani & Mafi, the best selection of mobile backrowers (plural - none individually a hooper, but again, depth!) to start with AND finish with Fainga'a, hardwick & cottrell - it's just ridiculous. This team IMO is the only Aussie or SA team that doesn't lose anything when the bench comes on. With Genia now being backed up by Ruru (what a duo!), to always direct the backs with guys like DHP, Koroibete, Naivalu, Maddocks having to share! jeeeeez.
The Reds, Tahs and Brumbies are not weaker then they were last year - but the rebels are so much stronger. Maybe this 4 team thing had a point. Not quite what was expected but with 3 teams no worse, the best players rehomed, and our weakest team now very very solid, not the start I was fearing. But let's see what happens against NZ teams...

That Rebels bench really did come on and blow the game apart.
Fainga'a’s first involvement in the game, BD steal/penalty post Brumbies L/O. After Hodge’s second Koroibete defensive pressure causes the ball to spill Talakai scrambles and keeps the ball alive, Maddocks runs 60 to score. Last try of the game comes from another BD turnover, Hardwick picks and shoots down the field finished off by Ruru. Energy and quality from the bench put the game to bed. Job definitely well done.
What’s crazy is that someone is going to miss out next week with the return of Coleman and Parling (Concussion). Who loses out? Insane.

Hi All
Sorry I have been away on A/L and just came to the board and saw my name being mentioned about the sponsor. All I did was copy the original post by Kevin and commented "Great News" the original pots was made by Kevin I believe. Anyway I hope it comes to fruition as I like to see all Super Sides with a main sponsor. Ps: I do go for Tahs.
