Ambushed us that night, you did. Won't happen again (I hope )

Jacko & George, this could be fun..................

 

[ACT Crusader]

Referee: Glen Jackson

waiopehu, the above might help the Rebels....

 

[James Pettifer]

Remember that as the moment I realised that Mortlock was really at the end of his career. Still knew where to be and when but didn't have the (or any) pace.

Given I can't make the final game (against the Jaguars), this could be my last Rebels game (depending on the ARU of course) and if that is the case, I doubt whether I'll be going to many Wallabies games in future. Maybe I'll get into the Rising but if not, this could be my last Rugby game for a long while.

Possibly, but I'm more worried about George than Jacko........

Best starting XV the Rebels have had in over a year, bench is still a worry tho. Just wish we had Day at 4 and Debreczini at either 10/15 and thats a very good 'Australian conference' quality team.

Crusaders by 20 haha

 

[KevinO]

Don't agree with Stirzaker walking straight back into the starting line up. Would have kept Inman at insode and started Hodge FB as well.

[swingpass]

almost our best 23, but agree with KevinO, wouldn't have either Stirzaker or Volvola starting

Quick question: for all you gold members, is this one of the matches we get to attend the post match function?

The realisation just hit me today that this could be Rebels second last game at AAMI Park.

I was also thinking wouldn't it be great if we could cause a massive upset. The Lions would certainly like that to happen. Probably living in a fantasy world.

Timani out everyone else seems to be there

You are

its outragous that the crusaders have some aussie players in their team, the aussie teams must have the selection blinkers on hard

 

[Highlander35]

Why the fuck is one of the Worst NZ refs in control of a game between an Aussie side and Kiwi one.

Missed a few in the sides and in the touch from the Saders already

And a try directly results from the most obvious obstruction.

Absolutely useless

Can Jackson inform the Rebels that we're playing Gridiron and not just the Saders?

I genuinely do not understand why Glen Jackson still gets approved to ref at this level.

In 10 seasons of watching Super Rugby, I have never, ever seen anything from to suggest he shouldn't be Reffing 3rd Colts down in deep Country NZ

The worst thing is, the Crusaders clearly don't need any help here, but Jackson is basically letting them do anything they want.

At least three tries from obvious forward passes. Fucking shithouse. But, looove the Koroibete try.
