Super Round 2, 2018 - Rebels V Reds @ AAMI Park

[Strewthcobber]

Nabuli very lucky two or three times now with tackling in the air. My money is on him going to the bin next

 

[Up the Guts]

I was told the standard of Australian Super Rugby would be better with only 4 teams...

 

[lou75]

14-14

Yes Cyclo, but that one team is kind of asking for it.

I was just injecting some Shiggins to this thread, it seemed to need it. Reds playing some dumb footy, Rebels looked a bit anaemic in attack until the 2 man advantage.

Why not. Hell, Brisbane 7s v Rebels.

 

[TOCC]

I’m excited to see how else the Ref can gift the Rebels points

Hahaha! Tonight I think, uncharacteristically that TOCC holds the outrage cue. ;-)

Genia is being beaten up tonight - by both teams.

Class above everyone else out there though

24-14 to rebels with try to DHP

26-14 with the conversion

Kerevi hasn't made a dramatic improvement in his defence over the off season has he?

He's even channelling Shiggins' unique grammatical flair.

No. Positionally suspect and leading with shoulders / high. Risk level - high. Attacking threat though.

Gees after watching highlanders vs blues and seeing skills at another level - all I can think of is watching this game is we are in for even more pain against nz sides of this is the best our super rugby sides can offer

 

[Simon.]

Yeah Genia's been incredible. Even his box kicks are on point - formerly the part of his game that made the Reds fans pull their hair out.

A few consolations for the Reds - BPA has been involved in everything, and their defence has actually held up pretty well for playing 30 minutes with 14 men and 10 minutes with 13.

I expect the score to blow out in the second half though.

Haha... very true!

SO HT. We (Reds) are running a man down for most the match. The RC was not deserved, but there possibly should have been a RC shortly later. Poetic justice kind of.

Reds attitude shows through (well done Brad) to the point that the Rebels are rattled EVEN when two men up.

But the Brad attitude comes with risk (shit job Brad) and that is where we (Reds) sit.

Think the Reds scrum is better, but the Rebels have shown they can turn that if they really want to.

Wessels will not be happy. Brad deserves the kick he is about to give to the Reds.

 

[biggsy]

If you want to know how the Australian teams will go this year, hope you didn’t watch the Blues v highlanders game before hand

 

[Ash]

I get the feeling that the Rebels are going to blow the Reds out after the half.
