Super Rugby RD 9 Rebels v Brumbies

so kicking to the corner and going for a try off a lineout is far less then 50/50 option

I was being generous

And should add that the Rebels are statistically the worst Australian team to score points off a line out, from memory they tried 3 times that game and came away with 0 points, so kicking to the corner and going for a try off a lineout is far less then 50/50 option

Yep. We've got Hosea who's a gun at the lineout, but the other catchers we undersized compared to the Brumbies' tall men

We are not too flash scoring off a scrum either so that option, even with the way we were dominating that part of the game
, didn't appeal to me. No, I thought taking the certain 3 points was the right move. If it wasn't, why were the Brumbies trying for a drop goal at the other end just after to make it safe? They were obviously feeling that pressure and totally bottled it.

Watching Valentini smash blokes in the 75min was a thing of beauty. He has really stepped up his impact this year, and great to see him sustain it over the whole 80mins.

He was frightening to watch
