and another thing ,,, we dont seem to be able to read the game ( it easy from the sofa !) but against the Stormers the ref was obviously looking hard for infringements from the defending side , instead of seeing this and holding the ball and letting them get penalised we kick the ball to them and get the shit penalised out of us ,,

Nervous for Sa'aga. I've been impressed with him in recent weeks but a full 60 minutes up against Owen Franks is no easy challenge.

This is why I think we made a massive balls with our captain selection, he just does not know how to talk to refs.

His going to kill it, his been impressive and seems more than ready to step up to starting prop.

Yeah he says he's raring to go, he thinks this will be his biggest test yet.

I think his running game is seriously underrated and in the next few weeks we'll see a few more victims/speed bumps pass under him.

So lovely Melbourne weather should make the game tighter

First of all, there is no way that ball actually went forward at all, it CLEARLY did not go FORWARD.
Second, the defender knocked it out with his hand so it can't be a bloody knock on to begin with.

How are rugby referees so inept?

It's hard to believe the Rebels are in this at halftime to be honest. I don't think they have anything at all to offer in attack.

Then again, they've taken advantage of their opportunity so that's probably just as good isn't it.

If the Crusaders cut the errors (early), they should blow this game out.

theyve barely had the ball yet.

although how about that Rebels island leaguie on the wing diving horizontally at the props shins instead of even attempting a tackle haha

conversely, cantabs love their goalline stands. all that Braveheart shit, one for all etc, they lap that up with their team culture thing
ps Beavis Drummond for the All Blacks? GTFO

Kicking penalties is out of fashion eh.. A man down, straight in front, free 3 points.

Tries work too I guess.

When did this become a thing? Has every other halfback left the country?

Turning it off in boredom and frustration. Rebels have been awful. Given every chance to be in it but not getting it done. Pathetic.


Agreed. They don't look like they've trained together at all. Attack is totally flacid, ball retention is non existant, discipline is poor. They play so, so slow and deep. Without Genia there is no spark.

I'm annoyed that I can't find a stream for the Force game from here (I live in Berlin these days).

Wish I could just see Australian teams play teams of equal quality, week-in-week-out, with at least one Australian team winning in each clash.

Bring on the World Series Rugby - Super Rugby is dead (at least for Australian fans). I don't give a single fuck about SA or the Sunwolves, and I'm sick of getting walloped by New Zealand.

I can't wait for the NRC.

And before anyone asks - no - I'm not a Force fan - it's just my logo from showing my support for them when the cutting process was occurring. I'm a Tahs man.
