Super Rugby Round Three: Rebels v Cheetahs, Friday 28 Feb, AAMI Park

[Ash]

Cheetahs' maul has caused the Rebels a few problems tonight.

Clarkie claiming it is game on, but I don't see it. Goosen has found his goal kicking boots though.

 

[Ash]

When did Colby get on?

 

[ChargerWA]

Tamati Ellison to be the recruitment of the year along with Turner at the Reds.

 

[FilthRugby]

@bruce ross, you aren't a fan of Rod Kafer?

 

[Ash]

Ellison has been HUGE value for the Rebels tonight. Good penalty.

Taking the shot is a good call - eat up 2 minutes either way, kick it and the game is over.

 

[Bullrush]

bloody hell....it's not 'Tah-maaaah-tee'...its not that flipping hard to pronounce properly...

DID ANYONE SEE THE HEADBUTT??

 

[Dave Beat]

They will need to look at their body height as the season progresses

 

[Ash]

Drop goal Roberts, looked a set move. Or at least it looked pretty well practised.

27 - 14, 4 to go.

 

[FilthRugby]

Ben Meehan on from Sunnybank up here in Brisbane.

With two Boks in the Front-row, the Cheetahs scrum has been battered tonight.

Tom English on the wing has been good. Good pace and fend.

Hugh Pyle over for a meat pie!

 

[Ash]

Why did English not go for the corner?

 

[Ash]

Knock on from Higgers, no try?

 

[ChargerWA]

Looked backwards off Higgers to me, but a push over try will be a better way to finish.

 

[Ash]

Yup.

What headbutt?

 

[ChargerWA]

Why did English not go for the corner?

Hasn't quite got that killer instinct.

 

[qwerty51]

Yup.

What headbutt?

Just before the drop goal, 5m line.

 

[Ash]

PAE and Lahiff look a powerfully built set of bookends.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

I like the way the Rebels are playing, quite a good performance across the park. Disappointing from the Cheetahs, they can definitely play much better than this.

 

[ChargerWA]

Well that's 0 from 2 in the tipping.

 

[Ash]

Shot at goal is an interesting call, very Giteau-like! No wonder Kafe is a fan of that decision.
