41 degrees in the shade if there was any !

 

[I like to watch]

And no sea breeze apparently.

Heard the Rebels boys on their telecast,at kickoff,41 on the dot.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Heard of the odd game being played in Canberra at 41 degrees.

That was 41 degrees Fahrenheit though.

Hope there is plenty of gatorade present for the players, and McLaren Vale Ales for the spectators.

Rebels lead 33-21 at the end of the third quarter, with three tries in the 3rd.

Tough conditions for a first trial, hopefully no serious injuries today. Looking forward to the Tahs playing at home next week. A report from anyone at the game ?

This is all you need to know if you are a Tahs supporter

As a devout rebels fan I won't read too much into the shoreline......

But.......tahs fan get used to this scoreline against the rebels

How did all the new and varied combos look out there? I'm especially interested in the forward pack (front row and flankers).

Think they al deserve another swim in the Murray after playing in that heat.

In other news Box Hill won the 10s tournament that took place before the event.

Wonder what to make of that. Good for the grass routes though!

I always knew box hill had it in them. Next stop, dewar shield and the bill bailey blazer hanging back in the club rooms.

Good on em, they'll need to be competitive this year to stay in Prems.

That or find a better ground to host the grand final. Nothing that really matches it for facilities, ground quality and parking.

Was there an Under 20 trial between NSW and Victoria?

I think it was between Warringah (a NSW club), SA, and Vic. I could be wrong.

I can't find anything on it but it must have been a busy day with the U20s, club invitational 10s, and Super Rugby trial.

Edit: the twitter says the Rebels U20s lost to Warringah 0-5 in a game of 2 twenty minute halves, and beat SA 15-0 in a game of the same length.

 

[Pete King]

match report anywhere on this trial?

How did Steve Hoiles go? He deserves to be back at this level - still has a lot to offer IMO.

 

[BDA]

Nice to see some of the returning players score tries (higgers/hoiles)

 

[Inside Shoulder]

I wonder how much you can get out of a trial played in those conditions - from a tahs point of view.
The Rebels earned bragging rights.
