Fucken Rob Simmons. Jesus

Heading out to Quins now, I agree with pablo, think the Rams will be too strong today. No one has really matched Harlequins out wide this year, but Moorabbin have the back line to roll the this afternoon. Just hoping the weather can hold. Power House will be wanting to stay up with Melbourne and...

Yeah he would have to be the best half in the comp. Added to the fact that the pack on the weekend was getting dusted for all eighty minutes

Quins totally rolled the doggies in the second half on Saturday. LJ came on at 10, pushing Valetini out wider and together they just cut holes in the defence. Probably the best half of attacking footy I have seen in the comp this year. Bulldogs had no answers. Halfback Yamada was Footscray's...

Source: Rebels twitter feed. Between JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale more than likely off to Thaland, there will be a bit more wiggle room under the cap. Do we chase Izzy, who Melbournians all know and many love? Would have loved to have seen Sam Lane down here until his knee went a second time. Getting...

Goodbye JOC (James O'Connor). Rebels decline new O'Connor's contract.

Not in SD.

Wonderful tense game. There may have been a bit of dropped ball but was just so happy to get the win. Poor old Vunipola is surely on the pine next week. The better half thought she could see my hair greying in front of her eyes. Roll on Sydney.

Did not get to see it unfortunately.

Melbourne 29 def Quins 8

Cracking test match. Can't wait for the square up on Saturday. Puzzled as to why Barned wasn't goal kicking in the first half? I would have thought it was half the reason he was in the side. His kicking in general play was ordinary and Beale to start next week. Mowen was excellent, along with...

Touching down in Brisbane at midday. Hit the RE for lunch and then Sylvan Rd to watch the doggies. Caxton St, then put the Lions to slaughter. Can't bloody wait!

For those headed down next week for the Melbourne leg of the tour, the Mitre in Bank Place off Collins will no doubt be a sea of Red. Great spot for a pint with the visiting fans on match day (for the test at least). Chock a block full of Welsh fans last year. Otherwise the Turf Bar on Queen St...

The Imperial Hotel in Melbourne will be hosting a lions themed version on June 26th, the evening after the Rebels' match. John Muggleton, Matt Cockbain and Jarrod Saffy will be in attendance along with former Welsh winger Shane Williams and former Ospreys and now Bristol coach Sean Holley...

Cruze starts for Footscray in round 5

Send off really cost Melbourne. Their forward pack was driving Quins back easily in the opening half hour. Changed dramatically when the number eight went off
