Anyone find this Fairfax article strange? http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-match-report/gritty-rebels-burst-tahs-bubble-20130524-2k790.html?rand=1369397787079 Maybe it's just me, but it's always bugged me how shamelessly they come off as Waratahs supporters, for what's meant to be...

Yeah, it seems that way doesn't it... what "big" wins has been involved in? It was KB (Kurtley Beale) playing last year against the Crusaders when we won. I think he's only played 10 in wins against the Force. I just don't think he's great at 10...

Yep. And it's getting ridiculous how much stuff is being referred to them.

Cheetahs making every touch of the ball count. Reds looking uncharacteristically sloppy with their passes, and falling off a lot of tackles. I can't see them turning it around atm, but hopefully they'll have a better second half.

I don't mind marto. :)

I'll be back in Aus for that Brumbies game, so I'm hopeful we can at least keep it competitive... would love to be able to see a good Rebels game while I'm back home. Shame they're not playing at AAMI park :(

I watched the Vegas Sevens on NBC, and the commentary wasn't tooooooo bad (I may have been blinded by the novelty of hearing Americans use Rugby terminology) but some of the infographics they had on screen to explain the game were just flat out wrong or misleading. I'm trying to remember how...

I wish I hadn't gotten up early to see this. Unbelievably bad. The Rebels look utterly clueless.

I'm blown away how well they've done so far. All I heard pre-season was how bad they were and that the Lions beat them in the trials. They've pushed the two finalists from last year, unbelievable.

I like Huxley :(

You never know which Rebels team will show up, but I think we've used up all our luck over the last 3 weeks. I just hope it's not another away drubbing like the Brumbies.

I have a ridiculous mancrush on Delve. He just seems like a top all round bloke AND is an awesome rugby player. Will be very sad to see him go. I love that our introduction to him was this...

They need Gerrardo to hold coaching clinics for everyone.

You say this is about competence, and then start banging on with your opinion about what kind of commentary you like. I personally like that they let you know where the gaps may open up and what a team might be thinking of doing - it lets you appreciate the tactics of the game and tells you...

Our pack has improved massively over the last few weeks. Pretty surprised and happy with how they've gone. We've also stopped sucking _quite_ so much at lineouts, but both set pieces definitely still need work.

Having said that, this season's been far less embarrassing than last. Only two blow-outs so far, neither of which were as bad as last year. Sad panda I won't be around for the last few games of the season or for next year when Higgers is on board :(

What worries me is that the Force beat the Tahs and Reds, something we haven't managed, and it's always a very close game against them. I think we can do it on Sunday, but then again every time I think we can win something we lose.

I had no idea so many people who enjoyed rugby hated the commentary so much! I rate the Aussie commentary teams. A lot more interesting than NZ or SA. They do need to just let the game do the talking occasionally though, I'll agree with the people who mentioned that they tend to talk when...

Suitably worse for wear this morning after celebrating that win last night. :D

What a game tonight. Rebels played some classic rugby and did it well. The vibe at the stadium was unbelievable and really hammered home why I'm so happy we have Rugby in Victoria now. The naysayers who harp on about how we don't have the depth for 5 teams are idiots, tonight showed them how far...
