Interesting article in the Australian, copied main parts cause of paywall

Brisbane and Perth are set to battle it out for the last...
Well before Super AU started this was the prediction,
Rebels are looking for permission to stay in Sydney Friday night so they don't need to spend 8 hours travelling on game day.
With all the talk that Super rugby could be over for 2020, I went through the fixture and came up with a final 8 using the last two years results. Using most recent derby results for fixture from 2019, and most recent inter conference result for same fixture in the last two seasons. Has to be...
Battle of the battlers.
I think the Rebels could actually pinch a win here, Uelese, Jones, Magnay, To'omua all expected to be available for selection.
My team would be:
1. Gibbon
2. Rangi
3. Ainsley
4. Koegelenberg
5. Phillip
6. Wells
7. Hardwick
8. Naisarani
9. Louwrens
10. Deegan

So both team coming off a loss, expect the Saders to make the Rebels look very average unfortunately.
I would be happy to see a B team sent to Christchurch and rest players in hope that a win next week is enough.
IMPORTANT
Rebels need to win, Brumbies have pinched top spot and have the buy this weekend. Rebels played ok against the Reds but left a lot of points on the field. Win this and we deserve to play finals, lose this and we really don't deserve it.
Hope Quade Cooper passes concussion protocols, Uelese...
After two bonus points wins, this match actually has a huge bearing on the conference and finals.
The Rebels are currently 7 points clear of the Tahs. This week the Tahs have a bye so a win here could mover them to 11/12 points clear at the half way point of the season and heading into the...
Well this one scares me, the Sunwolves have been good this year. Not consistent though. Hoping the Rebels string another performance like last week together and really cement there position at the top of the table.
Well this one is even tougher than expected.
When you got games in SA you think the ARU would want everything to be done in the players best interest. Well not for the Rebels, they decided to have a Wallabies camp instead, so instead of the Rebels players arriving together on possibly Sunday...
The weirdest fixture in Super Rugby, Rebels will be playing just there third match of the year against the Brumbies who they have already played.
Should be a interesting game, think the Brumbies will be looking to redeem themselves after a poor result on the weekend and the round two lose.
Anyone heard of any fixtures yet?
I know the Wallabies are going to be in Melbourne in August and wonder who they are playing.
SATURDAY 10TH AUGUST
South Africa vArgentina
Italy v Ireland
SUNDAY 11TH AUGUST
Wales v England
SATURDAY 17TH AUGUST
New Zealand v Australia
South Africa v Argentina...
Woo Hoo
Season finally starts now.
First home game of the year against a possible inform Highlanders team, hard to tell after two weeks who is inform on not. The highlanders only just managed to scrape past the Chiefs who were than destroyed by the Brumbies. So lets go with that form and...
Round 1 is here,
About time, although I hate getting an away fixture 1st up. Worse when you have the bye round 2.
This really is a interesting match up, both teams will be looking to start the season on the right foot and only have a few weeks before the next match up. This could become a...
This is a interesting one, Highlanders currently sit in 6th spot and the Rebels in 8th.
Rebels need to win to secure a final spot and not have to worry about the Sharks v Jaguar's game. Ideal for the Rebels is a win and a Sharks win to secure 7th and a possible trip to Sydney instead of...
Time for a win at Eden Park. But in all honestly have the Blues have not won at home this season. 3 Wins have all been on the road. They will be looking at this as a game they should win but we all know with the Blues it's about which team shows up on the day.
Rebels still have a lot to work...
