    Ben Tune - battle with depression

    Wow just read the article Ben wrote, it was a no holds barred account that must have taken a huge amount of courage to write, hats off to you Ben. Just shows that the Black Dog doesn't care who you are or what you have done, it can strike anyone at anytime. I'm sure there are more stories like...

    REBELS v STORMERS RD 14

    If the Rebels play for 80 minutes and if they play rugby like they have in the past couple of weeks we could sneak a win. Eventhoigh the Stormers have lost a couple of front line players they won't rollover, they'll play hard and fast rugby and the Rebels forwards are going to need to counter...

    Kurtley in Trouble Again

    It's sad, he's a young guy in his early twenties who has to live in the public & media spotlight, any mistake no matter how minor is going to be replayed over & over. He has a problem that he needs to deal with not only for his rugby career but for the sake of his life. I hope the ARU etc...

    Kurtley in Trouble Again

    Agree, how many chances will the ARU & The Rebels give the guy? I don't understand how he can have a month on the sidelines and then be accepted back to the fold only to transgress less than a week later, what was he thinking. He could have been a great player, but I don't think he'll ever get...

    New Zealand Rugby Team Watch

    Really concerned about the AB's this year given the Super 15 results. If the Wallabies can bring their Super rugby form to the Lions Tour and then the Rugby Championship we could be a world of hurt.

    REBELS v CHIEFS Round 12

    Will be a close game, if the Rebels can play for 80 minutes then they have a good chance of winning on Friday, if they close down after 60mins like usual they'll end up coming 2nd. Looking forward to going to the rugby seems like a long time since the last home match.

    Rebels vs Kings Super Rugby R9 - Saturday April 13

    I guess at the end of the day it is only a game and given what has happened in Boston this morning puts things into perspective. As a New Zealander living in Melbourne I'm stoked that we have a rugby team in the city and that we get to see the best players in the world play rugby live. I'll be...

    New Zealand Rugby Team Watch

    I think given the RWC is 2 years away now is a good time to bring in the next bunch of All Black's, give the older guys a rest and manage their work load. I have read that McCaw is now aiming for a return through club rugby and be available for the Rugby Championship, maybe we could do that...

    George Smith - Will / Should He Play Against The Lions?

    If George Smith is the best option for Wallaby rugby at flanker then he should be picked for the team. However it is 2 years out from a World Cup and is he going to be around in 2 years time? I think it's a great opportunity to give some of the young guys, Hooper & Gill spring to mind, a crack...

    Rebels 2013

    I think the Rebels could do a whole lot worse than Robbie Deans, if he isn't reappointed with the Wallabies. You only have to look at his record with the Crusaders & the Canterbury NPC team to know he has got the coaching ability at this level.

    Rebels 2013

    First time poster, long time reading of the forum. How frustrating was the game on Saturday, the Rebels seem to lose the plot in the last 15-20 minutes. I've now into my 3rd season of frustrating rugby watching, the Rebels just don't seem to have the ability to close out games. I did make...
