That last yellow was ridiculous.
Apparently a high shot. Didn't look so from my seats.

When do the Rebels get to play a Kiwi team next? Reckon they'd give even Canterbury a good shake.

As some people have said earlier, Rebels starting to look NZer in the way the play. Cynical penalties at the right moments, but also seem to score a few 'lucky' tries. Just like NZ, the harder you work the luckier you are.
Coleman tonight finally put in a gold performance. Deadly in the lineout. On that, what does Rangi have to do be a wallaby. Operating one of the best lineouts in the comp with great accuracy and a cannonball on legs. Best aussie rake by a mile at the moment.
Jones went very well too, Coleman and his lineout defence is great. Wallaby form backrow looks like Jones, Hooper, Naisarani.
Similar to last year, Rebels have cooked a handful of scoring opportunities each match, difference is this year they score 4 tries as well as butcher 4.
Quade desperately needs to work on his clearance kicks.

Side note of appreciation: when Genia scored his try (which was vintage from him), he scored it just in front of the stand I was sitting in. Everyone was on their feet, pretty euphoric, typical stadium reaction to a dominant performance. But a rare feeling in Melbourne for a rugby fan. So after the whole Force cockup, I'm pretty appreciative that I have a team to support and watch, especially one that is doing so well. It's not lost on the fans.
What's more, Willy G looked so pumped up to score in front of his home crowd, looks like he's really enjoying his rugby and is in a good place literally and figuratively.
Also took this photo on my shitty phone camera just as I was arriving at the game. Great night.

True Reg, but Quade is also playing better not just because of Genia but Meakes too. It’s a different combination entirely to Quade- Digby but a similar strength. Some of Quade’s plays are being called from outside. It’s not JUST Billy trying his luck off Quade’s hips.

Rebs should comfortably beat Canterbury given one plays Super Rugby & the other Mitre 10 Cup.......
Or if it's the CruSadists you mean, bear in mind that there's a large contingent of Tasman players in their roster these days.

You know what I meant, and, in my defence, they used to be called the Canterbury Crusaders.

Billy Meakes to face the SANZAAR Wheel of Misfortune™ for his dangerous hit

Nothing wrong with that. Personally I think it will be fine.
