Well. Well done rebels. Real shame they didn't try to get the force in the finals. After a rollercoaster of a week the force did really well to give them selfs a chance. No way they would have been able to travel to Auckland and be competitive after all the games and travel in the last week I guess.
I would love to know who made the call not to go for the try ? Tamooa didn't seem happy about it.

Well done rebels good win. Just need to tighthen up defence and can go much further next season. Pleased to see rebels and force finish this season well.

I think right one has rebels need to make sure secure the win and keeping back in play risked them losing as already won the game. The rebels have to ensure they win the game first and foremost.

The highlanders would not have tried to run the length of the field if they stole the lineout-they would have just kicked it out,,they had secured their spot in the finals

As a neutral supporter this was a cracker of a game. Honestly after an objectively shit season for the rebels fans, what a great way to reward them for sticking with the team. Gives fans bit of hope for next season too...
For that reason i think they made the right call at the end.
Sad to say the reds were the only team without a kiwi scalp this season

Not sure if you had noticed how dumb some of the Highlanders play was broken, they just might of tried it.
But regardless the Rebels only job was to win game, not try and make it so Force made finals, and I understand as a Force man you would want them to keep going, but realisically I doubt whether Force or any team would of done different in same situation.
I will add most supporters of team that missed finals could very well think the same as you too.

So I am torn on kicking the ball out,
Helping the Force, couldn't care less (Sorry Force fans, just the way it is)
Knocking Highlanders out of finals, yes. They knocked us out a few years ago in the final round of the season. So I think pay back should have been on the cards.

Eh get the win. People say there's no way of fucking it up grossly underestimate the Rebels.
Bank it, generate positive momentum and go regroup.

If the 13 and 1 Blues lose to the 4 and 10 Highlanders this weekend I will never visit this goddamn forum ever again.

I think you pretty safe DP, really can't see it happening. There's no more chance of that than there is of Moana Pasifika at 14th place would beat 3rd place Brumbies!!

A quick peek at wikipedia shows Blues have played Highlanders 33 times 1996 to 2019. Won 17, lost 16. With a winning percentage of 51.5%. And I am pretty sure that since it is a Blues home game, the Gordon Hunter Memorial Shield is up for grabs as well. Highlanders 10 wins, Blues 9. I am sure the Highlanders will be no trouble at all to the Blues this weekend. Nothing to be even slightly nervous about.
