great to see Taps get his shot - and suprised that Chambers not on bench

Tapuai is a gun. Very good player. Chambers might have a fun time getting back into the team, because Ben is in very good condition at the moment. However, I have never seen Taps play 13 and in my head I always thought of him as a specialist 12. I am more than happy to be wrong though. Can't wait to see him go.

When do they name the Rebels team?
With so many loose forwards under an injury cloud, i wonder what they will do if both Lipman and Delve are ruled out.

I agree, he has demonstrated the attributes of a inside centre in my eyes.. he might be able to fill in at 13, but i think his long term role will be closer into the action
that would have to be the nail in the coffin for Lei Tomiki as well for 2011, barring any late season appearances and dominant form.
Rebels Team (from fullback): Julian Huxley, Afusipa Taumoepeau, Lachlan Mitchell, Stirling Mortlock (c), Cooper Vuna, Danny Cipriani, Nick Phipps, Gareth Delve (vc), Tom Chamberlain, Jarrod Saffy, Adam Byrnes, Alister Campbell, Greg Somerville, Ged Robinson, Nic Henderson Reserves: Heath Tessmann, Laurie Weeks, Hugh Pyle, Tim Davidson, Richard Kingi, Peter Betham, Luke Rooney

A finger will also have to play well.

Good to see Delve pulled through, also glad Rooney isn't in the XV. I quite like the look of that backline, actually some decent speed there - Gerrard is an absolutely massive loss though.

According to a Fox News message I got Chambers will be on the bench, unless Fox have their info wrong.
Unless they have info we don't about some Link mind games that team comes from the Reds press release.

A bit hard on Chambers - none of the backs did anything v the Brumbies (except for A Finger in defence a Q Cooper from the kicking tee) although he did have a bad game v the Force.
Good to see Link rewarding performance from the 2nds though. I haven't seen any games but heard that Taps was playing really well so fair play to him for earning the promotion

Not a whole lot of choice to be honest, we're very, very thin with inside backs. Besides, Huxley has missed the most tackles in the entire competition - I didn't fancy seeing Digby running at him and Cipriani all day long. Brings Taumoepeau in as well, makes it a much quicker backline.

If the Reds forwards do their job and the backline clicks the heroic scrambling defence we've seen from the Rebels isn't going to be enough I think. There are just too many strong finishers close to the line. I'm tipping Genia to get at least one of his trademark sneaky tries on the goal line.
