Round 5: Lions v Rebels - Sun12:05am @Emirates Park

Rebels up 19 - 5 after 22 minutes and they are hot on attack again.

Hodge in the corner, Cooper finished a fantastic length of the field try, Meakes with an intercept about 22m out off a set play (after DHP failed to ground a kick over the line that would've been another try).

Crazy game so far.

This is insane, going upstairs to see if Naisarani is in again. Rebels attack is firing on all cylinders, Cooper and Genia in particular.

Try against the base of the post! 23 minutes in, should be 26 - 5. Lions would be in shock.

Not a fan of these Genia contested kicks when already with decent field position.

Lions cross field kicks are looking pretty effective so far. When they have an open backline they have the wide winger playing up very flat for the cross field kick.

Lions lineout is a mess though.

And Tom English loses the ball trying to fall over the line for the second time this year. Fantastic counter attack from the Rebels was Crusader-esque with how quickly they shifted it at full speed.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing teams aimlessly hit the ball up in their own 22 just to knock it on. Just dumb rugby rightfully penalised.

Well, Tom English didn't drop that one.

5m scrum to a flat Billy Meakes with a decoy Cooper out the back, the defenders watched Cooper and Meakes just dumped it off to English to crash over.

Didn't bother with the warning, yellow to Meakes finally.

Penalties were 8 - 1 at half time, must be about 11 - 1 now.

Rebels steal the 5m lineout. This Lions team is bumbling.

Lions finally crash over from close range.

Hoping this penalty count normalises soon.
