Super Rugby RD 8: Rebels v Force

[SteveWA]

Honestly lost to a team that didn’t even look like winning. Rebels tactics bizarre and incompetent. Potentially the worst game I have every watched. Two teams that should be docked points for that game

Seriously?

 

[Forcefield]

The Rebels played against the Force tonight like the Force against the Rebels in Perth.

 

[Dctarget]

Yikes on bikes that was dreadful, well done to Force for getting a win away from home.

Mate did you think that game was good? If so, please seek help.

Seriously?

As an impartial I gotta say he’s right. Rebels should have won that but final execution was absolutely appalling. To'omua was horrible. But all credit to the Force who stuck it out and won it tough, fair, and square. That was one for the purists, that’s for sure.

I take that to mean you didn’t see it.

 

[Equalizer]

F@ark I don't know how, I don't know why but we got there. Guts, guts guts.

Honestly lost to a team that didn’t look like making any thing in attack. Rebels shocking tactics but give the feel of the game should of won by 20.

Mate if you can't be happy for the Force you are a muppet. We are still building our way back in Super Rugby. You sound like you just want to pile on with negativity. Obviously still hurt from losing players to the Force when we first came into the comp.

Something something Rebels on the road something something injuries

Idk man I’m trying

When have the Rebels ever, and i mean ever, performaned as a team to the ability of their composite parts?

Sometimes it's just good to win ugly!
And - recognise a strong defensive effort.

Probably when we spanked the Waratahs this year.

 

[Brumbieman]

Probably when we spanked the Waratahs this year.

Is that bragworthy?

 

[Derpus]

Probably when we spanked the Waratahs this year.

Oh please. A blind donkey would have beat the Waratahs. Surely you aspire to greater things tha. Topping the 'club in crisis'.

thats the nature of our rivalry. Its always been close, it's always been gritty. This time we came out on top. Lets not talk like the Rebels are world beaters.

Won’t deny I’m negative on the Force and their squad, I’ve made that clear all year.

Tell me, as an Australian rugby fan, which Force players am I supposed to be excited about after tonight?

 

[Scooter]

Disappointing from Rebels, win and virtually wrap up a finals spot. Alas they have form at not wrapping up finals spots when they have a chance three games out.

Force fans enjoy, hung around long enough to be able to take the win.

 

[Rebels3]

Okay without sounding like a crazy looney. My two cents on the game is the Rebels look like a team that’s caved to the pressure of “not been able to score try’s”. This has lead to some brainless tactical play and decisions. They have gone from a scoreboard pressure team in the first few weeks to a team that’s trying to prove a point. The simple facts are they aren’t good enough to be anything more than a scoreboard pressure team. There isn’t anything wrong with been a smart team instead of an entertaining team, the fact is more people will walk away from that game disappointed they didn’t win through smart footy than loosing by scoring try’s.

The force are as tough as nails but never looked like breaking the halfway line unless given territory. They deserve to win the game through playing it smart, despite been outplayed however they were not outsmarted and at the end of the day that’s what mattered. The Rebels could learn a thing or two from their first two games and the game against the Tahs where scoreboard pressure mattered
