Happy enough with the Rebels starting lineup, and forward depth on the bench is a concern.

Yep, still would have him at 230 in a season less if you minus those 3 years from the total. Super Rugby is too short, I have no doubts about that.

The theory is easy, Super Rugby is not enough games. Was thinking of players to compare, both with similar level of tests caps and similar style careers. James Slipper v Cian Healy (funnily enough, both 1.85m and 117kg) 134 test v 128 test, both missed games due to injury over time but when fit...

If you earned the jersey, why would you give someone a opportunity to take it off you. I would never volunteer to give up my spot and risk somebody having a blinder and taking it from me. They want it, come and get it, but you bloody well in for a fight to get it.

Rebels are Mexicans, so of course they are Tax dodgers. Well hoping the Rebels can put in a good performance, maybe a whole 70 minutes will be enough, cause the last two games they have managed wins but have still not played well for enough of the game to really put their opposition away. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)...

Agree, Uelese was my best on ground as well. Lineouts, scrums and work around the park all his best in a long time.

Taped up, couldn't see it

Just going to enjoy this while it last

2.6 Million and the Wallabies left at the group stage, image the total if they made the semis or final

It's a voting member, so at least having someone who understands would be helpful.

I would suggest it's to do with having the right person in the room

Anderson needs to step up, felt his been quite the first 2 games

That's my guess, he played well when he came on though. Proctor did not look good either

So I just read that the 80 million deal with PEP has a 12% interest rate, who on signed off on that? Surely they should have managed a better rate then that. Someone correct me if I am wrong, that would mean on the current 50 million drawn that RA are paying 760K in interest per month.

I think it was a case of RA not playing ball, the Rebels board working on this believing in good faith that RA is going to pay what ever they owe and RA waiting on PE which fell through.

Melbourne Rebels and the VRU to have already requested that information, and RA didn't come to the table. That's what part of the high court case was already.

Interesting take out of NZ, North Island, don't care for Rebels. South Island want the Rebels to survive. With the Melbourne Rebels entering voluntary administration, and Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh offering no long-term commitment to the club, are you concerned that it will...

I'm actually ok with that idea, RA goes bust. New governing body is formed with a constitution similar to NZRU and PE is found at the same time. New GB has Lions tour and rwc to prepare for and takes over from a position of strength.

Nothing surprising in that article
