Typical Rebels make a break and have no one in support.

Hardwick either chocolates or boiled lollies, great pilfer and then gets penalised.

I have learnt something this half. The objective of the line out for both teams is to throw the ball over the line out.

Is the change in tactic by Rebels showing a lack of respect for Force? In last two weeks Rebels have kicked penalties when possible and nearly upset hot favourites. Concerned by the lack of points.

Rob Kearney, absolutely brilliant.

Rebels dominating, before Cubelli break, but alas no points on the board.

Rebels named 10 on the bench and still someone who is on bench wasn't part of the 10 (James Tuttle).

Rebels getting creative with naming bench last week we had a TBC, this week we have two players at 21 and 23. I will be interested to see what next week's trick will be.

KevinO there are protocols for a reason. Teams named 4 days after incident, so he wouldn't have passed all protocols by then. If he has passed them since it is reasonable that he plays. I am still half expecting that he doesn't.

Forcefield we are quite thin on fit props at the moment, possibly named him (2 days before game) hoping he passes protocols / to give him every chance to pass protocols. Maybe wishful thinking. I wouldn't be surprised to see him withdrawn from the team. In these circumstances I would prefer...

Surprised Pone has been picked. After the massive hit to the head he received 6 days prior to this game I am surprised he has/will have passed concussion protocols.

Worse case scenario if neither is fit enough, who is next choice?

What are realistic chances of either or both being back?

Who is the Rebels' next prop off the cab rank? Can't see Pone playing on Friday night?

Unbelievable kick by Lonergan. Hardwick gave away two stupid penalties to give them the chance.

Bad mistake from Anderson before that.

Lazy defence from Rebels.

How good is the man that scored the try that secured our first finals berth last year? Cabous Eloff.

How long does scrum half have to feed scrum?

Both teams have been a bit average this half. Kicks out on full, poor passes and knock ons.
