Jooste will be regretting not taking a few extra seconds to kick that penalty. Didn't need to be a restart

Rebels are hoping there will be space with the yellow rather than actually looking for it and making it. This period is keeping them in touch but I feel like if they don't get pay they'll be cooked. Particularly if Gordon is done

Would've thought so with Joostes range

Ekuasi getting treatment. Is playing on but not looking comfortable. Rebels might run out of backrowers soon

Nothing specific, but looks like it might be hia - he's moving freely and not cradling an arm or anything like that

Not sure why the rebels have given up contesting the ruck again but if you let the chiefs play quick like this they're always gonna make you pay.

Rebels are looking good in defence and on the counter, just killing themselves whenever they have to play phases.

That's absolute dross off of a centre field scrum. Can't be wasting platforms like that

He might have played for them but I'd hazard a guess his heart lies with a different blue and gold team. Plenty of those guys have much stronger QLD ties than NSW ones and if you believe they left because of Thorn then the barrier to returning isn't there anymore. More generally all of those...

Petaia for 2 games before getting injured than Feauai-Sautia, but that was Petaia's 2nd year. He debuted in 2018 mostly in 23 or on the wing with Feauai-Sautia and Kerevi sharing 13.

The problem is not these young guys being advanced ahead of "better options", it's that our squads aren't built with enough depth for there to be better options than calling in a 19/20 year old before they're ready.

Fantastic news, great to see the women included in the tour too. Huge opportunity for the fringe wallabies and those returning from injury to press their case for the Rugby Championship too.

Still expecting this one today or is it going to be another "make sure you're in your seats early" before the Force game next weekend?

Compiling the team this evening, last call for votes

I have a feeling if Tony Brown wanted a super rugby head coach job he'd have one. Can't really see him jumping ship on the boks before the world cup.

Defensive lineout has been great for the rebels though. I feel like their main problem has been the consistency of the throwing and that's more down to the individual players and list management. Would probably nice if the Wallabies were able to bring in a skills coach for that though, it has...

Edmed is not actually signed for 2025 yet, it's entirely possible he moves on if he believes the tahs are betting on bringing in Gordon. The way things are going that could easily happen before Gordon is guaranteed too.

With Schmidt talking about the importance of player lead coaching he could do much worse then getting O'Connor involved with our young tens...

Good little write up/interview with Brendan Gabbett about Tim Ryan over on ESPN: https://www.espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/id/40155944/how-club-rugby-put-bite-queensland-reds-junkyard-dog-tim-ryan It's maybe early days to draw some of the conclusions there, given the glowing praise for Jorgensen a...

Has he floated the idea of "looking at what every other side is doing and playing more rugby outside of season to actually develop players" yet? I reckon that might be a good place to start.
