Changes for the tahs pack not a moment too soon, but Bell still out there looking cooked.

Shouldn't have dropped that, but he also should probably have been subbed by now. This is not a game to be putting bulk minutes into your props

Tahs might actually be better off playing a man down. Or they just desperately needed the break.

I don't know, might be happy not to have anything trapping the heat

Makes sense, they were just about the two most experienced players left. Has anyone at crusaders hq checked they haven't disturbed an ancient burial ground or angered a witch recently?

I think he was more talking about them literally roasting in the sun...

If you thought the tahs defence was porous with 15 out there...

The way this is going Coleman might not survive the half time break

Tahs misfiring lineout going to make this even harder than it already was

5 minutes hammering the line for tahs and no pay, Fiji respond with a long range try as soon as they get out of the 22. Looking like a long afternoon for the tahs at this point.

Ooft, can't be giving away points for free in Fiji

Not from either side

The match ups this round don't look particularly kind on the neutral viewer. Only the tahs v Drua looks likely to be particularly close.

This is the part that has always made it clear what this fight is about - directors getting out of trouble, not saving the club: And this just seems delusional: State government maybe, but the feds aren't going to come to the Rebels rescue. The second they do they'll have a line of A-League...

Defence has been better this half from the Brumbies, but it also probably wouldn't matter. They've got Moana well and truly cooked at this point

Someone mute Harrison

Brumbies have mostly looked their best this year so far, but the changes for this game haven't done anything to improve their defensive frailties. It shouldn't make much difference to the result but if they don't come away with a bp Larkham will be kicking himself.

New sideline correspondent is an upgrade on Harrison

This is the frustrating thing about the Rebels - these players are clearly capable of so much more but they just enter ever game so unprepared for what's coming. Going into the sheds and the shame of how they've been playing fires them up and they can come out gunning but they just don't have...

It definitely is, I think it's because Foote wants the numbers in the d line but it hasn't been working and it's getting worse now that their opposition knows they're doing it. It's dumb tactics and it's wearing out what already looks to be an unfit pack.
