A few milestones for Rebels players this week: Mike Harris and Dom Shipperley both playing their 50th Super Rugby match. Luke Jones playing his 50th Super Rugby match for the Rebels (last week was his 50th Rebels cap) Jonah Placid plays his first Super Rugby match for the Rebels. Tom Sexton...

Speaking of injuries oztimmay anyone heard any updates on Debreczeni, Fuglistaller, Timani and Weeks (he limped off when substituted). What is likelihood of them playing this week?

Makes last year's wholesale change stuff up even more monumental.

Qwerty51 I thought it was a little more than "a head clash" as Clarky described it. Lucky not to be penalised.

Very good first 35 mins from Rebels starting to fall apart now. Cardinal sin by Debreczeni not finding touch with kick from penalty.

Coach killer just before half time with players falling asleep to let Alby Mathewson score easily.

Congratulations to Luke Jones who will notch his 50th Rebels cap tomorrow night. He will be the fourth player to play 50 games for Rebels joining Hugh Pyle, Laurie Weeks and Lachlan Mitchell. (Rebels caps include match v British and Irish Lions).

I think Luke Jones has 48 Super caps (46 Rebels + 2 Force), he has 47 Rebels caps. So this week will be his 49th Super cap, 48th Rebels cap and 47th Super cap for Rebels. So assuming he stays fit in the space of three weeks he will reach his 50th Super cap, 50th Rebels cap and 50th Super cap...

Surprised there were no additions to Rebels injury list. Just Tom Kingston. Surprised Jack D wasn't an addition with concussion. Particularly as that was his second head knock in 2 or 3 weeks

Bloody awesome effort and win by Rebels especially considering we were down a man for 20 minutes(I know Crusaders were also down a man for ten). We couldn't beat both of last year's finalists in first two weeks could we? Why couldn't we bring on Tahs at the Stockade next Friday.

Headline on Rebels website with tomorrow's date "Four potential Rebels debuts in Christchurch" (link doesn't work yet) I assume Harris, Sexton, Shipperley and one of Naivalu, Crawford or Placid. Unless PAE didn't come up and Metcher or Gillespie are in line for debut.

Not Rebels 2015 related but I thought some of my fellow Rebels fans would be interested to know that Danny Cipriani has been named on the bench for England's six nations opener v Wales.

Not only is Max Lahiff's profile gone from the website, so to has Male Sa'u's profile.

Good to see the Rebels are playing a trial at Harlequins Rugby Club v Highlanders on Thursday 5th February. Really engaging with local rugby community.

I actually quite liked the commentary on the stream. Someone else I like is Joe Kamana. I hope another Super Rugby team doesn't steal him from under our noses.

Been to all three Rising home games. Despite the small crowds compared to Super Rugby the atmosphere has been great.

Sean McMahon is out with a minor hamstring strain. He is replaced by Sione Taufa with Reuben Rolleston on the bench. Luke Burgess is back on bench in place of Ben Meehan. Tom Sexton is starting and Pat is back to bench.

A report in today's Herald Sun says CEO Rob Clarke is set to leave Rebels to take up a job with ARU. The VRU CEO is tipped to take over Rebels role.

Burgo, being older, would prefer not to play NRC. Meehan couldn't play last week because of an injury.

Sefanaia Naivalu (hand), Jonah Placid (knee) and Toby Smith (knee) are all injured. The four players that miss out on Rising team will play for the Australian Barbarians in curtain raiser v Eagles development squad.
