Well qwerty51 I hope he proves you wrong big time.

Kimami Sitauti is playing for the Rebel Rising tonight v NSW Country at Harlequins. Good to see him back from injury. The Rebels named for this match are Eddie Aholelei, Chris Thomson, Jordy Reid, Tim Davidson, Alex Rokobaro, Sitauti and Bryce Hegarty. There is no Pat Leafa but Adam Freier has...

qwerty51 what's wrong with English? I am actually looking forward to seeing him (a young guy) get a decent go. So he can show us what he's got. So far in his two matches he has played 5 minutes and 2 minutes plus there has been another three matches where he has sat on the bench for the entire game.

swingpass I have been thinking the exact same thing re: Horie and his game time. There has also been 4 games where Horie has sat on the bench all game. Leafa may get a game in June (I think v Brumbies) because Horie may be away with the Japanese team who host Wales at that time.

Tom Sexton, who is a Melbourne-born (and thus Australian qualified) hooker, who is playing for Leinster. I think Ged may leave because of the reduction in our foreign spots as well as possibly Shota. But I would expect Pat Leafa to still be here.

Colby Fainga'a signing one year contract with Rebels confirmed on Rebels website.

Luke Burgess confirmed as signing a 3 year deal with the Rebels. He is expected back in Oz in May. Rebels are advertising for 2014 Head Coach role and have told Damien Hill he is more than welcome to apply. Confirmation that Steve Boland is departing from CEO role. Sam Cordingley has been...

Congratulations to Mitch Inman and Angus Roberts for scoring their first Super Rugby tries last night. It has been a long wait for Inman last night was his 39th Super Rugby game. Well deserved, Inman has been one of, if not our best player this year.

My six year old son summed it up perfectly after the Kings drop goal: "I can't believe the Rebels lost the game." Rebels still don't know how to defend a slender lead, but there was a number of basic errors that cost us including Higginbotham dropping a Phipps pass which if caught probably...

The game was punctuated by fundamental errors from both teams. This typifies why the Rebels and the Force are the two worst teams in the Aus conference. Having said that I am very happy that the Rebels were able to fight out the match and hang on for a win, particularly after their disastrous...

Ratini scored a ripping try for the Sharks in the NSW Cup on the weekend. He was 20 metres out from the try line with about a millimetre of space between him and the touchline, he blew past his opposite winger and then was too quick for the full back to score in the corner.

It was an improved performance by the Rebels. As has been said Reid and Alo-Emile addition provided some spark. Along the same lines (youth) Damien Hill is there anyway you can pick Tom English (and give him more than 5 minutes on the field) ahead of the average Sidey just to add some...

Exactly what I thought when I saw the team.

I agree re: Roberts and Leafa and I thought Jordy Reid showed some promise too. Of the Vics Bill Valetini came off the bench and played on the wing, he scored a nice try. In the first two matches I thought Kemu Valetini and Pat Toeta were the Vics that showed the most promise. Unfortunately...

I thought Alby was unlucky to get a yellow. He did try to slow down the play twice in about thirty seconds though. He was getting in Phipps' way (nudging him with his shoulder) when he went for the quick tap about 5 metres out where Phipps lost the ball backwards. Then he grabbed Phipps by the...

Kronic, I love that chant, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Me too. Reb-els, Reb-els, Reb-els ...

Some bad news, according to the Herald Sun, Cooper Vuna has a suspected fractured shoulder blade.
