Did anyone see what happened to Horne? Why is Cross on? Hangers-Carter-Cross looks very, very weak.

Tahs scrum is getting RUINED. Robbie Freuan is an absolute beast of a man, he'll be part of the WC squad for sure. G. Whitelock and Todd are both running great support lines, making a lot of metres just wide of the ruck.

If the Rebels are going to have any chance, the backrow have to match their efforts from last week. And Gerrard needs to kick the ball out. A long, long way out. Sivi running at Mitchell is a scary thought.

I reckon the Reds are going to get rolled.

I hope he gets a game soon, he's a brilliant athlete. Doesn't seem to have much of a rugby brain though, made some really bad decisions in the trial matches.

Rebels team named, exactly the same as last week, except Luke Rooney dropped for Betham. I want to see Betham and Kingi come off the bench in the last 15, Taumoepeau as well. That's when the Chiefs could really cut loose, so we'll have to try and match them.

It wasn't too far off that against the Tahs either. The Chiefs are due a win for mine. IF however, the Rebels somehow manage to pull it off, it will be absolutely massive. I'd expect a huge crowd in for the Sharks match.

It's chance of rain 1+mm then 10+mm. Probably should have put that in. So basically there's a pretty good chance it will rain, strong northerly winds predicted as well. The main problems I see are the Chiefs back three on the kick returns, and where the Rebels' points are going to come from.

Shame about Burgess, I'd love to see Richard Kingi step up.

Well the Rebels don't seem like SUCH a clusterfuck now?

Atmosphere was absolutely outstanding! Best at any rugby game I've been to in Australia. Did not mind in the slightest being drenched by Gareth Delve's sweat after the match. How did it come across on tv?

Get the fuck in!

Yeah but it isn't really loutish behaviour at all, that's the thing. It's a bit stupid, sure, but compared to some of the stuff you hear about AFL and League players, it's pretty small fry. And hey, he is grabbing peoples attention, who knows, maybe the media will decide he's just a bit of a lad...

Man it's really not a big deal as far as I'm concerned, I know I'm not doing my best thinking at 4 in the morning. And yes, he shouldn't have put himself in that sort of situation to begin with, but he's what, 23? Definitely not worth packing him off for, it's only worrying as an indicator of...

Exactly, it's not even particularly well covered up, real hidden in plain sight sort of stuff. Makes you question some of the trade decisions (Lovett to St. Kilda, Fevola to Brisbane etc.) with some of the stories you hear. Anyway, don't think there's much to this story, Cipriani is just a bit...

daz, the AFL players are absolutely shocking for the most part. Just because it's not being reported, doesn't mean it's not happening. Completely agree with the rest of your post though.

That is a much, much better looking team. Might actually score this week!

Yeah? Could have just been frustration on my part, was just watching the same stuff that happened in the Crusaders trial happen all over again. If you reckon he was though, then I'm happy for him to stay, as long as he stops drifting in on defense.
