Match preview http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/news/article/round-9-preview-rising-vs-qld-country

Props will run 100m IF they can swan dive under the pins and win the match. Sure they will need the trainer to bring out a emergency supply of Lager to replenish the fluids, but glory doesn't come without pain.

Slipper to run 100m to score under the posts, convert his own kick, and win the match. Every loose head props dream.

He's the (un)official GAGR numbers man.

Given injuries and all that, I like the team. I think a Horwill/Simmons lock pairing would have been a better pick for this match and would ahve given Carter some rest time (think he's played in most the tests this year). Our scrums would certainly benefit from the QLD duo. soon as KB (Kurtley Beale) went on...

Also, the international 7s will be on prior to the match. Fe local boys in there, few internationals. Should be entertaining, but not sure if I can get there that early. http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/news/article/melbourne-international-sevens-schedule-released

I started a matchday thread :) I've been a bit slack this week... Don't mind that team.

Round nine and we remain undefeated. What a good feeling :) After coming off a win against the Stars the boys from the bush will be keen to take a high profile scale to end the season on a high note. The Rising will be looking to ensure the heading to the finals with good momentum...

And on channel 7 this morning.

Not a bad 2nd prize for Toulon if izzy doesn't sign.

A little dent yes, but we have good depth for blindside and OC/wing. Sefa might be back, all depending on how his thumb rehab comes along. Am a little torn, hope is they get to go, but the Rising fan in me wants to see a title win and bring some much deserved Rugby joy to Mexico.

Makes sense since some wallabies are playing this weekend. Still, we (as in the Wallabies) can't afford any more injuries right now.

Looks like the rising will lose Jones and English - they've been called into the Wallabies 32 man squad.

I saw that :) I was gonna look up that post and comment as you've already done, but then I got a serious attack of the CBFs.

Off topic: main goal is to fuck off all the notepads and swap it for technology. So far it's been interesting insofar as my current project hadn't allowed me the time to play with toys. Not when you have to wrangle with the beast known as Salesforce. On topic: after this shit today I'm gonna...

I had the tab but went to the note. Best decision ever. Meeting write ups are a breeze.

Saw something on the NRC tweet feed that Fatcat and Benny A were playing for the Rams too.

Looks like we've been WAY too busy in the Kurtley Beale thread to start a matchday thread for this one. i'll put down my pitchfork for on second and knock up a quick preview. The Rising welcome back Jonah, Sean and Toby from team rehab. The bye came at a good time for the team. The Rams are...

Sorry, I was just out picking up my tin foil hat from the cleaners. What did I miss? It is pitchfork time yet?

Out of interest, here is a list of red cards from all the Rugby World Cup matches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rugby_World_Cup_red_cards And this is the ESPN stats on the match. Normally they would list yellow cards here? http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/match/23707.html
