because they are very very good.

Nope.

Meakes being a nuisance but getting caught. Could have allowed the game to play on.

Rebels have the territory game - well ahead. I think Reds are winning the ruck battle.

Dominant scrum Rebels. :eek:

It is the slow feed with the loose head playing for a Ref call.

Rebels locks are on fire. Reds not bad but Rebels punching hard.

Bad luck Kellaway, worse luck Rebels with Petaia on fire. :):):)

Why voice a threat that is meaningless? What would RA do, drop the Force from the comp? Force have been left high and dry by no less than RA themselves. RA want to think hard and fast about how they dictate to these guys right now. Edit: But if RA were to take this sort of shit seriously...

In the scrum? Nup. In the line out? Nup. In general play, tight? Nup. In general play, wide? OK.

I'm looking forward to the 6-7-8 battle. The Reds are highly favoured by Reds fans, but would need to back it up in a game like this. Ditto the claims of the Rebel supporters for their back row. Reds should really take this and take it well. 15 on 15 though and anything can happen. Go Red. :)

It is the finals. Good rugby does not rate other than as a consequence. Anyone playing here should have one thing and one thing only in mind. A "W".

This. And how good is his distribution? Are we playing a 12 man game or are we playing a full back line? Only Rennie has those answers but there is a game plan where 10: JOC (James O'Connor) 12: Stewart 13: Petaia makes perfect sense. At international level.

Perhaps. 12 is resolved in the short term with To'omua. Or JOC (James O'Connor). Kerevi returning would be with little match fitness and dictates a certain kind a game plan that may or may not suit Rennie. If it does, fine. Simone has been rated highly by many but I dont think he is a nat's whisker above Stewart...

WB squad is weak at 2 and 12 (as well as locks). Any opportunity for these two to shine is important.

Absolutely. But more than that too. Twiggy keeps his options open. Force had to relocate in 2020, do we know that won't be required in 2021? I don't think it's that big a stretch. Still you are correct - the deck is stacked for joining SRau over SRa. Broadcast times, being away etc, all very...

I don't know. I suggested this would happen some time back. [More ccurately the bells have been ringing for a long time. Nothing new.] WA owes RA nothing. Forrest will keep his options open. RA need to manage it. The deck is stacked in RA's favour so they simply need to follow through. OTOH is...

I don't see the point in McMahon (nor LFG who has also been mentioned). We are sufficiently competitive in the back row. Agree with you thoughts on our weakness at 12, but I would only call in Kerevi should Rennie want a "big bopper" option at 12. I prefer a second playmaker and would opt for...

I appreciate their sponsorship. Also all genuine efforts in indigenous programmes. They should however feel the heat over recent issues. I saw an interview with Kevin Rudd, a man I can find little to agree with. He dubbed them Rio TNT. It is hard to argue.

It is a fabulous form team.
