$41 at TAB Kev, get on son:)

One thing this highlights, and call me crazy if you like, but the Rebels could still win the Aussie conference. They have one more game against a kiwi side while the Brumbies, Tahs & Reds all have 3 to go. Going on current trends none of the Aussie sides will beat a kiwi side so the Rebels...

What continues to stagger me about the Rebels play is the failure to adapt and that has to come back to the coach. Their biggest issue at the moment is a lack of possession and yet they CONTINUALLY gift possession back to the opposition. Take their re-starts for example. EVERY kick off goes deep...

That penalty was an absolute f***ing joke and was critical to the result of the game. If the penalty goes the other way, as it should have, the Rebels are down the other end of the field, Colby does not get binned, another bullshit decision, and the Rebels could have held on. Pat is the nicest...

It all comes down to attitude, how you want to or are prepared to play the game. Until the AUS and SA teams are prepared to play the NZ style they will continue to be beaten by them on a consistent basis. The ONLY team outside NZ who has attempted this recently is the Lions and it took them all...

Interesting, thanks.

Is Tom Cusack still contracted to the 7's?

You'll notice I did mention our Super Rugby sides as well, wasn't pinning this all on Cheika

I've just read through this entire thread & FINALLY, thank you Tip, someone addresses the real problem here which is HOW WE PLAY THE GAME! The Wallabies and all our Super Rugby sides, bar the 2011 Reds, have continued to play this over-coached, super structured, possession style game that Rod McQueen...

Ellison was the late injury change

KevinO, I think you will be pleasantly surprised where Harris plays this week.

Rebel Yell, I'm sorry mate but they are NOT playing left & right! McMahon packs at blindside EVERY scrum.

Well said luke. While I think you're a touch harsh on Jordy, after last night I think it's pretty obvious the extra dimension Colby brings to the team. I've been trying to tell anyone who will listen that McMahon has been playing 6 even though he has had 7 on his back & I was glad that little...

He was low 80kgs when he came to the Rebels, blew out to around 105 during his injury & is currently mid to low 90kgs. Might explain why he's slowed up a bit

I originally thought Reid & McMahon were playing left & right as well but you check the replay from last week & McMahon packs at blindside the whole game

Is there any explanation why McMahon keeps getting named as 7 when he is playing blindside flanker?

Agree with Tex that the hype around Hodge needs to come down a notch or two. As some in here have pointed out, he actually had a fairly average game against the Force with quite a few unforced errors against his name. I was quite shocked when Cheika talked him up as much as he did on Rugby 360.

I don't get why so many want to see Jones & Timani in the backrow. Sure they have the right physiques for a decent 6 & 8 but, IMO both these guys are simply not athletic and or skillful enough to fulfill the roles of those spots. Timani is simply not quick enough nor does he possess the ball...

I wish I was wrong but I can tell you the scan results were not good. Mike has a bad tear in his quad & Colby will be in an elbow brace for 4 weeks after hyperextending it not long after he came on :(

Unfortunately Colby will be out of action for 4-6 with an elbow injury & I've heard Harris is out for up to 12 weeks
