Subbing Meakes? Thought he had been out best. Big call

Yes, Marika been good tonight so far

I'd like to see the Aussie wings put on side steps like that. Sometime I feel all we have is the barge through

There have never been good numbers for Saffa games. NSW, Brums and Kiwi games get the numbers

I agree. We have only had one 80 min performance this year, against the reds and the scoreline reflected what is possible when the boys get it together for a full game

Yeah, Nah. I wouldn't go that far. All teams have an off day and pro rugby is very unforgiving of being even just a little off. Defence was the biggest issue for us as the stats above highlight.

Yep. Ive been expecting a flat rush defence to counter our flat attack. I'm surprised it took so long. My only contention with this comment is the term "runner". Our blokes were very static receiving the ball whilst the stormers were already moving as soon as thr half back had the ball. This...

I found a lot of the subs baffling too. We simply were not switched on tonight.

Nice Will. I'm looking for a lions like comeback

Rebels defense just not there tonight. We could barely hit a tackle bag and cannot seem to break them down.

Ok c@ck

That last yellow was ridiculous.

I've never really rated Billy before this year. Admittedly I didn't see a lot of him out west except for the Rebels games and last year he had a couple of good moments. Was I being a bit harsh or has he really stepped up this year. He has really been really good.

That restart looked 10 to me.

A lot of teams this year, particularly the Aussies have been ignoring easy kickavle penalties early in favour of the scrum or line out. It was drilled into me (admittedly in a weak Vic country league) that you always take them early when the defences are strong and chance your arm later if you...

For the game itself, that dis not go as I expected. I thought out scrum would be dished up but they held their own really well and even dominated one or two. Very good effort from the right five and I think they really appreciated the extra push from the big back row. I agree with others, out...

I think all Aussie sides need more of the Kiwi knack of "cheating". The darkness know how to push the limit and play the ref. I have felt the Aussie sides have lacked that for the last decade and a bit. Opposition supporters hate it (me included as a wobs supporter) but when you cool off and...

Gee, it's only a 10 min chat in the sheds at half time but I'm always amazed at what a difference it often makes. Two very different deals came up the players race for the second stanza.

Has Matt Ribbon been that good or has he done a Bradbury. I have little knowledge of the front row craft but things have never looked great in tthe scrum for the rebs this year no matter who was on. Any old front-rowers able to share insight / thoughts on this one?
