Moving on from last week, the Rebels now have a chance to notch their first win in SA against a very depleted Sharks outfit. I think this is the Rebels best chance to break the SA duck, provided we can get our heads right after the Stormers match. Expect that Smith, Naivalu and Ellison will...

The Rebels return to the stockade to take on the Chiefs. The Rebels come of a close loss and the Chiefs a less convincing win against a 14-man Force outfit. Both teams pack talent, however the Chiefs are brimming with All Black talent and will look to continue their winning Record at AAMI...

The fact that its taken a while for anyone to start a matchday thread makes me think everyone is a little puzzled over this match. The Rebels come off a dour battle against the bye and the Brumbies an unexpected loss over in Auckland. Adding To'omua and Sio to team rehab isn't good news for...

So this week Alan Jones has decided to mouth off at the ARU, the Puliveriser in particular and through his support behind the embattled KB (Kurtley Beale). But for him to take a swing at John Eales and label him 'an over-rated player and over-rated administrator'. I cannot comment on his ability as an...

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...

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...

The Rising kick off round 6 of the NRC with a home fixture against the Vikings. Rising are coming off a win in against the Eagles and the Vikings a 37-all stalemate against the Stars. It appears the Rising overcame a few injures and look forward to regaining big Toby and Jonah for this weeks...

Well, who thought the Rising would be three from three at this point? After a very dominant display against Brisbane City the rising play host to the Perth Spriit. The Spirit are one from three this season and would be looking for the win against a home team riding high on confidence...

Well, this one should be a goodie :) Both teams remain undefeated and are playing fast and fearless Rugby. Both teams will be chock-full of super-level players, but this time the Rising a wandering into enemy territory. Weather is forecast to be good (22 and sunny) and I'm expecting another...

And it's kickoff for a new Rugby team in Melbourne and a new comp on OZ. Not even gonna bother trying to pick form or anything like that, just hoping the rising get up for a win. Be missing this one as I'm still in the air, but I'll be cheering from a Jetstar flight somewhere over Queensland...

OK lads, this is our last match for the year. Both teams coming off a loss last weekend and both teams just playing for pride. For the Rebels we need to win this AND the Cheetahs to get NO points (i.e. no win, no BP) from their match against the Lions for us to avoid the wooden spoon. A...

Right, so here we are. The start of the SA road trip, looking for our first win in Johannesburg, down on our luck after recent matches and looking to finish the season on a high. I would love nothing more than to taste victory over these guys and if there is ANY match on this tour we could...

OK, let's make it real simple here: It's the last Rebels home game for the year. Last game at Home for Jon Snow And Woody. Probably others, but we don't know who they are yet. The loser of this match will most likely end up earning the wooden spoon for the skippy conference. No one wants that...

As Tex would say, Rebels will in this. I have no factual evidence to base my statement, just blind faith and hope for another upset. Brumbies coming off a tough SA tour, so they might be down on confidence too. Then again, they might give us the bollocking of our life.

I can see why the Reds fans amongst us are not keen to start this thread. I smell a really good chance here for the Rebels. This is probably our best chance to get our first win at Suncorp. It won't be easy, but I think we can do it.

Ok, time to put the Force loss behind us and look towards the future. For me I'd start by reinstating the starting team from the Cheetahs match. The combinations worked well and we shouldn't have broken them in the first place. The Crusaders didn't look that impressive against the...

Match two in our pre-season buildup in down at Geelong. From what I can see it's going to be another scorcher (40 deg predicted) so better make sure we've consumed plenty of fluids before the match. I haven't heard of any injuries from the 'tahs match so I assume we have a full list to pick...
