A true Qlder not like those embarrassing ones hiding in their aircon

I genuinley hope the players are ok today and have no injuries.

^^^^^^^^
Al players should be wearing hats and sunglasses not just the wingers who wear them each week

 

[Micheal]

Fuck me it is absolutely empty.

It does go late though so let's hope people turn up soon or we certainly won't be seeing it next year.

Idiots should've sold cheap 1 day tickets.

 

[Micheal]

Really soft high tackle from stirzacker.

These new world rugby laws absolutely blow and don't even make the game that much safer.

 

[barbarian]

I'd imagine the crowds are up in the shady sections, Michael. Sydney 7s was the same, not sure it will ever look good on TV even though there might be thousands there.

not a fan of the amount of kicking going on, only going to get worse as the day gets on and players get more tired

I think its a side effect of players not being used to the game. They see no wingers or fullbacks and think they should just kick and chase. No initial thought to try to create space which is a shame.

Yeah, I don't expect many people rushing out to sit in the sun. Crowd will build later.

 

[Micheal]

Very little to take away from this game.

Maddocks, mafi and Reid have looked the best of the Rebels IMO.

English as well.

where's the shade for the players? its stinking hot here.

 

[Micheal]

Well that's a bit more like it.

 

[Micheal]

English with some monster shots!! Fainga'a and Hodge manning up very well as well and looking good in attack.

Hodge goes over.

I spoke to soon the last five minutes have been electric.

 

[Micheal]

Rebels 19 - Chiefs 5

English MOM for me.

 

[Highlander35]

Thought our scrum was impressive, but when Weeks is your smallest front rower and only 2 men behind you can't read too much into it.

Yeah it's empty as....

We're in the shade in 305 so all good here.

Hopefully when the sun goes down more people turn up

OK, as a self professed "it's-not-rugby-if it's-not-15" I'M IN.

Enjoying this. Not a bad kick off to the season at all. Go 10's!

[Dont mind at all if it pushes handli g skills and kick-passes in the pre-season.]

 

[southsider]

jeez how good is this tahs v wild knights game

 

[Dctarget]

man this is great. That Knights try was sensational, not big men but slick hands.

 

[Micheal]

Yeah the first half of the first game wasn't much but the teams are still learning to play.

Tahs vs Wild Knights has been fantastic this far. Good handling given how slippery that ball would be.
