Brumbies v Rebels RD17

[daz]

That's not a bad side, really.

Jordy needs to get involved and use those massive shoulders of his to smash the breakdown. 6,7,8 will set the tone for our go forward ball. The key will be how clean and quick we can recycle.

I still think it will be a bridge too far for the boys, but if we maintain the rage for 80, anything is possible.

Nic White will captain the Brumbies this week.

Blessing or a curse for Nic. Not sure if running the team whilst trying you audition for the Wallabies is a healthy mix.

Quietly confident of a win here for the Rebels. It will be bloody tough, but never say never.

Nice week to get McCabe and Palmer back.

I never would have picked that team (Never thought that way), I thought Smiler would be 6 but that's a bloody good team right there.

Fotu obviously didn't recover in time.

Nice week to get McCabe and Palmer back.

I thought he broke somthing or put his shoulder out ?

 

[lex]

I have to say that considering the Brumbies are missing Alexander, Moore, Mowen, Auelua, G Smith, Pocock, Leali'ifano, Tomane and A Smith, that is still not at all a bad team.

 

[Dean Hyde]

As disappointing as it would be for White, Mogg and possibly McCabe to not yet be in the wallabies squad I sure am glad they are playing for the Brums this week.

Was just thinking that Deans may have done everyone a favour by picking McCabe and White late (hopefully).

I've got to say I am happy Luke Burgess is back playing in Australia. I would only be happier if it was for the Tahs.

 

[Ghibli]

With the Tahs to get Phipps and maybe Beiber next year, Tahs fans can start dreaming again.

Brums and Rebels hard to split tonight - too many unknowns to predict.
Timely return for McCabe & Palmer, that's for sure.
Kicking (in play & penalties) will have to be spot on.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Looks like Bryce Hegarty is out with infected gum and wisdom teeth problems.

Or it could be a gee up.

 

[Scooter]

According to the Rebels website Hegarty is out with a virus. Hilgendorf moves from the bench to 10 and Angus Roberts comes onto the bench. Never thought I would see James wearing the Rebels number 10 again. Welcome back and good luck James.

 

[Pedrolicus]

You would imagine with so many changes to both teams it might be loose game. Hopefully an entertaining one.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Damn, Nick white is in trouble. Shoulder injury?

Fair to say your boys have had there dash. Back to the Rebels of old without Pyle and Higgers to lead them around.
