Big defence by the Rebels and there's the hooter but a LO to come for the rebels
Rebels win and fair play to them.

I have to laugh, Cannon was cheerleading/coaching for the Force most of that game and now he has to ask the "tough" questions to Sharpie

Feel bad for the Force fans and the team. I do have a soft spot for the force they are capable of producing really good Rugby, was hoping they'd get this one, damn it!

Decent game. Some good players on both sides. Tahs better watch their back - Rebels could take 2nd spot off 'em soon. Macqueen definitely making his mark as coach.

Shouldn't have left Queensland then.
Great game to highlight the value to Wallaby Rugby of having these additional two professional teams. Wykes and now Pyle as Good future Locks.
O'Connor unlucky not to win another game at fly half. He'll win a lot more in the future. But at least he's getting that opportunity now.
Mortlocks, Gerard and Shep coming back / staying in the Australian system, performing and showing the kids how to do it.
Phipps and Saffy for Rebels and Cummins and McCalman continue to impress.
The game more than the result is what was important tonight. Feel sorry for the Force, but all good for the Wallaby perspective.

Hmmmm... I think he still would have!
Great win for the Rebs, unfortunately this will make it harder for the Mighty Waratahs next week.

Interesting one... If you're on the ground you're not in the game, hence you have to release. But all the Force players who approached made no attempt to keep their feet despite no opposition and lay in the potential ruck area so the Rebels couldn't get to it.
One for the refs assessors to spend a day justifying their wage on

Don't know about that. The Force have made an art of losing the unlosable, maybe more than any other team in any sport. Maybe they need some 'Tahs fans' support' rather than being applauded again tonight.

In spite of the loss, I actually really enjoyed that game. Lots of good footy played and it was close. JOC (James O'Connor) seems to be growing into playing 10 and that's great. One more play making option for the end of the year. Sam Wykes had a super game, as did the Rebels locks. Morty whilst not quite like the man of old, rolled back the years tonight. His angles were terrific and his defence rock solid. Enjoyed his game. Phipps showed again why he has to be considered for higher honours.

3 wins before halfway through the season is a great return for the Rebs. Unfortunately most of our away games are to come.

Come on.....are we not past the good effort shit that people go on about. If this was a company listed on the stock exchange that was loosing shareholder millions of dollars would we just dismiss it and say well they gave it a good try. This is bullshit. Members need to wake up and voice some dissatisfaction. Im sick of the same interviews saying the boys are dissapointed, we made too many mistakes. JOC (James O'Connor) on twitter....2 minutes after the game ended saying how gutted he is. Put the phone away. There are serious problems in the use of reserves during the game. The coaching is pathetic. The attack coach should learn some plays and learn how to kick for field position. Endless kicks going nowhere. Move the idiots off the sideline so you can actually take a quick lineout without having to trip over the 200 people milling around there. Learn how to win when the opposition is down with only 14 players but you still give up a try. Maybe we need to copy the Rebels blueprint, 3 wins in opening season. Life your game force.....have I missed anything?
