A time clock and scoreboard would be handy Stan Sport.

Who's liliawasa ?

Finds liliawasa...(fines-leleiwasa)

 

[Shiggins]

Rebels all inside the 10. Should be a pen to the force. No issue ? Wtf

 

[Shiggins]

What. Powell with a nice knock on that's not called.

 

[Lightblue]

2 minutes to go one point behind and the Force kick it... deserve to lose

I thought it was Isaac fines. Lol

 

[Shiggins]

Unbelievable the force were even in the game. Murphy you're so bad. The most Inconsistent I've seen

Wouldn't mind seeing replay. Not sure if off his knees or hands. They both were in the vicinity of the ball.

 

[Lightblue]

Powell came in from the side.. no penalty

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

What the fuck was that decision not to go for the corner?

 

[Shiggins]

What a joke. Just atrocious refereeing.

 

[Tomikin]

I thought it was Isaac fines. Lol

Issak Fines-Leleiwasa I think he changed it too both at some stage..

 

[Scooter]

I see it but I don't believe it. Very happy with the win. Very lucky.

Well we are looking at 4th and 5th oz super rugby side but as neutral what is pleasing is the gap not so large cf early in the season where Rebels woeful.

 

[Rebel man]

So I just turned it on thinking it was 7:45 Perth time. Happy we won disappointed I ruined the result for myself

 

[Scooter]

Raises the question again should you be able to replace a red carded player after 20 minutes?

Even though it benefited the Rebels tonight, I am not sold on that rule.

I suppose the argument to the contrary is that red cards are probably more stringent than they were in the past, so it is reasonable to be able to replace a player after 20 minutes.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Good to see rebels getting back to super rugby quality (force already were) as they were really woeful and subbie standard in first few games and credit where due as much improved.

Nah I like the 20 minute red card rule as avoids deciding a game on poor tackle technique but makes sure offending player pays the price

 

[Rebel man]

To be fair haven’t seen any of the game yet, I should have checked the time.

I feel like we should play games at a more fan friendly time slot for the Force
