Hurricanes v Rebels Sat May 21, 7.05pm NZT 5.05pm AEST, Wellington

[Rebel man]

Paul Williams lacks integrity. Can he not favour a Kiwi side for once? Just once be objective

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ four of the last six penalties objective enough for ya?

Edit: plus the marginal forward pass...

But but how can he be a victim he watches properly WOB??

Off to the gym I go.

FINE THEN, off you go, leave us all here in the bloody lurch.

There's only about 5 of us left following this rubbish on the weekends and now it's down to 4.

You look after #1 though.

Don't worry about us.

We'll muddle through somehow.

Unbelievable.

 

[Dan54]

How can it be holding on if the Hurricanes came out with the ball?

Obviously don't understand you have to let go immediately, if someone drags it out of your hands eventually you still holding on.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

'canes probably need to score next. Wouldn't say wheels are falling off but defo looking a bit wobbly here & there.

 

[Scooter]

Opposition attack make ground at will v Rebels defence. Very frustrating.

Does anyone know who the Rebels' defence coach is? That's right head coach Kevin Foote.

I mean, can the Rebels really execute any basic rugby skills with any consistency?

I feel nothing.

Flicked it back on just in time to see a scrum penalty even though the ball came out clean...

Great try saving tackle by Cameron Orr. Unfortunately we lose ball after our line out.

 

[Up the Guts]

Rebels bizarrely oscillate between being extremely strong and extremely flaccid in contact.

We have been consistently poor at executing basic skills since inception.

Maybe shoulda stayed at the gym, eh...

 

[Lightblue]

Can the Rebels play any further behind the advantage line?

Scooter, I can just imagine you sitting around in a circle at a Rugby Anonymous meeting.

 

[Derpus]

Checked it on me phone.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

LOL PUJ comes in from his exile to club rugby and instantly wreaks unholy havoc.

Just why Canes.

He's either a terrible trainer or he's told them yeah fuckyuz I'm leaving this season to play for a team that will actually give me a fair chance to play

 

[Up the Guts]

Checked it on me phone.

You know you’re out of mindless fluff to scroll through when you’re popping a Rebels game on the phone.
