Really enjoyable game.
Rebels defence is starting to show good signs.
Scrum is a real worry though - Blake is setting up far too high and from there it's impossible for him to get low enough to compete.

Well done Rebels. What a great game to watch. Fitness is awesome and the forwards were everywhere.

Blues are probably the team that have disappointed their supporters the most this season. Some of their handling errors were diabolical. Really don't know what has happened to a team I thought had a real chance of topping the NZ conference and going all the way?
Well done to the Rebels though, great effort and massive win. Love their captain, is it true he can't play beyond this season? great pity if so.

Scrum was strange, seemed like the Blues were getting away with a huge shove before the ball was in. Sometimes ref's call it, sometimes they don't.
Great game Rebels, you stuffed my tipping but i'm glad you got up.
Nonu and Weepu are like the poisoned chalice. Not that you can blame them for the loss, but one does wonder if they really give a shit about Super Rugby and that general air of indifference permeates a team culture. Wasn't much heart from the Blues at all.

I can't help but agree. Look at the 'Canes since these two were moved on and then look at the Blues. It can be easily argued that there is a common denominator there, being Porky and Nonu, however it could also be the mediocre players around them. Generally, Mealamu has been the glue that has held the team together, but I can't help wondering if Kaino played a massive role in that too.
Anyway, brilliant win by the Rebels. I particularly enjoyed seeing the Rebels go for the jugular in the dying seconds.

Luke Jones and Hugh Pyle are machines. Such a high workrate for both of them. Both extreme talents, can see them in Wallaby squads for years to come.

Was at the game. Great atmosphere, well done rebels. The blues were terrible, handling errors.
This may be the worst blues team, but why? Nonu, weepu, mealamu, Woodc&*k, williams. Should be better.
Must be frustrating being a Blues supporter ATM.

Great win Rebs, great reward for your supporters as well.
Luke Jones in starting to show his immense talent, that has been touted since he was at school. Incredible really.
I hope he stays south as he is a player they can build a pack around, with Pyle, Saffy etc.
Onwards and upwards for the 5 stars

Pyle looks like a guy who can handle himself in a test jersey.
