After watching the Highlanders game last week all I am going to say is this could be a high scoring affair.

Can't predict the Rebels back line.

Delve, Robinson, Vuna, JOC (James O'Connor), Phipps last week with the club.

It'll be a funny old game, methinks. A total dead-rubber, but one each struggling team will see as an opportunity to finish a poor year on a positive note.

I'll be interested to see what role JOC (James O'Connor) plays. I get the feeling he was never our first choice flyhalf, but Damian accommodated Dingo's plans and gave him as many opportunities as he could to nail down some experience.

He can be in charge of the supplements. I hear he favours Nature's Own, or some other proud sponsor of some random team.

I don't know whether I can make it to this game. Scheduled to finish work at 7pm (basically at Tulla airport). Kick off 7:30pm? Don't think I can be bothered.

Be Bothered. Last game until Feb, both teams a chance to win. Hopefully it should be a good one. Also Kiwi teams always add a couple of thousand to the crowd (no stats to back this up) so great atmosphere at AAMI.
Gareth Delve in his last game. He was The Rebels for me 2012.
Cooper, Ged, Nick, Tim and Richard will be missed and will be playing or in attendance, these guys are legends.
Finally D. Hill, the last couple of months have led me to love this guy as a coach. Would have loved 1 more year.

Rebels by 6 in a 10 try spectacle

Like I said in other forums I'll put a pint on the fact that JOC (James O'Connor) will have an injured heart string for this match and will not play. Anyone willing to that that bet can redeem it any any Pub along in the general AAMI park vicinity.

With the match involving a NZ team and the leaving of some loved players I'd sad we'd nudge 15,000.

Odds on JOC (James O'Connor) getting time only if needed as an injury replacement?

JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench!! What is the bet he will pull a hammy at training and not play on Friday night?

Would have started Sitauti on the wing and kept Woodward at full back. Prefer Jones over Neville this season.

Didn't realize Inman broke his hand against the Lions.

Is Super rugby 23 man squad's next season? I think having a whole front row on the bench is actually a good thing.

Make no mistake; for the Rebels faithful, this is going to be an emotional game in more ways than one.

The boys will get over the line for this one.

And then we all get to sit around wondering what to do with our lives until February 2014.

You can't surely be serious?!

He was deemed fit to play in a crucial home Test series, but now must re-enter re-hab and is thus not fit for a single final S15 game?

I always thought his entire 'KB (Kurtley Beale)'s Wallaby recovery' as 'national treasure' was a ludicrous process that in truth did nothing whatsoever for Beale's real recovery, but this news just takes the cake and exposes the sham-ness of the entire charade.

maybe they deemed the 4am burger run, and 5:30 Iguana Bar issues as "falling off the Wagon"?
