Rebels v Waratahs 2015 Super Rugby Rd 2

[Braveheart81]

The Rebels have always struggled against pace out wide. Carraro is a solid player but he's about as quick as Laurie Weeks.

Is Tala Gray injured? I loved his NRC.

He's fit again.

He had his knee cleaned out during the preseason which took a little longer to recover from than planned which delayed his availability.

At this point he's probably battling with Jed Holloway to be the next backrower to get a crack when needed.

Ah that would do it. Hopefully he gets a chance sooner rather than later, good tough player.

 

[ChargerWA]

This games a ripper.

 

[Wilson]

Excellent work higgers

 

[Wilson]

7 - 3 to the rebels

 

[KevinO]

Huggers first try, u beauti

 

[Highlander35]

Good try to the Tahs. Ref very lenient on the attacking breakdown.

 

[A mutterer]

while i'm happy with that cheeky little try i'm also conflicted as now beale will more than likely try it one too many times

 

[ChargerWA]

Keeps has just cause to punch Phipps after that scrum.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Good work from Hooper.

Whoa! I think the Rebels are in. Great work at the scrum Burgo. Lazy from Phipps, not even looking.

PS. Love the old school jersey style for the Rebels this year.

 

[A mutterer]

very sloppy from phipps, good to see timani get over though - he is looking really like he will be pulling on the gold

 

[louie]

refs performance a bit lazy. Breakdown is a mess.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Amateur hour at AAMI.

Well played by the Mexicans to draw close at oranges.

 

[Ash]

Phipps is having a shocker. Quite a few passes to no-one and now a scrum mistake that cost them a try.

Timani has been a pleasant surprise at lock so far this season.

And that try saving effort from Hooper was crazy.

 

[oztimmay]

Clearly red wearing blue at the breakdown. Missing tons of stuff. Rebels well in this. Tahs scrum not so impressive, cost them a try.

 

[Ash]

Yeah, Gardner is letting both teams enter from the side and flop over the ruck. The most shocking was from Skelton, I think, before the Tahs try where he basically just dived over the ruck right in front of the ref.

Gardner irks me a bit because he is inconsistent at ruck time.

 

[ChargerWA]

Tahs are playing quite well. But a determined Rebels effort keeping them in check. A really good contest.

 

[Merrow]

With 64% possession they should be further ahead.

 

[ChargerWA]

Ahhh,So that's the point of Naiyavravoro.

 

[A mutterer]

what a great rolling maul - loved it being pulled forward by the big willy
