Reds v Rebels Rd 14, 2015

[emuarse]

In all fairness how many club games has McIntyre been fit for? Maybe Graham finally had another flyhalf option to select?

It seems Frisby also got a head knock last week and it won't be determined whether he'll be on the pine until game day.
So obviously someone had to be selected for the No10 spot. It will be interesting but don't expect too much with McIntyre.

You mean we can't call for his head if he isn't MOTM on début? no fair.

While I fully expected the Rebels to beat the Blues, I was equally certain that they couldn't do it with a BP.

But they did.

So, in the spirit of not fucking with the Gods of Fate, I am going to say that the Rebels should beat the Reds, but I don't expect them to have a BP win.

But now that you have called it beforehand - the same rules no longer apply

Calling it out on the internet doesn't count.

whats thoughts on the two young fly halves? Isn't McIntyre only jsut back from injury? could be seeing 40mins each or something

He has been playing QPR for a month, he should be fit enough

oh true, how has he been going? i was under the impression this was one of his first back.

The Reds latest addition, the wonderful Sam Greene

 

[Forcefield]

There haven't been any draws so far this season. Could this one be the first?

Ah, fuck it. I'm on the finals bandwagon and it is full steam ahead coming into the pointy end.

Rebels by 20 and a BP.

Yeah, that's right. I said it.

See you around the water cooler on Monday.

 

[RugbyReg]

Agreed. If they rebels don't win with that team then they aren't legitimate finals contenders.

 

[gel]

I think it would be an amazing turnaround for the reds to be able to win against an in form rebels team. I don't know what, if any, impact knuckles could have in just a few days but it will be interesting to see.

I want the reds to win, but also think it would be great to see the Rebels get into the finals this year.

I don't really mind who wins, so I just hope for an entertaining game.

 

[Sully]

Yeh Reg. If they don't win they're a bunch of girly men.

Reds to win by 10

 

[Lindommer]

This Reds team selection looks like one of the most sensible all season; a proven five-eight wearing the 10 jumper for starters, who woulda thunk? And JOC (James O'Connor) out the back where he's put in so many sterling performances in gold. BUT, call me a shit-stirrer, if the Rebels get up for this one surely RG's gotta fall on his sword on Monday. Which can only be a good thing for both Queensland and Oz rugby. A game I'd like to be at as a reasonably disinterested spectator.

I would have thought most Tahs fans would be a bit more interested in the outcome of this game, given the Rebels are going to be sitting above your lot by the end of the weekend.
