SR2023 R3 - Rebels vs Waratahs Friday 10 March @ 7.35pm

Waratahs capitulated and the Rebels blitzed them in front of an adoring crowd of three. Chick along the row from me legit had headphones on and is watching her phone.

That was a little harsh. We all invited our mother's so it was an adoring crowd of 6 thank you very much

In fairness that's pretty normal for chicks at footy games.

Donaldson aint it mate. Hes got a great kick - for sure. The rest? Nothing.

Let’s see when he’s back at 10 eh?

 

[AFL_Converted]

Damn. We surrendered a winning bonus point by giving up that last soft try

The broadcasters should borrow the NRL’s crowd sound effects. They even had it running during the COVID crowd lockouts

Yes. Played pretty well in the second half. Predictable in the first. Edmed made him look great.

Mate, mostly 10 does not play on 10. They tend to be marked by 7, and 6. And there is nothing wrong with a class player building into a game.

 

[swingpass]

Nice win but should have closed out the last few mins and definitely poor to let in the last try, still some pretty good signs, more control, less stupidity thats for sure Defence needs work

 

[Lightblue]

On the crowd…. shows two weeks in a row for Melbourne people is too much rugby…

 

[Dan54]

As a complete neutral, I reaĺy enjoyed game, and the underdog winning makes it better. To all our Rebel supporters on here, you can be very proud of the performance, and I hope sets up weekend for you all. Your boys went well last weekend, and carried that momentum tjis week.
Enjoy fellas!

Gordon is 22 years old. About time for him to be anointed the great saviour of Australian rugby and to crush him with unreasonable expectations.

Dickie Hardwick is the best thing to come from Perth. What an absolute champ, lovely bloke and I'm so stoked to see him getting the well-deserved respect.

 

[Adam84]

I didn't know there was such a thing as pre season champions - who was it?

And the supporter bagging ban only extends to the other team's supporters, not their players.

The pre-season champions are the fans….

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

Rebels looking good.

Hardwick, Gordon the best two out there. I liked their attack- willing to shift to soft edges and take some chances. A nice style of rugby.

Tahs crumbling under expectations. I’ve said the positional switches that I would make. But their attack shape is also pretty easy to d against. They need something else or teams have them covered that’s for sure.

 

[Sam Old]

Rebels deserved that. Well played

Yep bring on Willy H - however him at 15 with Donaldson at 10 can create that something else as well.

Yep solid big strong rebels pack, impressive performance

I like this option. Harrison has some X factor about him that would be dangerous from the back.

 

[Drew]

Tahs short passes works, out the back is hit and miss, too predictable

I haven’t really ever rated Stacy Ili but he has been outstanding this season and was again tonight. I think he’s been the Rebels’ best so far this year.

Not that we have shortages at 12, but is he eligible for the wallabies?
