Super Rugby AU 2021 -Rd 4 - Force v Rebels - Fri 12/3

[Dctarget]

Well, great defence by the WF holding out the Rebels.

 

[Scooter]

Rebels dominating, before Cubelli break, but alas no points on the board.

 

[Dctarget]

Great work by Rebels undone by a miserable pass from Hodge.

Sounds familiar.

Kearney!

 

[Scooter]

Rob Kearney, absolutely brilliant.

 

[Dctarget]

Kearney!

Along with two crucial tackles too!

 

[Dctarget]

What a defensive set by the Rebels there.

Yeh dru you know big force supporter as to me suicide to reduce oz rugby footprint and wa as key growth area for rugby important part of cog, but also still think we need Vic team as part of national rugby footprint plus yes lived in Melbourne for good part of a decade so some personal affinity there.

I never wanted force or rebels cut for confirmation btw. And sooner we realise should never cut back from 5 to 4 teams we stop this force vs rebels negativity as I support both teams!

 

[Dctarget]

Jeez the ball has been loose tonight. Rebels have had a few great turnovers but not kept it tidy and WF kick through. Good contest so far.

Agree.

 

[Dctarget]

Kemney trying to push the edge and failing so far.

 

[Scooter]

Is the change in tactic by Rebels showing a lack of respect for Force? In last two weeks Rebels have kicked penalties when possible and nearly upset hot favourites. Concerned by the lack of points.

 

[Dctarget]

McIntyre’s boot is killing the force.

 

[Dctarget]

Surely not, Jesus that looked like a try for all money for Hanson.

Edit: tough for WF not for to be called knock on.

 

[Dctarget]

First try of the season! Well worked and goes to Anderson who’s been the biggest surprise to me so far. Really thought he was just a stop gap but his strength in contact is great.

 

[Dctarget]

Wonder how much the addition of Powell is helping the Rebels. I think a lot.

 

[Dctarget]

Damn very lucky for WF that Pone has a huge ass.

 

[Dctarget]

Much better decision having Kearney kick for sideline than popgun Jake.

 

[Dctarget]

Good hit by Tevita on Pone.
