Super Rugby AU Round 6 Rebels v Brumbies, 7.05pm Leichhardt Oval, Friday 7th August

[Bobby Sands]

Naisaraini makes a big difference for the Rebels, he offers the reliable go forward they need to play a bit of actual rugby.

So does Wilkin.

He was a full on rugby prodigy early on.

Injuries slowed him down.

 

[dru]

tonight will be good development for players of both teams, they don't get enough opportunities to play in this kind of weather

I like that bot teams are passing and playing. It might be NH weather but it's not a NH slug fest.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Banks.Wow.

 

[Adam84]

Banks is garbage. Wow.

nah he isn't. Rebels kicking game from Deegan and To'omua tonight is just spot-on

 

[dru]

Banks.Wow.

I see a theme.

TBF if there is a team playing tonight hoping to dominate the WBs, so far it is not the Brumbies.

 

[Adam84]

Full credit to the game control from To'omua and Deegan tonight, outclassing Powell and Kuenzel.
Even Lomanis decision making has been first rate, which he has struggled with previously

I think these Brumbies will cop a rocket at halftime

+1 on the Rebel halves.

 

[KOB1987]

Rebels playing like their roster reads.

 

[dru]

And Deegan's ace kicking continues.

 

[dru]

YC after the bell. Tom you muppet.

 

[Uh huh]

The Brumbies are just getting murdered without a flyhalf. Hansen should get a start next round.

 

[Scooter]

And Deegan's ace kicking continues.

Isn't it amazing what Deegan shows when he actually gets some game time.

 

[dru]

Bad luck at the end there for Rebels.

Rebels are chewing up Brumbies. Plenty of reputations on the line tonight all of them wearing gold.

 

[Scooter]

Slightly disappointing way to finish. But that could be the best half that the Rebels have ever played. Lets hope we keep it going in the second half.

 

[A mutterer]

clearly the rebs night so far, but consistency hasnt really been their thing

 

[KevinO]

Great half, another 40 like that will be nice.

If you had to pick the Wallabies 15 off this game it's Hodge over Banks by a mile. Rebels forwards want it more but the main difference has been the Rebels 10/12 combo

I really thought the Brumbies pack would own these conditions, but the real point of difference has been in the halves. Deegan, Lomani and To'omua are with 20+ points at half-time.

 

[Bobby Sands]

The Rebs are good in the slop.

 

[dru]

The Rebs are good in the slop.

Yeah, but the're good through the halves! For me at least unexpected in a wet night.

 

[molman]

Enjoying the energy from the Rebels tonight. They've really rattled the Brumbies.
