[Scooter]

Two great tackles from Wilkin and Magnay.

 

[dru]

Lomani has had a great stint. Time for Tuttle though.

 

[dru]

Yeah Banks not having a good night. And Hodge has been solid.

 

[KOB1987]

Hasn’t been a great audition for NZ conditions for Banks, especially if we are going to play all 4 there.

 

[rugboy]

Banks really hasn't had a good game since the restart

 

[KOB1987]

Banks really hasn't had a good game since the restart

Agreed. Allegedly it’s because he’s recovering from a foot injury but will come good.

 

[dru]

Agreed. Allegedly it’s because he’s recovering from a foot injury but will come good.

Strange allegation. Tonight he just wasn't good enough. By a gap.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Rebels better in every area tonight, led by their kicking.
Good wet weather play and didn't have to do much in the 2nd half after a dominant first half.

Lots to work on for the Brumbies with a bye week after this.

 

[Up the Guts]

Welfare check for one Brumby Runner

 

[rugboy]

Agreed. Allegedly it’s because he’s recovering from a foot injury but will come good.

I don't get it, if it's that much of an issue why don't they rest him? They are clearly headed for the finals. They could have played Wright there tonight instead of resting him with Kata and Muirhead on the wings. Id like to see Wright in space at the back.

 

[Dctarget]

fuck yeah Rebels, after serving up some absolutely shite games earlier on you'd be forgiven to think this would be a miserable match. But good on ya Melbourne you stood up.

 

[Wilson]

That was diabolical from the brumbies and outstanding from the rebels.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

The Tahs and Reds came close but the Rebels are able to crack it and provide the loss the Brumbies have avoided by the slimmest of margin over the past few weeks.
