Super Rugby Rd. 7. Rebels v Hurricanes at AAMI Park, Friday 30th @ 7.30pm

Gee that's a harsh penalty. Only called it when Rebels got the ball.

 

[Derpus]

Game over.

 

[Dctarget]

Glad that Gardner didn't call TJ back for a correct tap, that stuff really ruins a good game.

Rebels have been disappointing last 20 minutes....Koriobete has he even touched the ball more than 2 times for the match...needs to work out better how to involve himself...

 

[Dctarget]

Big swap in for Uelese, pressure line out throw.

 

[Derpus]

Yeesh.

 

[Derpus]

This won't even be an honorable loss, the Rebels are playing terribly.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Rebels been really poor in second half....really disappointing after their first 30 minutes where they were playing more to their potential....finishers been disappointing.....

 

[Dctarget]

Over 16,000 fans, that's very very good.

 

[Dctarget]

But yes, the starting and bench loose forwards have been bleeding penalties, good intent just not working out.

 

[Derpus]

So, Maddocks is playing horribly and they fail to get the ball to their best outside back a single time. Legit, the team is built on Mafi and no one else.

 

[Derpus]

Holy shit has Debrezceni ever played rugby before?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

This won't even be an honorable loss, the Rebels are playing terribly.

Until oz sides, players and fans realise there is no such thing to focus on as honourable losses might actually mean we are moving forward. Rebels have been shite in second half and looks like a few changes maybe required as they have depth on paper quality wise to not accept what has been mediocrity. Gees shows how good Mafi is with him not being on in second half as Colby and Hardwick been really crap to be really frank....

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Second half for Rebels really been a big let down...just not good enough for the quality they have on their roster...Wessels will be doing a bit of soul searching next week as one needs to accept they have high quality roster to stop BS excuses (and mental defeats before even playing) against NZ sides.

It's getting a bit sad to see the differences in results when the likes of Lam and Aso get the ball vs J.Savea. Can't see how he'll retain his starting spot once the likes of Minler-Skudder and/or Goosen return.

 

[Up the Guts]

Rebels are not the real deal.

 

[Derpus]

So how good is combining two teams into one to increase competitiveness? Sound.

 

[Shiggins]

Rebels panicked. They had a chance to get 3 and back within 2 trys and decided against it. Just missed the try opportunity and it all went to shit.

The score line definately doesnt reflect the game and you don't expect the rebels to beat the best team in the competition.

Hurricanes had a fluke try in the first half that turned the tide as well.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with this squad, they’re playing a poor game plan at the moment and they just switch off for periods

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Sadly Rebels yet again show second half blowout blues....pity they do not play 30 minute rugby as otherwise would look world beaters (re: Tahs and Hurricanes match) but seriously been very disappointing. Seriously wondering if their conditioning is very good and not been worked at enough.
