Super Rugby Rd2 2020: Brumbies v Rebels

[Silverado]

Worst half so far in Rebels history. Some of the big losses in the past have been with depleted teams, no excuse for this one

Just dreadful. I'm out

 

[whitefalcon]

Was Cusack off for HIA or injured?

 

[Adam84]

Rebels looking unfit, uninterested or both.. Samu made a break, and Naisarani just jogged after him.

Get some c@nt about ya mate, that’s a competitor for your wallaby position sprinting away from ya.

Lomani looking dreadful, To'omua been completely outplayed by Lolesio

 

[Slim 293]

Brumbies need to maintain their intensity.......... giving away a few sloppy penalties towards the end there.

Hopefully don't regret not bagging another try after that Samu break, when they needed to spread the ball out.

Wessels won't make it past round 5.

 

[Blackadder]

Wessels won't make it past round 5.

Wessels shouldn't see it past half time

 

[dru]

Brumbies restarting without energy.

 

[Scooter]

Angus Cottrell try scoring machine.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

I never take too much into account when players come on late with fresh legs against tired defences. Having said that he didn't just hide which is encouraging.

Fair point….still be interesting to see what Deegan could do starting at 10 with To'omua at 12 as latter clearly showing not a great 10 option yet we know from past good 12. I am not wanting to write off To'omua as a player if given chance to go back to 12 but at 10 he is just not someone can see a Wallaby solution for 10. Brumbies 10 looking at this stage chance to be that option if keeps improving per current trajectory.

 

[dru]

Now Slipper getting hammered with scrum penalties.

 

[molman]

Why Hodge off?...

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Wessels won't make it past round 5.

Only if he falls on his own sword - as Super Rugby pretty conservative for sacking coaches mid season cf say league....it would take some continued 30+ continual thrashings for that to be a chance...hence my prediction is if Wessels leave mid season is him resigning reading the tea leaves, otherwise seeing out the season and being booted end of season. I just can't see Rebels turning this around as they are playing like they have been for last 15 months which is bunch of individuals thrust together but lacking any team cohesion or team fluidity in their play.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Rebels my favourites for wooden spoon - need to recheck that online betting account as this looks easy money odds wise....so better get this in

 

[AFL_Converted]

For those that have sound,why was that one disallowed?

 

[shanky]

Poor old Keppler Wessels

New bloke letting the side down

 

[AFL_Converted]

Not that it mattered, great indi from Dane

 

[shanky]

For those that have sound,why was that one disallowed?

Changing lanes, truck and trailer

See that offence ignored 9 times out of 10

Maul laws ugh.

 

[Slim 293]

I'm surprised the Brumbies didn't have Lonergan convert that last try?

He's easily the best goal kicker in the squad.........

More practice for your 10 prospect.

 

[shanky]

The stint in league has been great for Wright

He's always had speed. Now he's got defence and a bit mongrel to go with it.

Good on him.
