Super Rugby: Round 1. Rebels vs Brumbies - 23 Feb AAMI

[A mutterer]

Brums finally woke up in the second half then

 

[Happy]

Thorn has really upped the pace since he’s been on

 

[RugbyReg]

Cale has slipped into the Samu role well.

 

[PhilClinton]

Carter with errors off set piece twice this half an a few missed tackles

 

[dusk]

Carter has had his worst game I’ve seen (in blue).

The same can be said for about 80% of the Rebels players tonight.

 

[Wilson]

Horan in the first half spoke about how good the match up of 13s is and the proceeds to say Daugunu isn’t really a 13.

What a guy

I don't think it's unrealistic to have been excited about it given Daugunu's form there in a brief stint for the reds last year, it was close to the best he's ever played. Nothing wrong with then facing the reality of a new convert to the position struggling in a new and disjoint backline.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Cale looking like the exact thing our 7s side doesn’t have.

 

[Wilson]

Rebels have rarely started the year well, but this year more than any other they really can't afford to take their time finding their game.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Fairly forlorn experience from an entertainment perspective.

Rebs have been so abjectly luckless that they'll probably get their 3 pts taken away from them post-match for some reason or another and end up losing 30-0.

 

[A mutterer]

And a shit pass to cap it off

Simply trying too hard. Kellaway also.

I have no issue with him being there. Purely the two statements made me laugh. Absolute Horan special.

Think the Rebels have elite Wingers with Vaihu and Daugunu.

 

[rugbyAU]

Fuck how disappointing they just can't play well

 

[Happy]

Happy with the win, but a lot to work on. Too many penalties given away. Rebels were very disjointed.

The only takeaway is the saders lost earlier ...

 

[PhilClinton]

Did Noah’s nose just grow on live TV?

“Thought the Rebels were really good tonight”

 

[Wilson]

I understand the desire to ask Rebels players about the off field drama, but hopefully they put it to the side for the rest of the season. Their going to have a hard time escaping it day to day, let them focus on the rugby when they're on the field.

 

[Equalizer]

Really needed to come out in front of the die-hard fans....and at this stage it is only the die-hard fans, and put on a better effort. Only week 1, but when every week is not guaranteed you need to perform better than that.

They created chances for 3-4 try scoring moments but blew it. Was pressure and emotion coming into it?

Brumbies stifled them to their credit but it’s almost an unlucky first round opponent.

 

[Dctarget]

Depressing that that game felt normal. A complete annihilation 3-30 was just a typical rebels experience.
