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

[Wilson]

Rebels lineout and defence looking very disjointed, there are a few new faces in the starting side but not so many you'd expect this

 

[Wilson]

Might be running on a bit too much emotion with everything going on, Rebels really need their leaders to settle the side a bit

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Jesus, so spear tackles are only a YC this season?

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Lack of basic skills is soul destroying

Say that again. Coupled with just a plodding brand of Rugby. As a neutral this is frustrating the hell out of me.

 

[Tomikin]

Odd first offside call near the line and too the bin. But he has been frustrated with the scrum.

Chalk and cheese when compared to the NZ derby before.

Rebels look like they need another 3 weeks of pre-season.

bleak bleak bleak bleak bleak fuck my life

 

[Brumby Runner]

Absolutely the best rosters in the land, Brumbies season to lose surely!
Excited to watch Reimer destroy the opposition ruck!

Must be creaming the dacks by now hey Adam.

What really annoys me is that it's the same every season. No one ever seems to learn from failed campaign after failed campaign. Come on guys. Skills can be refined and built on. Why are we still tearing our hair out?

 

[RugbyReg]

Reimer and Loloesio very good for the Brumbies.

Kellaway the standout for the Rebels but that’s not too hard. In fact Rob Leota has been pretty damn good too.

 

[Dan54]

Disappointing perhaps. Not unexpected undoubtedly

I didn't think crowd looks bad considering the time they have had to buy tickets etc.

 

[Pokinacha]

Rebels look like they need another 3 weeks of pre-season

I don’t think that’s going to make much difference. Maybe 6 weeks?

It's better than I thought they'd have. What could be considered disappointing is this was the time for the community to come out and show their support in the current climate. But to be fair to them. They aren't missing much.

 

[Dctarget]

The lineout is so bleak. Tackling shit. Ball retention shit.

scrum a slight positive.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Uelese is absolutely useless.

Reimer proving he’s the best on ball 7 in Aus.

 

[Dctarget]

Hey did one of our players not get taken out in the air? No replay for us

 

[Wilson]

Gardner called it a fair contest at the time

 

[Dctarget]

Gardner called it a fair contest at the time

Was it?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Was it?

It was fine. Collision with both trying to grab it.

 

[Dctarget]

I love the Carter v Noah, good stuff
