^ I'd have to check but I think it's tries scored & on that basis CruSadists would go through IF they score three tonight which realistically they'd have to in order to level-up on PD.
Edit: four tries, not three: Clan currently lead that stat 30-27.

"Tie breaking rules
"In the event of two or more teams being equal on competition points for any position on the Competition table, either during or at the end of the season, such position will be decided upon using the following steps until the tie is broken:
"a) Most wins from all matches;
"b) Highest aggregate points difference from all matches;
"c) Most tries from all matches;
"d) Highest aggregate difference of total tries for versus tries scored against from all matches;
e) Coin toss"

As above Clan lead 30-27 on tries scored, also 17-13 on net tries for & against (30-13 v 27-14).

End of the day it’s a massive opportunity for the Rebels, nobody expects anything from us and a lot of kids getting exposed through injury. Even if we lose it matters little I just want to see the boys go out and rip in. Prove that they belong in the match day 23 and aren’t just making up the numbers.

Yep, if we can get 1 player that looks like they can make the grade from the untested players from today, then that’s a positive for next season.

That’s it, they should just keep it simple. If they focus structured rugby they will fall down as all the experienced guys are out. Just focus on the basics, one on one tackles, no one out runners and just let the boys play what’s in front of them on attack. If it doesn’t work that’s fine but I would hate to see us going in just trying to limit the damage. I would rather get flogged trying to take them on then lose by 20 odd trying to limit the damage

I’d be happy if we just prevent the Crusaders from winning another bloody trophy lol

Yep tough gig for rebels but chance to see if some of the squad players can make the step up and test themselves against the best. Rebels have been solid last few weeks and even last week after being 19-0 down and could have run away from them showed some fight to come back and make a contest of it for a while.

Don't understand taking the tap surely the scrum is a better option in terms of de-populating the Rebs D line.

I don't think we miss much with Anderson missing, I'm still not sure about Ili yet either but the rest leave a few gaps.

I was impressed with Anderson in SuperAu but looked lost in TT.

Why is it when the kiwis get a penalty in their own half their kickers chew off 30-35m. When the Aussies get one we are lucky to take 20m

Dallas McLeod does not look in a good way........
Edit: Running straight into Lomani's hip will do that to ya. Probably the end of him for the day, on top of losing Havili late.
