Wallabies v Wales Game 2 Sat 13 July Melbourne

[swingpass]

Agree but if the Rebels had on field success more would give several fucks, eg the Tahs home attendances have mirrored their success or lack thereof. Likewise numbers at Suncorp. Anyway the Rebels are dead, there won’t be another pro team in Melbourne and we should discuss tonight's game, not ancient and unchangeable history.

 

[Derpus]

Tahs still get significantly more than the Rebels.

 

[Slim 293]

Sully, yes and no. The genesis of this is long and multifactorial, death by a thousand cuts if you like.blame.

I’m not sure what they were overly confident about…

The Force were by far the obvious choice back then, with a better bid and Perth having a stronger rugby profile at the time, backed by a strong Saffa and English expat community.

I’ve said it before, but as a neutral I wasn’t expecting the fourth team to be located anywhere else.

All 50 of the rebel army are protesting

What a completely asinine arse-wipe of a statement. In the mean time, if we step outside of the situation with the Rebels, there is actually a test happening...

Great to see Len, Tate and Wrongers out doing a clinic with the kids at Albert Park this morning.

I am excited to see how this backrow performs as I have suggested this combo several times. With bobby driving hard at 6 and Cale covering the wide channels and D in the centre with McRight doing what he does well it should be interesting. Now all I want is strong breakdown work both in attack and D.

 

[LeCheese]

Wales will be loving to see a bit of rain in the warmup

 

[Wilson]

I don't know, not sure they'll be too keen on anything that leads to more scrums after last week

 

[LeCheese]

Fair point

 

[Rugby King]

Don’t know how to make a new comment.

why does RA still have SBW on the team???

he denies Oct 7th even happened!!!!!

 

[rugbyAU]

Agreed not only an extremist on that front but a crap commentator.

 

[Adam84]

he is dire, but its not RA, its Stan

 

[LeCheese]

1) He's not RA's employee, he's Stan's
2) Please, please, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, let's not get political in this thread too

 

[Adam84]

Given the conditions, I think we will miss Wrights input at the lineout…

Gordons kicking will be instrumental tonight

 

[rugbyAU]

We should be looking to make a statement win here (i.e. win by 15-20+ if we want to challenge RSA and NZ later)

 

[KOB1987]

Weather looks awful. Wallabies by 26

 

[Goosestep]

We just can’t do pre game entertainment smh

 

[LeCheese]

Stuff yas, the pre-game wasn't bad by any means

 

[Adam84]

I don't get the fuss, I thought the pre-game entertainment was pretty good

 

[rugbyAU]

a lot of empty seats...
