Rebels v Hurricanes

[booboo]

Viewers of Kick and Chase on Foxtel picked Rebels by 52% to 48%.

Aussies nothing if not optimistic.

@crucial Their defence gave up after the Tahs got close. Rather bouncy tries in that match for both teams I reckon.

From what I have seen so far, I think the Tahs will win the Aussie conference, with Hooper, Foley, Beale and Folau they have the best players of that bunch and their supporting cast is just as average as the other teams(or maybe a bit better).

Crunch time. How good are the Rebels really? First Aussie - Kiwi game.

[gt12]

Rebels look legit so far.

[gt12]

Canes seem to have worked out how to break them down, they just need to keep at it. Plenty of opportunity with that short ball on the inside around the ruck.

[Stargazer]

Lam in the corner, but checking for touch... Looked good to me.

[gt12]

Good try! Really good attack, turnover and advantage taken.

[No Quarter]

TJPs support play is amazing, he's always on hand to capitalise on half breaks up the middle.

[Stargazer]

Bugger. That intercept non-try looked so awesome.

[No Quarter]

Beauden brilliant.

Very tough call on the offside to rub out the try.

[gt12]

3-8 after 12, and the Canrs have points both times they got down the Rebels end. Keep that up and they’ll be right.

Intercept, but called back.

Look at the fucking number of dummy runners they have in front of the ball. That’s a fucking joke.

[gt12]

6-8 and both teams get points with territory.

[Stargazer]

You could see that intercept coming.

[No Quarter]

Boom! Lam with the HIT!

[canefan]

The Melbourne 11 was a mile offside off BBs last cross kick.

[Nepia]

WTF was Fatty Savea doing then, didn't chase the kick hard, then took an age to get back on side.

Is he just plain unfit?

[gt12]

That was so easily read.

Lam with a massive hit.

[gt12]

J Barrett needs to work on his passing. Or Savea is overrunning.

[Stargazer]

Another penalty, and the Rebels are in front. C'mon Canes, time to show who's boss!

[Bones]

Ref says Genia ran straight into him but still gives the extra ten...
