Rebels v Hurricanes

[Dice]

Rebels have no attack without Mafi.

[Dice]

Barely noticed Fifita in this game.

[Stargazer]

Boyd has emptied the bench. Except halfback. TJ still on the field.

Clearly Fatty is better just roaming - he was useful then, and Laumape did the job on the wing.

He's been Super Rugby quality this season, just not All Black quality. He still goes searching for contact way too much when he has the ball.

[Stargazer]

Penalty try?

[Machpants]

No, I'm not sure why

[No Quarter]

Clear yellow, Gardiner suddenly waking up. Guess it didn't directly stop a try being scored so fair call.

[hydro11]

Feel sorry for Meaks there. He is trying to stop the player from scoring a try. Players can reach out now so if he releases Aumua, Aumua just goes and scores.

That’s weak by JTA. Giving them territory and ball is a bad idea. That’s what kept them in it in the 1st half. Without Maki, the Canes should win this going away.

You can tell I once dated a girl called Maki.

Maki-chan!

Actually, Macha-chan between friends.

Gal hostess.

The memories.

That’s a bit weak there by Gardner. Not sure that needs calling - it happens constantly.

[Stargazer]

Hat-trick Lam. But it was thanks to Booth's quick tap.

[gt12]

Multiple penalties at that breakdown. Over the top with a hit to the head as well. Wonder if that’ll be picked up?

[hydro11]

So the Aussie teams still have a fair way to go, I guess?

[KiwiMurph]

Crowd 16,135.

Thats the biggest crowd at a Rebels game in a long time.

[No Quarter]

Rebels ran out of gas at around the 60 minute mark, and without Mafi don't offer much at the back end of the game.

@no-quarter

I forgot how good the Canes defense has become. I expected this game to be 50-38. Rebel’s haven’t kept up their end.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Lots of yellow jerseys.

[No Quarter]

Jules would have scored that every time a few years back.
