Rebels v Brumbies

[Duluth]

Every time the Rebels get in a position to attack they’ve screwed it up. Over thrown lineout, scrum angle penalty

[Duluth]

Good pace from the Brumbies no8

Man this Rebels team is shit. Schoolboy errors to the point where they can't string more than 1 phase together, and no resistance on d. A lot of these guys are Wallabies players too.

Rebels just plod along from one mediocre coach to another.

Not sure they've had a single decent coach in their existence. They tried to get Hamateur as their inaugural coach ffs.

Brumbies 8 looks good

[African Monkey]

@Duluth The potential is there for them to do something as well, but they can't seem to do the basics.

[antipodean]

Imagine being a winger who can't beat a forward over 40m

[antipodean]

So Carter-Gordon kicks the ball dead while trying to kick for touch. Sums up the Rebels tbh.

[Duluth]

Again they can’t execute on an attacking lineout

[antipodean]

Player with topknot can't tackle and the Rebels get a try from a 5m scrum.

But it won't stand for some blatant and unnecessary cheating by the openside holding back his opponent from not getting across. Not that he would've IMO.

[Duluth]

Haha and it’s called back. Ekuasi holding a defender

scrum angle penalty

Desperately unlucky with that scrum before half time. Brumbies hooker had his knee on the deck - should have any yellow card against the ponies given the warning that happened just before. Rebels dominated the pony scrum

[NTA]

But yeah Rebels are pretty good at fucking up every opportunity they get

[NTA]

I'm up to the 58th minute. Brumbies are deciding where the offside line is.

[antipodean]

Questions need to be asked of a Brumbies team that can only score 25 points with four minutes to go against this abjectly horrid opposition.

Did not finish off a line break. Did not create many line breaks to finish. Two tries from kicks ahead which says more about the rebels defensive positioning than anything.

Lolesio still not a very good 10

You can also dive straight off your feet at rucks too. Gardner showing refereeing is like playing for the Australian cricket team; harder to get out than in.

Lacked consistency at the ruck too
A couple of fairly identical rucks went the way of the team in white either side of the ball

[NTA]

My god the handling from both teams is awful.

So pretty much what I expect from the Australian system

5:05 in that video - wtf? Yes it's an easy three points, but you're down big and it's a free shot at 7 ffs. Doesn't exactly seem like their hearts are in it.
