@mariner4life They looked shit even for the first 15 or so minutes after the Reds were red-carded. They didn't look comfortable until the Reds were carded again.
Their win over the 14-man Reds meant nothing.
The Sunwolves are better than the 14-man Reds.

No one pointing out how bad the Brumbies looked?
-
@tim Yeah thought the same about the Rebels. Having said that I think they will improve, they have a decent enough side to do something in the Aussie conference.

@african-monkey and a well regarded coach.

@tim Geez, another one of their AB forwards injured.
It won't happen, but I'd find this the perfect opportunity to shift Taufua to openside and see how he does in the 7 jersey. I don't think he has ever played there, though, so they won't risk it.

@kiwimurph The Herald does a terrible job promoting, or even linking to, their podcasts. It's moved to "Spreaker" now.

Fuck, that's just really bad luck for the lad. This might cost him that AB 22 jersey if he needs surgery.
A suspected broken jaw could force Richie Mo'unga to take a lengthy break from the Crusaders' Super Rugby campaign. First five-eighth Mo'unga had to leave AMI Stadium in the final minutes of the Crusaders' 45-28 win over the Stormers in Christchurch on Saturday night, having suffered his injury while attempting to prevent Stormers replacement prop Steven Kitshoff from scoring a try. Crusaders coach Scott Robertson said Mo'unga was taken straight to hospital for X-rays, but it was too early to state how long he will be unavailable for. If surgery is required, the All Black could potentially be out of action for several months.Also:
Mo'unga joins fellow All Blacks Kieran Read, Matt Todd, Israel Dagg, Owen Franks, Joe Moody and Tim Perry in the Crusaders' casualty ward. Blindside flanker Pete Samu had to be replaced in the second half after injuring his shoulder, and midfielder Ryan Crotty was taken off the park because of cramps in his calf muscle. -
Bugger, i was thinking during the game how we probably weren't going to miss Lima that much for the ABs because Mounga is a very similar player who could actually be or become an upgrade. I hope he isn't out too long. Dmac as back up AB 10 is not something that fills me with confidence.

Rebels fans should cherish this table, because it won't last. They've only played the Reds and Sunwolves. Next week they'll play the Brumbies at home, and the Tahs away a week later. Reality may only set in in week 6 when they'll host the Sharks, or week 7 when they take on their first Kiwi team (Canes).
