Carrrmann Rebels. Very unfamiliar looking line up.

Carrrmann Rebels. Very unfamiliar looking line up.

Rebels did OK in the 2nd half last week. They have a strong squad. Maybe slight favourites for this given how bad QLD were.

[stemoc]

anyone else saw Koroibete last week and wondered who that winger was :P.. wish semi radradra never shaves his beard :P

C'mon REDS!!!

[Koalabyte]

Feck me! I don't know the majority of these players, Reds or Rebels. Going to have to get my fan on.

[Quade]

Weather looks absolute shit.

[Zig]

Brookvale Oval looks like a GAA ground from the '90s.
Fans sitting on grassy embankments in pissing rain swigging cans.

[Quade]

REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Akkerman]

who the fk approved those kits

[Quade]

JOC

[Koalabyte]

Reds scrum looking the goods.

[CrazyIslander]

JOC and Toomua two shocking kicks each. We are really down in quality here

[Quade]

Reds are not quite dominating here.

[Koalabyte]

Reds keep relieving pressure with basic mistakes.

[Zig]

So many mistakes in this game.

[Quade]

Terrible in the wet

Thanks, Akkerman.

Much better setting for club / regional rugby than an 90% empty 60,000 seater stadium. I speak from experience as an Edinburgh fan used to watching games in Murrayfield with a crowd of 4000.

[CrazyIslander]

Tupou having a shocker

Thanks, Akkerman.

Basics are horrendous. Shouldn't be so adventurous, play wet weather rugby. It is the percentage/smart rugby for the conditions.

Yeah, but the Reds looked really dangerous then with some enterprising play.

[stemoc]

too much kicking, playing AFL :/

Aussies always struggle in the rain. I base this on Scotland beating them in 2009 and 2012.

Definitely.

Good choice of venue, pity the game is so poor.

[Akkerman]

this is appalling

[Akkerman]

take the fkn points on offer morans

[FujiKiwi]

"You need some hookers who can throw" Was that Kafe?

[FujiKiwi]

Not as dire a game as some are suggesting. Reasonably entertaining when you don't have a dog in the fight.

On a sunny day, this would be a really fun match to watch.

[stemoc]

Hamish stewart is a shit player, have known that for 2 years now..

[Quade]

Worst half of rugby I have ever seen.

[ASMO]

6-0 at half time, its a bit of a cripplefight

[CrazyIslander]

Im impressed with the hardness of the hits by the young Rebels forwards. Fraser has been good for Reds. I can see a decent pack for the Wobs coming through.

[CrazyIslander]

6-0 at half time, its a bit of a cripplefight

The ball is a bit dewey.

[stemoc]

very lateral pass, TRY!

[Biffer]

Worst half of rugby I have ever seen.

Fella, you need to broaden your horizons.

[hareaway]

Bit of a knock on there but hey ho
