Stargazer

Try Hemopo! Yusss!

@Tim 100%

The Rebels might regret not putting the Highlanders away when they should have.

Stargazer

Landers should have gotten the penalty.

Stargazer

C'mon, give Fakatava a few minutes!

Tim

Thought a knee went down.

Stargazer

Fakatava is coming on for his SR debut.

Tim

Was the Rebels' scrum on top in the first half too?

African Monkey

@Stargazer Wouldn't be the worst idea, give them some more energy. Banks has made a difference I feel.

Stargazer

Damn.

Fuck there goes my multi. Rebels a could be a force to be reckoned with this season. Good game.

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah True, although the Landers were missing BFA and Aaron Smith.

KiwiMurph

Fakatava is coming on for his SR debut.

Thought he looked very sharp. Should have got more mins.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph Yeah, esp because Hammington isn't that great.

Machpants

Very much a Landers B team tho, I think that defeat was to be expected

Add toilet boy or BFA to that Highlanders team, and they win. Hemopo was massive. Set piece wonky tho.

Rebels are showing real grit and work ethic, and might just be greater than the sum of their parts.

I'll qualify my previous comment with: something like 10 personnel changes for the clan can't have helped.

Am watching on recording .. will comment a bit more later and am not reading the thread ... but just watched Ngani score his 2nd.

Fuck I am in love with Ngani Laumape

KiwiMurph

@booboo but what about this game?

Crowd was 11,029 in Melbourne. That's an above average crowd for the Rebels - pretty solid on a crazy hot Friday night.
