I'd like to see Gregory run it a bit more, he doing the basics well at 12, but seems to just be moving the ball on but we know he has some pace and power, needs to back himself

[Kiwiwomble]

Get in Collins!

[Kiwiwomble]

Stan commentator talking about how the nz teams won’t be able to keep up if the Aussie ones can keep the ball moving....

[Bones]

Hah Toomua was pretty lucky there.

Why is Joane running straight into the biggest guys on the park?

[Crazy Horse]

Not a great start from Ioane. Smith looked pissed at him after the second shitty carry.

[nzzp]

So ... high tackles are just a penalty now? Framework ... pffft.

Also, goddamn that Aaron smith pickup and offload in tha ttry was sex on toast. Holy shit I got excited

[taniwharugby]

Couple of great hits by Lentjes so far, then nicely worked try

[Kiwiwomble]

That is one of our best tries this year at least, a turn over, line break, amazing hands from some of the low numbers and then send it wide

[Donsteppa]

Nicely worked try. Rebels blindside looked like a prop trying to get across in cover at the end there.

Two! Missed the first one it was so quick!

[gt12]

Omg Smith with the catch pass. Fucking hell.

[gt12]

That’s why we should compare every other half back to TJP or Weber. No one else is in the same league universe in this country.

[Kiwiwomble]

@gt12 it’s criminal he hasn’t won world player of the year

[gt12]

I like that Rebels jersey.

It’s the best alternate strip in the comp.

[Bones]

Bloody hell rebels pushing the limits, own worst enemy.

[Kiwiwomble]

@gt12 should be their home, too many blue jerseys in the comp

[Bones]

Fuck off he wasn't on his feet

[taniwharugby]

That pass of smiths

[Kiwiwomble]

Ioane really struggling, just looks out of position
