An enjoyable watch so far. Good ball movement.

[Stargazer]

Lolesio running a great line there, for his 2nd try. He's started the game very well.

[KiwiMurph]

14-7 Brumbies.

2 tries to Lolesio

[Stargazer]

Rebels hit back straight away.

[KiwiMurph]

Carter Gordon hits back with a lovely wide pass - good player to watch

[Stargazer]

And a great kick from Reece Hodge.

14 all

[KiwiMurph]

Turinui really laying into Doleman cripes

[KiwiMurph]

The question will be can the Rebels keep in the contest 2nd half or will they fade away like they have done a lot of games this year.

[KiwiMurph]

21-14 Brumbs halftime

[Stargazer]

Aussie commentators talking about the hooker packing the ball in his jersey and run with it.

I remember that - I think - from the NPC. Can't remember who it was, but I know I've seen it before.

[Stargazer]

What a pass from Carter Gordon! Great try and well-deserved as the Rebels have been close a few times.

Bobby V too much class

[Stargazer]

The Rebels look tired, but not giving up just yet.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try. Carter Gordon straight through the hole in the defence.

[Stargazer]

Come on Rebels!

[Stargazer]

Swain to the bin haha. There you go, swine!

[Stargazer]

That was a great game. Rebels really pushing the Brumbies. Would have loved to see this go to extra time.

FT: Rebels 26 - 33 Brumbies
