Rebels v Force

[Stargazer]

HT: Rebels 19 -7 Force

Rebels dominated possession in that first half. That might have an effect later.. and the Rebels have some good carriers in the forward subs

[Stargazer]

Correct decision. Wasn't forward.

Ref is going well. Clear communication.

55 mins and the contrast with the previous game couldn't be more stark.

[Duluth]

Huh a real push over try. So used to teams collapsing and hoping the ref doesn’t have the balls to make a call

[antipodean]

Excellent refereeing again. Reversing a clear turnover penalty because the Rebels were dickwads.

45-14 Rebels 5mins left

One more converted try would equal the Rebels highest score

[Stargazer]

The Rebels are totally dominating the Force. The Force not getting a losing bonus point is good for the Highlanders.

52 - 14 Rebels

[antipodean]

That converted try to equal their previous best score was too easy. Almost a complete lack of communication and execution from the Force in the last five minutes. Rebels with the better squad and coaching.

A successful penalty shot at goal will give them their highest score, but they're going for a lineout in the corner.

Force look dreadful even against the Rebels. Which suggests the worst rugby game one could watch would probably be MP vs Force.

If anyone cares the other time they got 52 points was in 2019 vs Sunwolves in Tokyo (52-7)
