Would love to see the Rebels take this.

Rebels have started well

@Duluth They can look dangerous when their loose forwards get the short passes going.

..and Kellaway gets plenty of touches

Brumbies getting a roll on in the middle of the field now. Very similar game plan to the Blues

Same with the Brumbies. The trick is to make a mess of their rucks. Something NZ sides do better more often.

Good period of defence there by the Rebels after Kellaway's error. Normally you'd expect to see them give up a try in that situation.

How the hell is that not lost forward/ a knock on?

Duluth

Brumbies doing it easily now

Quite likely to end the round robin on 52 or 53 points and go into the QFs relatively fresh

Duluth

Poor technique by Tua. Should just stay a YC though

Duluth

One more Rebels try and the Brumbies lose the BP
