Daniel Braid ruled out of Blues side.
Blow for the Blues, that.

Edit: He's on the bench, not out completely.



Good start by Rebels, Lipman/Delve did well to force the penalty.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Apparently it was a change in the warm up. Braid is not injured so an interesting call.

BEALE! Great interception try from some good defence from the Rebels.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Beale intercept try out of nowhere, seemed a certain try for the Blues and then he was away.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Freier is off and Robinson is on.

Bryce Lawrence having trouble with his laces :lol:

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rebels playing some good rugby atm

 

[TRF_Cymro]

What a game this is. Bryce not having a great game. Rodzilla with a monster turnover there!

Been disappointed with Saffey mind.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quality try finished off by O'Connor!

 

[madflyhalf]

Blues unlucky!!
A turnover attempt where the ball popped up from a Blues foot, right in Ged Robinson hands!

Good attacks from Rebels though!!


Orrible attacks from Blues instead... they're just spreading the ball, without fixing defender, huge pressure on each pass receiver!

 

[HenryChinaski]

That run by O'conor was....insanely good.

 

[madflyhalf]

God.
O'Connor...

Good lord...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Big defence needed from Rebels for the last few minutes - would be gutting to see them lose after this!



Rebels try on the hooter!
Shame they had the try disallowed earlier so they didn't get the 4try BP.

 

[madflyhalf]

Gareth Delve played very well today IMO.

Good player Luke Jones too... I think we're gonna see him in Wallaby jersey soon!

 

[SomeOke]

Shame poor Blues, they were a bit unlucky at times but Rebels defended brilliantly and took their chances when they had them.
Blues also undone by poor handling of all things.

 

[Bull]

How did the Bulls ever lose to this **** team?

 

[Dizzy]

OMG, after watching that catastrophy, the Blues deserve the log IMO.. They don't seem to have any structure at all, most of their passes were hospital passes and put the reciever under a tremendous amount of pressure, not to mention the ball handling and overall they didn't seem like they had a game plan at all, apart from the scrums. Absolutely shocking performance by a Blues team who have well over enough experience to grind out a win but don't seem to be able to.

 

[Amobokoboko]

What happened with the Blues from last year? I think it's over and out for them for this season.

 

[Draggs]

What is the problem with the Blues?
They have good players. No leader? Poor coaching?

 

[Aedaphon]

... The one time an out and out Rebels fan can gloat, he hasn't worked out it's a Thursday match <_<

As much as I'd like to gloat as a Rebels fan, all this game has done is underlined 5X in red ink that the Blues are done this season.

Still, here's to the Rebels growing in confidence- only 2 hammerings so far this season, things are looking up :lol:

 

[sonnench]

So their only win this season was against the Bulls at Loftus....WTF
