Highlanders v Rebels
-
@Stockcar86 That was a sweet offload off the deck from the Barracuda
-
Franklin with the worlds biggest spin dummy for a try to Whitelock
-
Man Fekitoa is frustrating to watch. So good on defence but a bumbling mess on attack. Having said that he did well to score that try. It looks like he is almost over thinking it in attack. Stutter step left stutter step right. Then left again and drops the ball.
Li looking decent again tonight.
Dare i say it but i don't think Luke Whitelick would look out of place in the ABs now.
Would pick him before Elliot Dixon and with Luatua leaving and Shields having tits for hands, Whitelock might be a shot to compete with Squire for the back up 6/8 role. -
Whitelock playing well enough to keep Squire out of the starting side when he returns from injury. Maybe Hansen was right when he saw something in him a couple of years ago

C'mon Highlanders - less side to sidey and more up the gutsy
-
Bucky!

30-5. Game over

@pukunui Why alienate both sets of fans? Melbourne doesn't need a team
To satisfy the apparent need to grow the game in new markets bla bla bla.
That really is the only reason the rebels exist. Not to represent some untapped player pool in victoria. Brumbies have history and are competative but it appears their organisation is a mess. So yeah a merger but under the Brumbies banner while sorting out the managent of the Brumbies franchise.The Force at least offer a geographical benefit being a stepping stone from SA back to the eastern states and NZ.

The Rebels were so bad. The Highlanders were disappointing and made a bucket load of mistakes themselves and yet were able to destroy them.
Remember this is the Rebels that got creamed by the Blues and had the Chiefs play them while asleep for 70 minutes yet still get a BP win.
