Rebs have started off well, although To’omua was nearly cut in half there...

Will catch it once home.

Havent embraced the constituent SR as much as 2020 (think i watched every match).

How is the new (possible) AU 9-10 combo shaping?

Where TF is the game on Sky? Can't find it. :evil:

{EDIT} FFS
Sky Sports has been the long-running broadcaster of matches from the southern hemisphere’s big club competition in the UK, but its rights deal came to an end last year.

There is still no UK broadcast deal in place for Australia’s Super Rugby AU, which kicked off last weekend, but RugbyPass will now deliver coverage of the Aotearoa competition through its OTT streaming service.

PS Thanks for the link ASMO. Was not expecting to have to use one.

Makes me even more loathe to pay Sky ***ts money. Good to see Merde-Dog Inc supporting Aus sport. :thumbdown:

Dave Wessels doing great with the Rebels. Reds also in great form.

It’s turned into a bit of a penalty fest. 12-6 Rebs at the half.

We'll see !

The problem is, that it's not a question of training a new technique; it's a player needing to use their intelligence to decide whether or not to make the clearout.

Reds deserve this. Have been far the more threatening even when down to 14.

It was an entertaining game.

I thought the Rebels were much more intelligent than the Highlanders in the early game by accumulating, but sadly suspected the Reds would overrun them in the later stages.

Despite the red card I was proved correct. A pessimist is seldom disappointed. You can't argue with a 0-2 try count though, just take your lumps.
