2014 Super Rugby: Rebels v Cheetahs (Round 3)

[TRF_Olyy]

Great game so far - Rebels all over cheetahs.

Scott Higginbotham did a Danny Cipriani, taking a cheeky crossfield from a penalty 5m out, resulting in a try

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Cheetahs have been very poor.

Goosen, in particular, has completely failed to fire so far this season.

 

[Gena_ZA]

Rebels played very well and Cheetahs had a shocker.
Also the Rebels first game so the theory of having a bye first is bad for you is rubbish.

 

[Jaguares]

Rebels could be the new "Cheetahs 2013"?? Surprising everyone!

Whoa. Just finished watching this match. What a game!! Rebs surprised the hell out of me. They really made it an entertaining and exciting contest.

Higgs finish at the end was pretty good eh.

I love this game as a rebels fan. I was gutted about how we lost after the siren 2 seasons ago to them so great to get one back and I also think that the Rebels have turned a corner. They usually throw it around, leak a bunch of tries. Win a couple, lose a couple, whatever. Last night the Rebels looked solid, hopefully more to come!

 

[RoosTah]

Brilliant match by the Rebels. Still can't get over the cross field kick try from Higgers! Don't think I've ever seen a play like that from an 8 - and it was so beautifully executed too!

Obviously not a number 8, but I do remember Ali Williams doing something very similar against the Wallabies a few years ago (for Doug Howlett to score).

I think I remember that actually - Ali Williams is a class player. Very happy for the Rebels though - they're playing a great style of rugby right now and have yet to lose a game since the trials started. I hope they do well this year and make the finals after the Tahs, as it would be a leg up for the game in Melbourne.

On a completely unrelated note, the only other thing I would say is that they ought to change their jersey colours; there's just too many team in Australia with Blue of some shade as their primary colour. I mean, you get it with the Tahs and their rather long history, but it's not really necessary for the force and the rebels to be decked out in blue.
