Big Brumbies driving maul, goes left, goes right, goes a bit forward… Rebels keep them out.

Rebels then earn a defensive and relieving penalty!!

4 Minutes to go, as we have this Rebels lineout near halfway

Go to Farenheit or Celsius… it might be better there!

(PS! Kelvin is also a measure of temperature)

hmmm …
S15 a tough competition, replete with surprises

The wet conditions did not make for good rugby, but a tense contest nonetheless …

Suddenly the Oz conference is a contest

Good weekend so far for SA sides as far as the Log is concerned!!

Table topping Canes lost, Brumbies (top of the Aussie Table) lost, Crusaders were kept back nicely and lost…
