I have considered this for some time! I hate the idea of facing the rebels with ex-force players who’d we be up up against along with Wessels the coach. I would prefer to play any of the other teams just because it would feel awful to have our own players who were forced to leave play against us. This being said I’d still show up to ensure that I was showing in my part that the force can draw a crowd.
Yeah, I'd rather we played somebody else. Not just for our own sakes but also not to put Wessels and the ex-Force players through it either, that's just an act of bastardry towards them and us.
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
I am not sure will not see many Ex players here for the game.. They will either be on Wallaby duty or resting to ensure they are fit to take on the NZ teams after the break.. I see this being the same for all the teams,, safety 1st and they will know the WF will be dinkum about playing hard line rugby.. nothing to lose rugby.. and as for that drop kick Peter Rabbit .. I won't even waste my lettuce leaves on him..
Another thing I have been thinking about for a while. Supposedly to set up these matches the teams coming to play will be paid appearance money.
So what you are telling me is that we will be putting money into the Rebels to keep them afloat? Anyone else have a problem with that after all they have taken off us?
I’ll see if I can find out about that BLR but it’s likely that Minderoo won’t tell us what their business model is.

I’ll guarantee anyone that the Rebels aren’t coming over out of the goodness of their hearts.
Don’t care who we beat. Everyone should have the same mentality.
Hope you're right. I've tried very hard to stay away from even the slightest bit of news on the Rebels - yes, I'm bitter and a definite no vote. I was googling a player the other day and one of the image results was Billy Meakes in a Rebels jumper - love Billy et al to bits, but it's all still very raw and is going to take time to forget. Please don't schedule this game and parade our player list in Rebels jumpers. This is how I want to remember Billy.
just having a peek at the brumbies v rebels game----I reckon about 8000 people at max
I just can't watch that team play.

Awful watching our boys enjoy themselves so much in last 10 mins and playing well - ruru try, billy, Hardwick , Ross hp ...
My blood boiling ... and imagining Clyne rubbing his hands
Can only hope they come back but can’t imagine it in next 2 yrs
