hi

Terrible place kicking in first 50mins cost the rebels the game.

Referee brings an end to proceedings as Woodward's kick sails over. Credit to the Rebels with an admirable effort, closing a sizeable gap. Blues depart with a crucial five points, but will be less than happy with a dismal second half performance. That's three very close wins in a row for the Blues. Inconsistency allowing teams back into games. Plenty of things to work on ahead of some difficult fixtures. Thanks for joining us, see you soon!

Well deserved finish for the Rebels after a superb second half. Woodward crosses after a wonderfully executed backs move. Woodward then converts his five points to seven.

Rebels penalty on half way, and they kick for the corner. Last play of the game and a Rebel line-out..

Two minutes left, and Rebels concede a penalty in the Blues' half. Blues relieve pressure with a boot down-field.

Four minutes left. Blues with a scrum in their own twenty-two.

The experienced Rene Ranger steps up to lead his team, linking with Piutau for the try. Blues with possession inside Rebel territory, deliver the ball to Ranger in mid-field. Ranger crashes into contact, sucking in defenders before slipping an offload to Piutau. Piutua is dragged to ground just inside the twenty-two. Ranger arrives at the ruck, snaps up the ball and tears through a gaping hole on the fringe of the ruck. Try.

O'Connor enters a ruck illegally right in front of the posts. Referee penalises accordingly. After a moment of indecision, the Rebels opt for posts and Woodward narrows the gap to four! No points for the Blues this half. Tremendous effort by the Rebels to narrow the gap, despite the loss of their two star players, O'Connor and Beale.

Blues concede another penalty from the scrum and Higginbotham takes it quickly. Brendan O'Connor cuts him down inches short of the line. Rebels then shoot the ball wide to Inman on the opposite wing. Inman collects on a powerful line and crashes through a scrambling Blue defence. That's a double for Inman.
