Well, that's a wrap from AAMI Park here in Melbourne. Bonus point win for the Rebels in emphatic fashion as they run in 5 tires. Back to basics for the Cheetahs and the Rebels start off well by getting maximum points off their first game.
TRY TIME by Scott Higginbotham as the Cheetahs lose it deep in the Rebels half. Rebels go coast to coast to score. Plenty of action in that try.
Offsides by the Cheetahs at the scrum. Rebels look to take the points.
Possibly a try from Hugh Pyle...TMO pending. No try as Higginbotham gets a finger tip on and knocks on. Second knock on though and Rebels scrum 5m out
Cheetahs try to run it out but the Referee blows them up for holding on at ruck time
Try for Ryno Barnes...TMO Pending though - Referee asked for try or no try
10 minutes to go and the Cheetahs need to score plenty. They start with a line out just inside the Rebels half after a penalty.
Ball robbed at the breakdown and the Cheetahs clear their lines. Quick throw in by the Rebels but eventually lose it forward. The Cheetahs are struggling here.
Rebels 20 phases in and looking to score their 5th try. 7m out.
Rebels loving ball in hand and Ellison spots some forwards and runs around them to set up Hegarty. Bonus point try.
