James O'Connor has come on for what seems to be his last game in a Rebels shirt.

Try Rebels. Highlanders were sucked in and let the Rebels through on the outside, Vuna goes over in the corner.

Half time in Melbourne. Highlanders dominating at the moment, very impressive display. Rebels will be looking to come out in the second half and perform much better than they did in this half. Stick with us for updates.

This is whats gonna happen to the wannabes come august 17th!

Try Highlanders. That's the bonus point. The ball is turned over at the line out and the pack come together for a few phases and Tony Woodcock bundles over right on halftime. 31-7 at half time.

Try Highlanders. Simple try this one. Ball is spun out the back using simple hands. The ball gets to Ellison who throws a dummy and scores the Highlanders 3rd try.

Possession last 10 minutes:
Rebels: 14%
Highlanders: 86%

Blood sub back on.

Rebels penalised at the scrum, 30 metres out and Slade steps up and slots it over 17-7, 26minutes played.

Highlanders dominating at the scrum. Rebels struggling to cope with it.
