Force vs Waratahs - Super Rugby R17 2013

[Ash]

Holmes' first throw is not straight.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

ulugia is so shit

That was a Luke Holmes throw

 

[Ash]

Ebersohn chips and chases and Betham sweeps.

Rosolea eats Tom Carter.

ulugia is so shit

Huh, he's been off for the last 5 mins. Name a better 3rd string hooker as well.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Good to see a graduate from the Penrith Emus (via the wicks) get a cameo performance - Richard Aho on for 5 minutes replacing Paddy Ryan

 

[Ash]

Tahs backs were so much better coached than the Force backs. And they used them better, too.

 

[Ash]

Force wait until the last minute to throw it around, and go across field as they play hot potato.

 

[Ash]

Sheehan eats Lucas.

 

[Ash]

Ref has ignored three or four penalties by the Force in this last period of play.

 

[Garryowen]

Not sure you can give that...

 

[cyclopath]

Dropped it

 

[Ash]

Finally Betham tries to go around Rosolea but I think he's out / dropped the ball / all of the above.

 

[Blue]

 

[cyclopath]

Can't give that.

 

[JSRF10]

Skelton was immense today, its nice to see our tighthead lock actually make an impact relative to his size.

Massive win over all, given the injuries we have along with all the Wallabies out.

 

[Ash]

He's not out, but looks like he dropped it to me. Damn close call.

 

[qwerty51]

That was the best Tahs performance of the year IMO.

Shute Shield XV beat Western Force in Perth.

 

[cyclopath]

Good Tah win with some newbies and low experience players. BP would have been nice, but 4 points is good.

As Marto said, the real telling of a coach is how the 2nd stringers go with no superstars. Massive tick for Cheika and the assistants coaching. Very promising for next year.

 

[Ash]

Tahs were down an entire forward pack, centre pairing, and fullback from the starting side.

I think that the Force went in expecting to win, and the Tahs went in with the right mindset.
