Pretty sure Genia's tackle was early off the scrum at 45 minutes, really hate him doing that. Should have been penalised by the ref. Reds kick away way too much ball: Genia giving away good attacking ball in the 22 this time at 47 minutes. Toua then drops the ball with more than a half...

Gee, that penalty against JP Pietersen was harsh too. Very Simmons-esque.

Another penalty for holding on earnt from Coetzee, who was never on his feet at 43 minutes. If I was Coetzee, I would be loving this ref every week. Reds stole the lineout, only for Toua to kick it away.

Watching the replay, in the first half it seems to me that the ref only looked at the Reds at the breakdown. Reds have real issues with their discipline, but some of the penalties against the Reds in their own half in particular were just very harsh. Horwill's "high" tackle, two holding on...

To clarify, I'm talking more about the post match press conferences than the smashed door. Smashed door is rather amusing if true, though!

Cheika comes across as a really sore loser too often.

Will we see another Cheika spray at the ref in the post game interviews?

Thought Rosalea is actually one of your weakest backline players for much of all the games so far. Ebersohn, Hayward and Morahan are going very well in the backline. Would like to see Ebersohn kick a little less at times still.

Be interesting next week if Kepu or Ryan starts next week.

Argh, internet went down and I missed the try. Robinson has been a shadow of himself for a few years now. Unless he improves he will be third choice LHP behind Slipper and Sio at the end of the season.

Hoiles takes the linout, goes to Folau midfield but he's well covered. Penalty against the Brumbies for Smith rolling into McKibbin. Could be another yellow here, dumb play.

Overthrow, but penalty for interference in the air. McKibbin takes a quick tap. Brumbu defence looking static, but Douglas loses it and the Brumbies clear to the other side of halfway. Some very tired forwards out there. Tahs will regret turning down all those three points. Shades of...

Tighthead Brumbies! Mogg's clearance only makes the 22m line. Mis-hook from TPN by the looks.

Looks like Palu was held up, back for the penalty. Tahs take another scrum. To'omua warming up, 1 minute to go.

The Brumbies have barely used their bench. The better Tahs bench could prove the difference. Tahs scrum drive the Brumbies back, Palu comes off but appears to get held up. Goes upstairs. Huge difference with Kepu on for Alexander and Smith on for Sio.

Better scrum Waratahs. Wide to Betham, who breaks a tackle before getting dragged down 30m out. Foley kicks ahead, Coleman gets there before Beale but carries it back. 5m scrum to the Tahs.

Brumbies found short eventually as the Tahs forward drive the same way on the goal line. Tahs ring the changes, Skelton, Carraro, Hoiles all on. Foley clears his 22 better than previously, ball going out on his 40m line. Douglas disrupts the Brumby maul, White points instead of clearing...

Tahs take the lineout, average kick goes out 10m from the line. Potgieter taps it down. Kuridrani rushes up and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) steps him but gets dragged down. Brumbies give away another penalty, To'omua off to the bin.

First scrum goes down on Robinson's and Alexander's side. Scrum goes down again, half arm to the Tahs. They take a tap and go and get another advantage. Phipps short ball to Beale but he puts the tough ball down. He was though. Tahs force the pass, To'omua intercepts and Fardy clears...

Penalty to the Tahs 22m out for Butler not releasing the tackled player. Tahs call a scrum at 25 - 9 down, 56 minutes gone.
