2020 Super Rugby Round 2 - Waratahs v Force

[Forcefield]

The rain is meant to clear as the day goes on. Likely to be a wet surface but hopefully if it isn't actually raining during the game the conditions will be better than the excuses less than last night.

Figure damp conditions would suit the Force more than the Tahs. We've got some experienced halves and two rock solid tight-heads. Hoping our line-out doesn't have last nights' yips.

Lets just hope the turf holds up this time.

No Kearns in the comms box? What have we done to be so blessed?

 

[Shaker]

Excited to see how Jooste goes, was incredibly impressive in NRC.

Still Kafer though.

 

[Wilson]

Wait I thought we ditched the mark rule???

 

[Wilson]

Still Kafer though.

I don't mind Kafer, he makes much more of an attempt to be positive and sell the game. Offers a lot more from an analysis perspective too.

3 nil force

 

[Blackadder]

Tahs keep going wide with no go forward and they keep dropping it

 

[A mutterer]

tahs still unable to respond well against rush defense

Tahs keep going wide with no go forward and they keep dropping it

yep, and the line is still too deep

might need the forwards to pull in extra defenders with some pick and go's

 

[Blackadder]

Tahs pack is struggling

Might need some forwards

 

[molman]

Agree with commentators, Force looking a lot more composed. Prior / Lance looking calm and solid.

Tahs got the better that time.

It may have been a few years since they were together, but no other pairing in super AU would've played more games together.

 

[Blackadder]

Tahs got the better that time.

It's bad when the backs are doing better hit ups than the forwards

 

[Derpus]

This is torrid

 

[Blackadder]

Force in

 

[Wilson]

try time!
