Do you reckon it's possible to drop more ball? We should be up by 30. Fucking hell.

 

[Quick Hands]

I don't think there's much chance of seeing the poker face at half time. I hope they have strong doors at Eden Park.

The worst half of rugby we've played in 2 seasons.

Memo to Tahs: This is not 7s nor limited tackle; a bit of patience and the Blues are there for the taking.

A repeat of that 1st half will be injurious to Cheika's and supporters' health.

I understand why Tahs fans are frustrated, but the Tahs are doing a good job of openning the Blues up. Just a little more patience.

This is exactly the helter skelter bullshit they put in last week and the week before that.
They need to take the first 5 minutes of the second half to juts cart the ball up to the gain line - or beyond - and go to ground with it win the ensuing ruck and do it again.
There is no shame in going to ground with the ball.

What was the most number of phases in that half.
That was poor, no development, structure, or game plan

These handling errors are atrocious

 

[Tomikin]

Its extremely annoying to see so much dropped passes or even miracle balls if there's one thing I've ever learned watching the All Blacks is a break get tackled and a quick recycle is so much better then a flick pass... specially one by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

How does this even happen? I mean some of the passes have been over the top but most of these were sticking the first 4 rounds. Did they just stop skills training?

I think they need to throw the passes harder

What like at Skelton's head again???

BTW, how was that not a penalty when it hit Skelton's head? Potgieter touched it straight away clearly in front. Don't get me started on that 'knock on' by Beale either.

What the hell was he doing there behind a lineout not watching the ball

I wish I could be critical of the tahs handling, but it's better than the reds has been, so I can't.

 

[gel]

And then from the kick off..........

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Theory: the handling is so bad because this is the first game the Tahs have played in anything like "winter".

 

[CTPE]

Lack of steadying leadership not helping our cause either ... Dennis displays bugger all leadership qualities IMO.

 

[Dave Beat]

Last game I watched on the box was Uni V Manly - heaps better viewing even on the ABC. Bring on 3pm tomorrow.

Pollock has to be joking - maybe Fat Cat for touching the half but he came straight up the centre and the Blues 10 was trying to "tackle" him while on the ground yet he says "entry".
