25 - 14 ... Not sure McCabe hit on kurtley was early but thats how it goes Tahs penalty yhen a try , they got lucky... Both coaches going for their reserves now...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Still relatively sober @boyo. Beer is getting warm.

 

[Alex]

need to give TPN a rest - he has made some great carries but he is in bits at the moment

^^ typed like the Tahs are playing.

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 and it's a turnover.

Still relatively sober @boyo. Beer is getting warm.

You have to remedy that.

 

[Moono75]

fardy has been huge. And moore warrior.

 

[Alex]

Jeez will sleton can shift bodies - tahs won that feed because he shifted the collapsed maul back over the ball

 

[Ash]

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.

 

[mudskipper]

To'omua stl in bin for 4 min... Tahs putting on pressure now

 

[Ash]

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.

Under no circumstances should the TMO be allowed to use slow motion replays to review the timing on a tackle.

They have a demonstrated and repeated inability to understand physics, so it is highly likely that they don't understand that if you slow the replay down enough you can make the most borderline tackle appear to be several geological ages too early.

Furthermore, the players don't play in slow motion time, so the review should be based on the perspective of the players I.e. Real time.

(I also don't believe they should be allowed to use slow motion on forward pass assessments either, but that's another topic).

 

[Ash]

Looks like Palu was held up, back for the penalty.

Tahs take another scrum.

To'omua warming up, 1 minute to go.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Tight head at the right time for the Ponies.

Pretty rare event nowdays.

 

[maxdacat]

Did Kafe just say Will Skeleton?

 

[Ash]

Tighthead Brumbies!

Mogg's clearance only makes the 22m line.

Mis-hook from TPN by the looks.

Turning down all these points will cost them.
