[Crashy]

Just seen the stats - Waratahs 30 missed tackles will do it; 20 in the 2nd half.

Usually caveat around the circumstances of the misses, but

Creiton 6 misses. Kellaway 4 misses. Reilly 3 misses. O'Donnell 2 misses

Yes - and Adamson #20 missed a crucial tackle. Not all his fault, as 3 others also missed him en route to the line.

2 from Adamson in 17 minutes is diabolical from a replacement 7. Both were bad misses too, one for a try another for a big break from Ardie.

So, was busy this arvo with something more important. Is there a 30 second Tahs highlight reel I can watch to get the vibe?

More golf related but you nailed the vibe.

Its a sound strategy given scrums are indecipherable. @Pfitzy only pretends to understand them to make himself look smart.

It works, so suck it.

 

[PhilClinton]

@PhilClinton I look forward to hearing how this is Uncle Dan's fault.

Nah, I get no joy kicking the Tahs and Uncy D when even their fans can see the capitulation in front of their eyes.

I’ll happily pile on though if Bell and TT don’t get rested soon per the RA guidelines.

Well that was a tough watch over breakfast this morning, thought we were good at half time, then I'm sure the Auckland police have put out a missing persons alert for most of the Tahs in the second half.

Really didn't convert some of that early possession/territory. That knock on over the line was a cruel miss. Should have been even further ahead. Didn't respond well once Moana started to get their tails up.

To be honest mate, it looks like TT is resting every game!

Disappointing loss for the Tahs, but Moana deserve a bit more credit IMO. They have some obvious defensive weaknesses, but they score points off of everyone

Wins over both the Hurricanes & Crusaders, last gasp losses to the Highlanders & Force that very easily could have been wins, and they cut the Chiefs to shreds in the 2nd half of that game too. They are a dangerous team for anyone

it's good to see, I had doubts about their long term viability for the last two seasons

Gave the reds a scare too

Me too, but been really impressive this year and a handful for any team

 

[stillmissit]

Wow….Tahs capitulate in the 2nd half??

Dan, I'm still claiming it is lack of aerobic fitness to play 80 mins of rugby. The same thing with the Reds last qtr but a great game anyway and I think the fittest of the Aus Super Rugby teams.
