Rd 8: NSFW Waratahs vs The Auckland Blues

[Dctarget]

Textbook from Folau, great accurate kick from Foley. Hopefully we'll get more of the same.

 

[Blackadder]

Israel brings up the all-time try-scoring record with one of his signatures.

Thank God for that try

 

[Up the Guts]

Problems under the high ball for the Blues. Will create space out wide as the wingers sit on their heels.

Otero Black off, that's not good from a Loss Bleus POV.

 

[Up the Guts]

Thought Israel was in for a second for all money

I'm enjoying this Waratah team right now. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) definite but also Foley (and Folau).

 

[Blackadder]

I thought Folau was in again there for all money

 

[Blackadder]

And the Tahs blow it

 

[Dctarget]

Dempsey looks to have lost a bit of his ball running ability from two years ago. Not as destructive anymore.

 

[Up the Guts]

Gee a couple of Blues flopping on the ball there after the maul collapsed, lucky to get away with that.

Foley tackles a rampaging Akira off the back of the scrum. Head on and committed.

 

[dru]

Simmons with plenty of work.

 

[Up the Guts]

This Ruru fellow doesn't have the greatest box kick. Keeping us in the hunt when he barely makes it to the 22 with his clearances.

 

[Dctarget]

should be a YC, cynical penalty in the red zone.

 

[dru]

Waratahs will want points here.

And do!

 

[Up the Guts]

There we go, looking good after that torrid start.

 

[Blackadder]

Try Tahs

 

[Dctarget]

Good try by the 'Tahs. Been dominant for the past 20, nice to get a reflection on the scoreboard.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Black back out there. Defo momentum shift in his absence.

 

[dru]

So much for Foley only taking kicks in front.
