Rd 8: NSFW Waratahs vs The Auckland Blues

[dru]

Massive game again from HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes).

And Staniforth.

 

[Up the Guts]

And Staniforth.

Well, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) went off so I thought I'd give him his due. Bringing on Staniforth in place of Hanigan, was a masterstroke.

 

[Up the Guts]

Huge tackle from Keps on a flying Ioane.

 

[dru]

Right now, who would want to be in the front row? Jeez they get worked hard.

Though fresh legs with Talakai.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Not surw why you'd want Collins out there & Clarke sitting down.

 

[Up the Guts]

Need to score off this scrum I'd say.

Not surw why you'd want Collins out there & Clarke sitting down.

F*cken aye. He's had about four involvements in this match, basically all of them benefiting the Waratahs in some way.

 

[dru]

Need to score off this scrum I'd say.

Or this one.


Done.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Too soft that.

 

[Up the Guts]

Nice move there, Gordon's the 9 you want running off the back of a scrum.

 

[dru]

Really question that exit strategy with the scores as they are at this time in the game.

 

[Up the Guts]

That nothing kick from Gordon might have been the end of it.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Bleus bottle this I'm done with them. Again. For the fourth time. Or is it the sixth?

 

[zer0]

Gotta say, kicking the ball away late in the match when you need to hold it seems be to some sort of genetic disorder among Waratah halfbacks. Perhaps some mutated form of Blueitis terriblis.

Game Auckland

 

[zer0]

Three minutes and 21 phases of glorious, Crusader level, time killing grind.

 

[Up the Guts]

Referee reticent to tell the Blues to use it and let them reset every breakdown, horseshit.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Never often in doubt

 

[Up the Guts]

Man, that's an annoying loss. Terrible start, chasing the game for the rest of it.

 

[Blackadder]

Damn.
