yep, fair enough. I'm just not a huge fan of repeatedly going for the penalty try from a 5 metre scrum.
It's such a low percentage play.

Hopefully we don't take S.Fainga'a as the 3rd Hooker for the Wallabies.
Hopefully Slipper can help improve the Reds scrum over the coming weeks. Daley wasn't much tonight.

Yeah - 3 NZ teams in the Top 6 I think....lucky NZ...
QC (Quade Cooper) looks shaky under real pressure when the game gets tight.....if the Tahs had someone with some attacking ability outside Beale, they would have taken that game....wtf will they do in 2012??

I dunno. I've gotta say, I think tonight it was a high percentage play. The Waratahs scrum was extremely dominant.

I think the reds got the ball from that maul because they had pushed the tahs back into the field of play.

Neither am I, but I enjoyed the theatre of it, in a way. Maybe Phil realised the backs had nothing to offer, although you'd have to think even Tommy Carter trucking it up from 5m must be a pretty good chance of getting over the gain line.

I'd be paraphrasing, but he basically said the Tahs deserved some points from it and the only difference between the two teams was one piece of individual brilliance from Quade Cooper.
He isn't far from the truth, but it's the way he said it more tha what he said. Pretty dismissive of the reds as a whole.

Actually, the ref called that it was because they took it into the maul which collapsed and was then unplayable....which was incorrect. It wasn't 'unplayable'...they just thought they scored a try....should have been 5m scrum to the Tahs

One early engage, one hand on the ground, one incorrect bind and you're done.

If the player was pushed back into the field of play why didn't the follow scenario ensue then :
A) Play allowed to continue
B) Reds players have to roll away/release.

Lack of composure by reds backs almost handed it to tahs after incredible defence by the forwards. Surely the tahs have someone with a bit of attacking flair to break up an opposing defensive lineup. With all that ball, it was extremely disappointing not to see Kingston touch the ball once. Cross can do a good swinging arm but put an attacking player at 13. And I don't care what Carter offers in defence he offers crap in attack. The tahs went in with a boring plan to offer a defensive backline and so good was that defence Quade could slip through it. The tahs game plan for decades matches the mind set of the captain. Stodgy, predictable shit.
Hickey has a time machine?

Mate, the reds can't do anything about the tahs, bulls, rebels, cheetahs and brumbies throwing games against kiwi teams!
But seriously, QC (Quade Cooper) was hopeless, he gave the tahs a smorgasboard of possession and territory off the boot.. He has previously brought the same lack of composure to games against the NZ teams, I guess he sees them at high stakes. Hopefully this year that game was his everest.

Yeah, not saying I agree with the call, that's just what I thought it was. Ball was unplayable and the Reds were going forward having just pushed the tahs back into the field of play.

The second half ref was utter crap. Real shame as Walsh was having a good game in the first half. Good courage from the Reds and a great performance from the crowd. They came through on the TV as very vocal. If I was a Tahs fan I would be pretty pissed off at Phil Waugh.
Sad to see that injury to Drew. It looked terrible.
Go the Reds.

Carter is about the only player in the Tahs backline (bar Mitchell) who you would expect to make the gain line more often than not.
He ruled it hadn't definitely crossed the line, was a maul held up therefore turnover. The reasoning seems logical, if the interpretation of the actual situation seems completely wrong - I mean 5 or 6 Tahs players were over the line. I agree 5m scrum to Tahs, but the way he explained it, it was correct, if you see what I mean?
