Round 13 Lions Vs Waratahs

[Blackadder]

Wow it's Thursday and no match thread has been started. Have the Tahs fans given up?

Another must win game here for the Tahs.

Need to match the Lions Pack. Good offloads, Strong rolling maul defence.

 

[Braveheart81]

Hanigan back to 6 with Wells fit. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) benched with Foketi starting. Newsome starting ahead of Clark.

 

[Blackadder]

Good to see Sinclair get another run. I thought he played well last week

 

[Braveheart81]

A change. Clark is starting and Rona on the bench apparently.

[Blackadder]

I wonder why AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is on the bench?

 

[Blackadder]

What happened to Swinton?

Do the Tahs see Robertson as the long term 3 to replace Kepu??

Bought time.

 

[Blackadder]

Entertaining game so far. Tahs lead 21 - 14

 

[Up the Guts]

Simmons runs a great line to score one of the best of his career. 21-14 Waratahs after 28ish.

 

[A mutterer]

holy shit, simmons ran a great line for a try under the dot!

 

[A mutterer]

nice work by beale on that defense then

 

[Blackadder]

Half time Tahs lead 21-19

 

[Silverado]

I wasn't going to stay up, but glad I did. 6 tries in 1st half and both teams playing with intent. Hang in there boys

 

[A mutterer]

pretty dubious last pass then, is this the same ref who pinged an aussie team 14-1?

edit, even the saffa commentators admitted it was forward. after the fact of course.

 

[Up the Guts]

How is that pass not called forward? The ref was right there. Then they don't even check on the replay.

Seconds is the ref, same guy who screwed the Rebels against the Lions. Don't expect anything to be called your way

 

[A mutterer]

staniforth off the back of some great hard running from rona off a massive floating pass from beale

 

[Up the Guts]

Not keen on the Saffa commentary team. Not even an attempt at impartiality.
