Round 6: Waratahs v Crusaders - Saturday 23 March @ SCG

[Strewthcobber]

Couple of tries out of uncharacteristically poor defense from the Crusaders so far. Well taken by Holloway and Folau/Clarke

 

[zer0]

Crusaders going full Blues Chufs right now. Unfortunately they are, indeed, not the Blues Chufs, so the Death Star will soon be fully operational.

 

[Willin1]

Jeez, Saders looking fucking awful so far. Tah's look out to make up for last years game.

 

[Up the Guts]

Must be the crowd pressure getting to Canterbury. Incredibly hostile environment out at the SCG with the crowd all up in your grill only 50m away from play.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Cantabs clearly rattled by the resurgent Blues looming large in the rear-vision, gobbling up the gap on the conference ladder. FEEL THE FOOTSTEPS BABY

 

[The Honey Badger]

Scrum looks good
Lineout superb

 

[Derpus]

Man, Folau is simultaneously having a great and shocking game.

Another two unforced turnovers to take him well clear for # of turnoevers in Aus.

 

[The Honey Badger]

2 steals

 

[Strewthcobber]

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) having his best games since coming back

 

[Strewthcobber]

2 steals

Simmons both times I think?

 

[The Honey Badger]

Phipps and Foley both having good games

 

[The Honey Badger]

They could have been in twice more.

Saders try off a forward pass

I think so. But isn't Hanigan jumping well. And I love that ball off the top of the lineout. Speeds it up

 

[Derpus]

Great play though.

Probably need to score early after the break to be in with a real shot, Crusaders bench is stronger.

Wow been watching this with mates at the pub.. all of us impressed by what has been impressive tahs performance against the front runners for the Comp in the crusaders...tahs have been the better team for sure and if can repeat that for next 40 mins can we will make us believe tahs are the real deal this year...

The blue uniforms of the Waratahs are just adding to their foreboding dread.

It's also absolutely ridiculous that Cameron has an All Black test cap simply because he plays for the right province. At least I presume this is the reason, because it certainly wasn't based on provincial performances.

Darryl, please note, these boys are playing well. Use your bench wisely.

Always thought he was a weirdly left-field selection.....

[Derpus]

Simmons also hot and cold. A penalty and two knock ons v two lineout steals.

It is as it ever was!
