Just tuned in, read some tweets about Cheika being ejected from the field? What did Dennis get his yellow card for?

I really hope Cheika doesn't come out after this pasting (as it looks we'll be getting at 19-3 down) and bitch about anything but the performance of the Waratahs

Disappointing from the Tahs tonight. Should have been closer at half time and then it was all downhill from Dennis' ridiculous yellow card.

Time to regroup for next week. We need to beat the Stormers.

Well played by the Sharks. They matched our physicality, dominated us at set piece and kicked their goals brilliantly.

Damn.

Sharks pack were just immense, blew us away.

Scrum performance is just astonishing. How does it get that bad?

Too quick for me there Braveheart.

32-10

As good as the Waratah intensity and aggressive defence were, they are not enough to compensate for the poor set piece, kicking, and ball security.

I was very disappointed with Dennis' push (not even the level of handbags) on BDP. The captain can never be the guy who loses it, even a little bit. It is a shame benching him would affect the lineout so badly.

The Sharks were sloppy at times, but were well worth their win.

On the other hand, the captain has to be the one to stand up for his team...

Sounds like Nathan Grey's influence has fixed our leaky defensive problems, at the expense of almost everything else...

Tahs never looked like winning this one to me, just no continuity against a sharks side who marked up well on the ball running support threats; and then won the turnovers.

Defensively the Tahs looked good, the only tries the Tahs conceded was from a maul and a quick tap, but with their pop gun kicking, average accuracy in cleanout, they couldn't get out of their own half.

Dennis's yellow? meh, we know the Bok sides niggle\intimidate off the ball, the Tahs needed to be better disciplined, there were plenty of warnings.

I don't like the chopping and changing with Lance, Horne, Beale and Foley, it didn't help at all. There too much plenty of lateral passing at the back off kick return, but no beating defenders.

Beale used to be one of the best broken field runners off kick return around, what has happened?
