Super Rugby-TT: Rd 1 Waratahs v Hurricanes, May 14th, SCG

[A mutterer]

I am at the game at scg and gob smacked at how bad defence been from tahs. I don’t give a fig about kiwis defence but seriously tahs defence coach you have a lot of work ahead of you. Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) needs to be dropped for one for his defensive efforts tonight as absolutely no idea how to mark up players defensively let alone tackle.

I mean seriously to score 36 points and lose a game wtf.I am really pissed

i totally get it but how many times have we scored this many points in attack?

im pretty sure you have scored more tries tonight that we did all SRAU

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Bs referring 4th penalty in a row an no kiwi player goes to the bin - this game really pissing me off and moreso for tahs to score highest points all season but lose for flakey defence.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

That should have been une carte jaune

 

[Dan54]

Well a lot of points in a very average game, players and officials have been all seemed to be same.

Flaky is a compliment to this fucking shitshow

A cricket score at the cricket ground

 

[Equalizer]

Is this a good game. Really 59 to 43. Are these teams soooooooo explosive, uncontainable attacks. It's like watching the TV shopping channel where nothing, absolutely nothing will stick to that new Teflon magnetite stone frypan. Not even burnt milk.

Alright lets just wait to see your fucking side concede 40+ to the kiwis and then you can talk as much smack as you want.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Well the only thing that can be certain is neither side will win the TT and If they were heaven help us

 

[Rugbynutter39]

What I learnt tonight - tahs can score tries

What I also got reconfirmed they defend like 3rd grade colts

No I mean did both teams agree not to play defence?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Fun throwback match to the old days of soup rugby with the college basketball scores.

Poor Maddocks with an alltime fluffled try blooper.

 

[TheFairlightFlanker]

This match pretty much confirmed every Northern Hemisphere stereotype about Super Rugby!

 

[Equalizer]

I thought this was a Globetrotter game. The Washington Generals got close tonight.....tooo close.

 

[KOB1987]

If I’d just turned on right at the end and the only thing I saw was that last try I would be convinced the tahs are something special !

 

[Teh Other Dave]

No this wasn't a defensive masterclass, but I enjoyed that. I expected the canes to put a cricket score on NSW, but that was only half the story. Still a ways to go for the Tahs, but maybe not as far as we thought.

With you Dave, and it was a good entertaining game to have on FTA. Us rusted ons can pick apart the flaws in the game but I reckon the casuals would have enjoyed it.

 

[Froggy]

Well, I enjoyed that, despite all the flaws and the bagging out by most here, it was fun to watch. The defense by the Tahs backs was pathetic, with Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) one of the worst I have ever seen. It may be bias, but I thought the Tahs pack actually got a points victory on the night. I also though the Tahs were exceptional at 9 and 10.
Canes outside backs had an absolute field day, the Tahs have to fix that or they will concede some very big points.
For mine Bell was the best forward on the field.

 

[Equalizer]

That score was as big as Australia's budget deficit. By tomorrow's papers it will be paid down to Canes 27 defeat Tahs 12. That's good policy!
