Waratahs V Brumbies @ Homebush

[Mr Doug]

#5 Sam Carter subbed off for the Ponies. Is that your relative Mr Doug?

Son of Dave, Hugh, that's him!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

George Speight dots down for Ponies. Hard kick coming for the extras, but Holmes gets it.

Tahs 15, Ponies 16

Best response from the Ponies.

 

[Ash]

Reckon that penalty could've gone the other way for the Brumbies player going off their feet.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Kearnsy called out by Kafe for being a "one eyed Waratah supporter ".

What a surprise. So unlike Kearnsey.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies kick chase is a weapon tonight.

 

[Bardon]

Easy try from the Brumbies. Defence out wide from the Tahs was poor. Pass looked as little forward but similar passes are normally let go, more often than not, by SH officials so can't complain about that.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Hart off, McKibbon on. Be interesting to see how the backline operates now.

 

[Ash]

Tahs with more sustained pressure. Surprised the Brumbies have avoided a warning so far for infringements in the 22.

 

[Bardon]

The contrast between Mumm and Timani running with the ball couldn't be more pronounced tonight. Timani needs to learn to look after the pill.

 

[Ash]

Tahs kicking for goal 48m out right in front.

 

[Mr Doug]

Hey Hugh, I can't understand women. Now that Sammy's off, Mrs D is cheering for the Tahs!!! I'll have to cut these red jocks in half and give her one leg to retain their "integrity"!!

.... And poor discipline and impatience blew it for them.

Good kick return from Foley.

 

[Ash]

And a miss.

I don't think Lopeti is at this level at the moment myself. He has made some crucial mistakes this year.

Sitaleki on for Lopeti.

No one can understand them.

Your Mrs Doug, She's a keeper. Treat her well.

 

[Tangawizi]

Tahs are a horrible side to try & support. Just when you think they're going well, it all falls apart.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Bloody lucky Timani that bowled the ref over there.

 

[Ash]

Wow poor decision. Should've been a try.

Also should've been a penalty against the Brumbies for holding on before it popped out.

 

[Ash]

Where was Banres' winger?

 

[Ash]

TPN off injured. Ulugia on.

 

[Ash]

Er, Kimlin detached on that maul twice rig in front of the ref.
