Waratahs V Brumbies @ Homebush

[Ash]

Would like to see McCabe show more of a passing game.

And TPN work on his throwing.

 

[Vanuatu Chiefs]

Anyone else think the Tahs had the better of the half? Yet the Brumbies go in 9 - 5 up.

I agree Ash. However, you'll recall we had all the early running in the 1st round clash & failed to convert then tries both side of half time killed the Tahs' hopes.

Tahs did look the more willing. However, 2nd half breaks must be converted into points. Yet another close loss will be unbearable.

 

[Ash]

Kearnsy defending a poor pass from Hart?

 

[Ash]

Foley has looked handy at 10 so far.

Tahs definitely need to convert more pressure into points.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

With some go forward ball, patience and discipline the Tah 9/10 combo and 9/runners combo is improving.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Crikey, Archie's Dad would have gone over for a meat pie if he was another 2 inches taller. Close but no bananas.

PK to Archie's Dad.

Ponies 9 'Tahs 8 50 min gone.

 

[kiap]

Alexander being torn a new one in the scrums.

 

[Ash]

Can't argue too much with the high tackle myself. Mostly it was a bit of a swinging arm.

 

[Ash]

Yeah Tahs have dominated the scrums all night. Alexander really struggling as mentioned.

 

[Ash]

Mogg with one of the silliest plays you will see after a great Tahs counter ruck.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Plenty of possession and pressure from the "Tahs but they need to turn it into points.

 

[Ash]

Barnes!! He deserved that. Nearly got denied by the post.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Archie's Dad = Meat Pie. Little Ripper.

Right at the base of the posts. SUrely he cant miss this one.

Good Guys 15, Brumbies 9 - 58 minutes gone

 

[Bardon]

Great try from Barnes and he made the conversion easy for himself too.

 

[Ash]

Credit to Hart for the good passes off the ruck to get the Tahs over the ad line. Just needs to be more consistent.

 

[Ash]

Carter off, Vaea on. Kimlin into the row.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

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

 

[Ash]

Hart really needs to work on his kicking game. White showing him up in that regard.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Hart really needs to work on his kicking game. White showing him up in that regard.

Passing game is OK. Kicking Not OK.

 

[Ash]

Speight in. Too easy for the Ponies after some nice wide sweeping plays.

Some poor defence by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at the end there.

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