Waratahs v Brumbies - Round 8, 2016

[Hawko]

Daughter and her Hubby are going to the game tonight and want to know which pub will be on for pre-game drinks. Any suggestions? Also, any dress rules, as they will be resplendent in their Brumbies kit.

Suggest a hard hat and flack vest if they are in Brumbies gear.

A pretty good retort (and I actually agree that THAT bloke is a dog)
but obviously you need a hearing check if you cannot hear a bit of woofing (at least)

Have a good day and game tonight

I hear some droning, not woofing.

 

[ChargerWA]

Pretty nervous about having tipped the Tahs.

Reckon Folau wont pass his concussion test, he was out there after the knock

 

[cyclopath]

I was tipping Brumbies by 9 but might reset that to 16 if Folau gone.

Pitch isn't as bad as AAMI was last night, but you still couldn't call it good based on the first scrums.

 

[Kaz]

To'omua in great form with his passing.

Folau passed the concussion test and is back on the field

10 minutes gone and its all Brumbies so far, 0-7, after Tomane scored from a well executed play down the short side inside tahs 22.
Benn Robinson is out after he got an accidental finger in his eye in a lineout

Would Fat Cat now say "Eye, eye skipper"?

 

[cyclopath]

Not seeing anything thus far to change my opinion - Tahs look like they've never met, in attack. Funny tighthead at last scrum - Brumbies couldn't hook it.

Holloway doesn't pack between the two locks on own ball, is that legal?

 

[cyclopath]

This gonna get ugly really fast. Tahs defensive line all over the shop.

 

[ChargerWA]

Ooof, this could get ugly.

Dont know the exact law, but never seen it pinged and it is used fairly often.

Thought the rules around players in scrums were basically:

Minimum 5 players
Must have exactly 3 players in the front row
Everybody not in the front row must be bound to a lock
You need to match the numbers of the feeding team if it's uncontested

So the 8 can sit on a flanker as long as he's on a lock too

 

[ChargerWA]

Clarkie just said coach killer.

Everybody drink.

 

[TSR]

Yeah, he just can't change spots once the ball has been fed.

Well, at least that's what I heard a ref tell one of the number 8s last week.

 

[Marcelo]

Kellaway cannot defend at 15

 

[cyclopath]

Holloway doing his Kieran Read impression with that linking play for the try. Good work.
