Just think of the status credits...

The boys would have a few hahaha. Maybe that's one of the only draw cards to come across

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Incorrect. The closest game is 0m away

Got me.

Away game. Get daddy twiggy to stump up for private.

 

[Shiggins]

Not sure what it has to do with this game thread.

Just pointing out how good the draw is has been for the tahs.oretty handy being able to start with so many home games to build some confidence

Lonergan has literally kicked well off both feet tonight

 

[Shiggins]

Force daddy. Get the wallet out.

 

[Overtime]

Brumbies by 30+

Well this ain't going to age well!

 

[A mutterer]

Being on the correct side of an O'Keefe special for once...

But also Brumbies did more than enough stupid shit to not complain. Judo flip anyone?

Bok must have been confused looking around for multiple nick whites with all the commentary from the brumbies, obviously got thrown off his game.

Fair I’ll rewatch for this

Once again, Waratahs BackRow so much more dynamic once Gamble came off, replaced by Adamson - hopefully they start him next game.

Teddy Willson had a super game.

Or they sign Brial or Bryant from QLD for next year.

 

[Qwertyrick]

Back three for me tonight, in and around everything. Onto next week

 

[griffins]

Fuck tough night for @PhilClinton and the others that hate McKellar. Not saying he should be the wallabies coach but that was the display of a team absolutely on the same page and scrapping for each other. Outgunned on paper they took their chances and didnt let the brums play their game. Well done NSW (that makes me fucking sick reading it back).

Wasn’t Noah’s best game.

 

[Hawko]

The Brumbies scrum folded on the first two scrums in the game and BOK said play on. That's one of his standard plays. Scrum penalties only called when the ball does not come out.

 

[Overtime]

Never is Noah's best game.

I'll have to go back and look (I won't, but I thought it would struggle so was watching at the time..and it seemed stable.. but I will just believe you), but that scrum was kipished it should have been a penalty and if happened earlier it should have been too.

But you gotta take the ref out of the game, no matter the calls against you.. as I said earlier.. well done Tahs.. it was an exciting game, even though I think BOK and the TMO had an absoulte mare

Crowd of 20,500 is a 64% increase on last years corresponding game of 12,500.

But fark me that refereeing and TMO performance did the code no favours. Surely Super rugby needs to hold match officials accountable for rubbish like that.

Tahs now take on Hurricanes & Moana away. If they can win one of those you’d have to expect 25000 when they host Chiefs in 3 weeks. Win them both and it’s a 30k+ game with the Chiefs flushing out plenty of kiwis.

In Sualli we trust!

He's mediocre, usually. Not looking good for the big games.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Noah wasn’t terrible but not great either. That’s him.

We have a country of 10s that each has an outlying strength but then a bad flaw. Noah is the one that is probably a 7/10 at all of them.

Donaldson gets a good chance this arvo v the Drua to push his case. He could also trash his chances if they go down at home with a bad performance. Then we’ll give it to the guy in the side that looks best in Lynagh.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Bernie was very composed in the presser but certainly made his point on the referees performance without sounding like he was complaining.

Imagine if Cheika was on the end of that.
