Waratahs v Crusaders, round 15, Saturday 23 May @ Homebush

[waiopehu oldboy]

Your Fijian makes amends after ours rushes up out've the line......... Foley nails it, 7-5 'tahs.

 

[Ash]

Naiyaravoro in, Foley converts. 7 - 5 Tahs.

Been all Crusaders up to that point, they were making half breaks everywhere but desperate Tahs defence just held on. Some very strong runs from Folau to set up that try.

Crusaders have such silky hands, even Nadolo is pulling them in.

 

[Ash]

Great maul from the Crusaders, they might go in here.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Try or penalty + YC? Inconclusive so penalty which is OK but why no YC? Carter makes it 8-7.

 

[oztimmay]

Hometown camera work at play there?

Yellow card for their first penalty in the red zone?

 

[Ash]

That ball probably got down, but there's no evidence so they can't give it (unlike last week and the poor Sharks, but that's another story).

Geez you're just looking for things to complain about. Fairly clear difference between the two.

 

[ChargerWA]

Considering Rutchie was unbound for half the maul too.

 

[boyo]

Drink, @Hugh Jarse.

No, YC for a penalty offence preventing a try being scored. I've seen PT's given in similar circumstances, as probably have you.

Neither had footage nor ref seeing them down, it's the same thing, but that's by the by. Just commenting on consistency, or lack thereof.

Crusaders get around the edge of the Tahs again, but last pass was forward to Nadolo.

Horne then breaks a couple of tackles to get around the Crussaders defence.

 

[qwerty51]

That's an absolute shocker from Crockett. Literally 90 degrees

 

[Tordah]

very good refereeing so far

 

[Ash]

Beale taking the penalty 15m from touch, 42m from the tryline. They really are uncomfortable with Foley from anything more than about 35 - 40m straight to the posts.

Beale pushes it to the right.

 

[oztimmay]

Skelton brain fart. Card?

 

[Ash]

Skelton may be gone here.

WTF was he thinking?!

 

[Ash]

That's at least a yellow for either Latu or Skelton. The biggest issue is that it's so far after the ref whistle. What the hell were they doing?

 

[Slim 293]

I say card them both...........

 

[Ash]

Did Latu also throw a few afterwards too?
