Decision to take the try????? Please explain. Bonus point.

The Mighty Mighty Force!

Words can't express how bad that was. Not taking the 3 to get a bonus point epitomises the Tahs performance.

Full credit to the Force. They played very well.

Ongoing lazy work by the Waratahs gives van Wyk his first try for the WF.
AND bonus point.
Just love the hype and crap from FoxSports' commentators.
Initial first round win for the WF against last year's champs.
Some good kicking on goal would have been a really good score.
SWEEEEET

Don't forget the bombed try, could have been even further.

Well done to the Force! (after the Saders loss last week this somewhat eases the pain).

Don't be.

Like that you have a really short turn around, makes playing Sunday afternoon rugby worth it.

Very handy bonus point away win from the force, and earned with out Hodgson or the Honey Badger.

Decision to take the try????? Please explain. Bonus point.

seems largely consistent with Hooper's decision making in Gold last year.

The two 2014 finalists lose by 10 at home to the Force and Rebels.

Geez there were some gutsy performances by the Force. McCalman, Charles, were great and the rest of the pigs were good, Mathewson was great and Rasolea had a ripper. Well done, very gutsy

i'll try the first... tell me again how it's good idea to have the national coach coaching a super team at the same time?

..........and with similar decisions at the WC?
That decision right there at the WC could be the difference between the Wallabies getting out of the pool round or not! Bonus points apply the same as Super Rugby in the pool rounds.

wow....you couldn't make it up!

You just have to laugh at some idiot chipping to the reserve prop for the Western Force and letting him trot in for a try.

I'm going to pretend that was just a bad dream..

Anyone who punted on both events happening would have collected a nice payment. I admit Saders were vulnerable first up but I don't think I would have picked the Force to beat the Tahs first up.

Yeah that was crazy, I guess the only explanation could be that they (incorrectly) thought they had enough time for a restart.

I tried that on Friday for the Reds game, dosent work.

addition and /or subtraction may not be Hooper's strong suit

 

[Moono75]

Permission to be an asshole and skite over the VICTORY?.....please

Mindless.
Please explain why we decline the shot at penalty in injury time at the end of the first half and take a scrum when we only have 7 forwards...... and then our first penalty after half time we take a shot?
No coincidence that all the Force's half breaks were made on our right side.
Force stuck to a plan which they executed with accuracy.

The good news is that all of Australian rugby is paying for that with his ARU top up
