[qwerty51]

Bookies have really fucked up this round haven't they. $$$

 

[hench]

Waratahs by 30, hey?

 

[KevinO]

Did not see this one coming

Waratahs by 30, hey?

yeah, it's always a bad team to assume you can beat.

 

[Moono75]

Big Tahs winger......yeah learn how to hold the ball. Schooled by Godwin.

 

[No4918]

Kearn's loves slippery, sweaty balls.

 

[Pedrolicus]

doesn't look good for Dennis. Right knee getting heavily iced.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Foley fades a forty five meter penalty and the score remains 3-15 with 51min gone.

 

[A mutterer]

about time we saw the tahs defense stand up - could this be the turning point?

Not really. Bookies set the opening prices, everything that happens after that just reflects where the bettors are putting their money. It's more correct to say that the bettors have collectively really fucked up this round. I'd be surprised if any actual bookie has taken too much of a hit, that's how they stay in business.

 

[Pedrolicus]

A pant load of phases from the Force inside the 22, wasn't helped by the fact Mathewson is yellowed. Ends when Wykes "crosses" and the Tahs elect to scrummage themselves out of trouble.

 

[ChargerWA]

Waratahs with such dominance in the set piece. Surely will have to tell in the last 10min.

 

[Tahspark]

Just too much dropped ball from the Tahs to build any continuity. Kicked away too much ball in the 1st half to build any pressure. If they don't otherwise deny themselves the clock'll be the enemy shortly.

Best Tahs loss ever!

 

[hench]

He was off side.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Five away wins out of six matches so far, surely the Force can't make it six out of seven? C'mon Tahs, restore a bit of sanity to proceedings.

If they don't it's karma for @Braveheart81 teasing me about the Crusaders.

And as we speak Luke Morahan goes over, 20-8 & only 12 to go.

 

[ForceFan]

Waratahs showing all the benefits of having a team full of Wobblies.
20:8 with 12 minutes remaining.
Go you good things!!!
Lot of lazy work by the Waratahs at the breakdown going unpinged by Walsh.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Wow, Force might go two converted tries up here...

 

[ChargerWA]

He was off side.

Bit of a square up for not checking the Horne try up stairs.

 

[Pedrolicus]

But it's missed.... still 8-20 9 min to go.
