Waratahs V Highlanders 2011R17

[minorbird]

I do not like the trajectory of this performance from the Tahs. The only positive is that there are going to be more scrums, which on a night like this and a scrum like the Tahs is only a positive.

From an AB's fan point of view, it must be concerning that their #1 scum half can't get the starting spot for their S15 team and their #2 weighs as much as a loose forward.

How good has the waratahs scrum been?

Baxter could end up making it to the wc if he keeps this form up. The way Benny A played last night I wouldn't have him anywhere near a word cup squad.

Steady. He is up against Mac, not noted as a scrummager even down on the family farm.

How has Al Baxter got 120 super caps? In Australia it's acceptable to be shite at scrummaging, but to also be totally devoid of all basic skills around the field. That is unacceptable!

You have watched some of the scrums tonight? I notice none of the other players are dropping the ball or fumbling too.

 

[ChargerWA]

Perrett looks like a capable player.

Cowan was rested. Henry thought he hadn't sufficient rest apparently.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Perhaps adapting to the conditions might help them. i.e. stop trying to play a 7's style of play in the rain.

Did Palu and Waugh go off with injuries or as a precaution? I missed the first 5min of the 2nd Half

 

[Crow]

TC's doing a decent job as 13. Maybe we can stick with this backline, if barnes is out.

 

[cyclopath]

The kicking, the kicking....it hurts my eyes!!

 

[minorbird]

I like that interpretation of the knock-on advantage rule from Pollock - he has been consistent with it as well.

 

[vidiot]

The kicking, the kicking....it hurts my eyes!!

How bout now?

 

[cyclopath]

The kicking, the kicking....it hurts my eyes!!

As I said, it HURTS!!!!

 

[vidiot]

I know it's bad form, but I can't stop watching Jimmy Cowan.






Hopefully TPN will smash him soon, the anticipation is killing me.

 

[cyclopath]

as i said, it hurts!!!!

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Faaaarrrrkkkkkkkk!!!!!!

 

[Crow]

At some point, the benny hill theme is going to start playing.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Feel sorry for Turner with that kick that went wrong, funny thing is if it was Tom Carter I'd be laughing my arse off.

 

[Tangawizi]

Memo to the Tahs - stop fucking around and get after that 4th try for fuck's sake!!!

 

[tigerland12]

Highlanders fans must be losing their sanity

 

[Riptide]

A lot of diving over the top from Highlanders. Ref letting everything go.
