Waratahs V Highlanders 2011R17

Beale magic!

 

[vidiot]

That guy should have been playing for weeks.

And Beale caps a pretty good individual game with a clever bit of vision and an even better kick to Holmes for another try.

 

[lincoln]

Josh Holmes - try!

 

[Tangawizi]

I hope a KB (Kurtley Beale) stays uninjured all year. He has been magic tonight.

 

[cyclopath]

Last tackle of the game from The Fuse - fitting way for him to farewell the Stadium.

 

[Tordah]

now wasn't that chargedown a fitting end to this mistake-ridden game

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

Bizarre game. Tahs too slick when they had the ball. Highlanders had plenty of it, but could not do much with it. Also good defence by the Tahs.

 

[vidiot]

Nice one Tahs! It wasn't pretty for a while there, but the end result was just what I expected against 3rd placed team in a weak conference.....

 

[ChargerWA]

Mistake ridden? Did you watch Crusaders V Blues? Considering the conditions this game was a veritable show piece for classy wet rugby.

 

[cyclopath]

Good win. Superb defence. A lot of mistakes at times, but scored some good tries. Scrum - massive. Lineout was OK too.
Great send-off for Al Baxter from the Stadium - he deserves it, a truly good bloke, and he can be proud of the effort he put out there tonight.

 

[Bowside]

So are the waratahs in the finals now or do they have to win next week?

Beauty of rugby is that it can be won playing totally different game plans. The tahs game plan (Discipline, strong defence, strong set piece) is no worse than the reds, as long as they execute it well.

 

[vidiot]

Tahs are good at strangling the attack of teams without weapons, and boy the highlanders looked bereft with the ball tonight on the face of another massive effort.

The 'tahs can't read to much beating a schoolboy conference team like the Highlanders. Next weekend they'll have to play an adult team in the Brumbies.

 

[Dumbledore]

So I've heard this Kurtley Beale guy can play a bit?

 

[qwerty51]

So I've heard this Kurtley Beale guy can play a bit?

Also heard he's wasted at the Rebels. Shame :/

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

So I've heard this Kurtley Beale guy can play a bit?

Will add much to the Rebels. Tahs are screwed without him.

If they lose next week and the Bulls lose today and next week they are in.

They will have to win next week if the Bulls and Sharks win tonight and hope either of those lose.

 

[Major Spliff Biggins]

Lets hope AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is able to perform at fullback as he did circa 2 seasons ago

 

[ChargerWA]

Not a single penalty kick attempted all night. That would have to be a first this year.
