Waratahs v Highlanders, Rd 1, Fri 14 6.35pm 2025

[Adam84]

Ahh sheesh… Tahs attacking on on 22 and Edmed does a nothing kick over the top

 

[Major Tom]

Geez this surface is shithouse!

 

[Adam84]

Jorgensen and JS make a slight break and get over advantage line, quick ball to Walton who kicks it over the top to Highlanders 22 who take it on the full..

 

[Adam84]

I feel on edge watching they’re game style right now, they need to calm down and slow it down and focus on protecting ball

Yeah need to just build pressure and consecutive phases.. they’re kicking it away around 2-3 phases almost every time

 

[Wilson]

Gleeson's hands still poor after his issue last year. Might be a bit over keen and in his head again.

Tackling well though

Driving me crazy

He’s got the hands of Poido.. great runner, but never looks to pass or link up.

 

[Wilson]

the landers are just playing so much smarter here, very much the difference between a team that has been together for a while and one that hasn't

 

[LeCheese]

To be fair on Gleeson, with the amount of dropped ball we’re seeing, it’s probably like a bar of soap out there

 

[Marbig]

Langi having a shocker, multiple drops and an incredibly lazy tackle right before that last Highlanders try

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

That should be a yellow
If it’s a red thank god for the 20 minute red

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Gleeson getting into it though. Like to to see some others get the ball. Leota has a drop and a penalty on his carries.

Shame for Porecki. He was playing well for a bloke off so little footy.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Ah yes the reverse jynx.

 

[Marbig]

Great to hear Turunui still feels the need to whinge about penalties. Even when I agree with him, it’s just such poor commentary

 

[Wilson]

Tupou almost botched that with his pass

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Great to hear Turunui still feels the need to whinge about penalties. Even when I agree with him, it’s just such poor commentary

Could be Phil Kearns….

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Shit like that from Walton is hook worthy.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Seriously how is Porecki back on? He looked done and struggling to get up. What are the Rugby rules re showing signs. He’d be off in a league game with what he showed.

 

[Yoda]

Highlanders look to be more composed.

 

[Mick The Munch]

Big crowd
