Waratahs v Highlanders, semi-final, Saturday 27 June

[KOB1987]

Cracker of a game. Will I be in possession of a shiny new avatar at the end? Too close to call but I am hopeful.

apparently I need to give you a hard time about now you sheep shagger

 

[ACR]

Completely sealed it off. SLOPPY play from the Tahs.

Still a lack of replays.

 

[Scoey]

That's got me buggered. How is that not another penalty? None of them were back 10 but you never see that pinged. It's cynical in every sense of the word.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Tactical bomb dropping right on top of Foley defending on the wing is working an absolute treat at the moment. Probably the blueprint for how to beat the Wallabies in a couple of months time too.

 

[Ash]

Messy second half start from the Tahs. Bizarre stuff.

Tahs extra lucky as they looked offside from the 5m A. Smith quick tap.

 

[Marcelo]

Jesus christ! Knock-on by Aaron Smith

Yup, that's the 3rd or 4th bomb to Foley that he's failed to take tonight. Definite target from the Highlanders, first time a team has really targeted him this year.

 

[Scoey]

Rough penalty. Hooper was well and truly isolated.

 

[FrankLind]

Shit Hoopah is fast.

 

[Ash]

Great break Hooper, that's his specialty.

 

[Marcelo]

Hoo-pahh

 

[Upthenuts]

winning the penalty after the props hand is on the ground

 

[Ash]

Please remind me why Kearns comments on Tahs games? He should've done the earlier one.

 

[Tordah]

that was a rubbish call, the ball was out there

 

[Scoey]

What the fuck was wrong with that?

 

[ACR]

Did he ACTUALLY dive over the ruck? Potgeiter adding to the tally of cheap shots.

 

[Ash]

That is a weird call from Joubert. He's either offside, or onside. Diving to tackle the halfback after he's taken a step is fine, if he's onside.

 

[A mutterer]

foley seems like he's starting to settle in

 

[Scoey]

Naholo!!

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Try Naholo! Clan back in front. Conversion misses, 20-17.
