Waratahs v Highlanders Sun 6th July @ the SFS

[ChargerWA]

Uncontested scrums coming up?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Tahs bomb a certain try but with 70% possession & territory it's only a matter of time.

 

[teach]

Justice as the try would have come from a forward pass further back.

 

[maxdacat]

11-3 tahs

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Consolation prize keeps the score ticking over. Foley PK from 40 metres out. Score now Tahs 11 - Clan 3. 30 minutes.

 

[teach]

Thats more like it.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Hoiles also in from the side on that maul.

Great take Bucky

 

[teach]

11-6. Keeping it close

 

[boyo]

Got it. It's Solo today. Doing Dry July. The waist line will thank me.

Another one. (@boyo #97)

The sugar in Solo won't help your waist-line

 

[A mutterer]

beale beaten twice in that play

 

[FilthRugby]

Apart from the silly infringement (leading to a YC) Aaron Smith has been playing fantastic footy this year!

A bit distressing when the heading into Bledisloe Cup territory as a Wallabies fan.

I think it's a battle between Phipps and Smith as to whom can scream louder in this game, I think Nicholas will get those chocolates.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Landers (Sopoaga) need to vary their attack. A bit too predictable

 

[ACT Crusader]

A bit upright from Hooper. Ball too high.

 

[maxdacat]

bullshit penalty there.

 

[teach]

I suspect the game plan may get changed at half time. Kicking away possession not working too well.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Ben Smith into the game. Phipps off his feet.

Great hit by Hooper

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Here comes another 3 for the clan. 45 metres out, 15 metres from touch.

Sopoaga nails it.

11 NSW Clan 9. 39 minutes.

Siren sounds. No change to score. Into the sheds for some oranges.

 

[Moono75]

Clan on the move.

 

[teach]

Well. First half not going to everybodies predictions. I should have had more faith. Highlanders looking like they are getting more confident. Will be a riveting second half.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Clan would have to be happy, only 2 down after Tahs totally dominated the first 25 min & they had a man in the bin. May be a tad closer than some of us thought?
