Waratahs v Rebels RD 6

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^Like scoring the opening try, perhaps?

Rebels 8 NSW 3 after 21 minutes.

 

[KevinO]

Stirzakers off

 

[cyclopath]

Tahs looking like they just met in the change room beforehand. This augurs well.

 

[Highlander35]

Hope Nic is OK.

 

[cyclopath]

Or maybe they didn't actually say hello to each other. What the actual fuck is wrong with these guys? Absolutely appalling display thus far.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Like our annual capitulation to the Force.

Toby Smith grabs some meat. Converted for Rebels to lead 15-3 after 27 minutes.

 

[cyclopath]

That said, my margin tip is looking good - Rebels by 15 looks easy.

 

[KevinO]

Stirzakers off

and back on

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Call me reactionary but show Gibson the fucking door now. Concentrate on blooding new players for the rest of the season. The Tahs are rudderless. Their skill execution is worse than shit and even though they sometimes use the rush defence its so fucking passive. Seriously. They don't seem interested and there is zero hunger.

 

[cyclopath]

Maybe there's a movie on...........
This is execrable.

 

[Ruggernut]

Big difference between Cheika and Gibson

 

[Slim 293]

What was Folau thinking there?!

That was worse than Toua's pass for Coleman last night..........

You might have nailed it as Izzy gets YC for pretty dumb play.

Rebels convert penalty to stretch their lead to @Cyclopath's prediction. Rebels 18 - NSW 3 32 minutes gone. NSW playing with 14 until oranges.

Just checked, The Brady Bunch is on, that would be more entertaining than watching this puss.

I know everyone loves to blame coaches for a complete lack of accuracy, skill, discipline and application but surely the players themselves need to be answerable for such a dire and shameful performance?

The Tah's are disgracing themselves here, its not like they are playing great opposition.

......... and back off.

 

[boyo]

The Tahs couldn't catch a cold atm.

Agreed. Enough players with lots of Super and Test experience that they shouldn't need a crib sheet to actually play some semi-respectable rugby. Pathetic effort thus far.

You blokes didn't watch the U20 Rebels v Waratahs game then. This is shaping up to be a repeat performance.
It's still on youtube if you are of a masochistic (for NSW) bent.

No. I found something enjoyable to do instead. Wish I was still doing it.

Don't think a Tahs fan with any sort common sense or introspection would be disrespecting the quality of the Rebels. Tahs have been very definition of mediocre this season, this game is no difference.
