Waratahs v Reds Rnd 1 2016

[p.Tah]

Ha ha ha uncontested scrums because Tahs have no props
Should have said that before Tilse came on

 

[Ash]

Tahs shamed into uncontested scrums.

Amusing, can't see the Reds scoring again.

I reckon they should have to call Tilse back on.

Ref feeling sorry for the Reds and trying to find a penalty.
Just penalised the grass for being too green and gave it to the Reds

Greene kicks it backwards to 8m out there, making it harder for his forwards who fluff the lineout anyway.

No team should go to uncontested scrums with 2 reserve props

Hooper turn over after Kerevi well tackle around the legs by Horwitz, Tahs instantly knock on.

45 seconds to go.

I think Kerevi should have popped there.

Talakai back on.

 

[p.Tah]

Reds in a dominate position to score but wanted to embarress Graham further so they give the ball to Tahs when they were 4m out from the Tahs line

EDIT: same thing happens 30 secs later

Need to match numbers on uncontested scrums ya numpties.

Yup, there should be some sanction for this in the rules, e.g. you should be down that player for the game to stop a flanker coming on. Not that it matters this game, Tilse is in the bin anyway.

Making up for that head high that wasn't a head high in the -1st half

 

[p.Tah]

Full time
30-10 to Tahs with a 3 try bonus point
Ugly game

 

[Bairdy]

The Tahs' props have really regressed this year - Robinson and Ryan in particular.

Time to give Cameron Orr and Tom Robertson a go surely

I'm not certain that Gardner actually has a good idea on a lot of the rules.

Oh....the final hooter woke me up. What a snore fest. So we won, but with little conviction. The ponies will punish us if we fall asleep like that.

 

[Ash]

Tahs a couple of levels above the Reds, but played to the Reds level in the second half.

For the Tahs, some well taken tries in the first half, but nothing to speak of in the second half and nothing from their bench. Their scrum looks worrying, bossed by a 7 man Reds scrum including the reserve Reds LHP. Mixed game from the Tahs.

For the Reds, not many positives. Some of the forwards toiled ok, but the ball was too slow too often and McIntyre just stand too deep and shovels shit on. Frisby provided some spark here and there, Hunt looked solid. Would love to see Nabuli with more ball.

Based on this week's performances the Tahs will struggle against the Brumbies

Pretty tedious game
I spent a lot of the time reading the papers
Thought Horwitz was good and Tui And Frisby for the Reds.
edit: oh and Holloway and Guildford

 

[Groucho]

Good signs from the Tahs, but meh.

Horwitz and Holloway look great. Wallabies of the future.

But nothing like the clinical dyamism of the Brumbes. Nothing like.

The Reds: so many good players, so little clue.

 

[Pfitzy]

We won. Flush the shitter, move on.

Thanks everyone. Makes a huge difference when you can read comments while listening to the call
