Waratahs v Stormers, rd 13 Super Rugby 2013

[qwerty51]

Lack of continuity hurting the Tahs - they just need to settle, be patient and let it happen.

That works in the Stormer's defence favour.

 

[Ash]

Stormers knock on, 35 out from their own line.

Tahs slowly go forward, Foley tries a drop goal, just out to the left. That was after about 9 phases of nowhere.

 

[Pfitzy]

Douglas has been doing a great job on the mauls, works his way through and gets his hands on the carrier.

Paddy Ryan has gone backwards.

Based on 5 minutes?

Timani will be glad he's pissing off overseas - useless tonight

 

[CTPE]

Field goal attempt = early white flag? Come on boys - play the Cheika way and it will come.

 

[Ash]

Habana nearly retakes the 22 drop, still has a ton of speed. Knocks on though.

Chapman on for Palu.

Field goal attempt = early white flag? Come on boys - play the Cheika way and it will come.

Stormers defence too good for that. Tahs need to vary it - and here comes Kicker Barnes

Here's Archie's Dad

 

[Ash]

Tahs stuck midfield, going nowhere for 10 phases before stoeln from Foley. de Jongh loses it, Douglas kicks ahead, Habana cleans up and makes the Tahs pay with a big kick.

Barnes comes on, Foley off. Barnes at 10.

 

[Pfitzy]

Not a penalty.

Yep running it won't work, but their lineout isn't good enough atm to play territory.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

This stormers defence is like a macadamia nut.

Gigantor is no. Skelton's Debut.

 

[Ash]

Tahs attack has been side to side, they haven't earnt the right to go wide.

Stormers steal the lineout, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gives away a penalty 40 out to the right.

Tahs having issues, going nowhere.

 

[hazzaj]

was that a penalty against AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)?

how can the tackler have incorrect entry? what am i missing here

 

[Ash]

Skelton on for Timani.

Tahs attack has been too predictable, Stormers defence fantastic.

 

[Ash]

Pieterson kicks it, 15 - 11 53 gone.

Folau knocks back the kick off, Barnes gets it. Ryan half break few phases later with a nice short pop pass and good line, Tahs get to 22 out but then go across field and knock on.

Barnes been a bit of a spark so far.

It was not. Pollock was wrong.

Berrick not playing flat enough

 

[qwerty51]

He can kick.

 

[Pfitzy]

Now is the time

 

[Ash]

Was 63 gone sorry.

Bit of an unfortunate shot of Fatcat's "bulk" there.

Stormers kick deep, Folau clears from his 22. Great kick, to about 37 out from the Stormers' line.

COME ON TAHS
