Waratahs vs Brumbies RD 14 Saturday 18th May

[Bairdy]

Brumbies playing very conservatively.

 

[Swat]

Tah man:

 

[Ash]

Nice hands from the Tahs as they go through the hands.

Barnes with a pass to an isloated Hooper, but Barnes wraps and takes an offload and gets in space. He runs 20m and goes over in a two man tackle. Walsh gives the try,

Nothing was on there, Barnes threw a hospital pass to Hooper who managed to get it back to Barnes and he just strolled through the gap left by the Brumbies.

 

[Scoey]

Brumbies playing very conservatively.

As opposed to.........?

 

[Ash]

Barnes just misses the conversion.

22 - 11 to the Brumbies, 14 to go.

Chapman with a nice take off the restart. Barnes clears to Mogg who runs and beats a few across field, channelling Mick Hankook.

Kicking duel ensues.

 

[Swat]

As opposed to...?

Liberally?

 

[Ash]

Alexander off, Ruan Smith on.

13 to go.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies starting to dominate possession and field position again.

Folau kicks back again after White grubbers through with an overlap. Wasted.

11 to go.

 

[Mr Doug]

As opposed to...?

As opposed to playing like Labor; promising alot, but not delivering!

 

[Ash]

McCabe beats one with his hit up. To'omua grubbers to the Tahs 22 and the Tahs clear. Huge kick from Barnes goes into the Brumbies goal from the Tahs 22. This will give the Tahs some field possesion.....

But Mogg takes it quickly, nearly gets to halfway with the Tahs defence stretched. And then To'omua kicks it out on the full. Wasted play from the Brumbies.

 

[Swat]

To'omua making some poor decisions, hurting his WB chances. But who know's Robbie probably thinks kicking straight away when you've got an overlap as sound.

 

[Scoey]

Fuck me these injuries are getting a bit ridiculous!

 

[Ash]

McCabe off! Coleman on. Physio was working on his calves.

 

[boyo]

Agree with Kafe about AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

 

[Ash]

Not a great showing from McCabe, a couple of hit ups to his name only.

Tahs with some ball now. Barnes with a short ball to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Fainga'a steals it on the ground and the Tahs get a penalty about 47m out out to the right side.

Tahs kick for touch.

 

[Scoey]

Not taking the shot then, the kick for touch needed to get them inside the 22

 

[Swat]

The injury bug watching this game:

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Betham with the try!

I wouldnt say it is the match winner just yet commentators, Brumbies still have a smidge of time left.

 

[Ash]

Brumbies warned for closing the gap at the lineout. Don't know why Walsh didn't let they one play on, the Tahs won the ball. Tahs maul, but go nowhere. Tahs go acrossfield on the Tahs 22.

Foley wide ball to Betham, outside his man, steps the cover and he's in! Great try, great pass from Foley and great run from Betham. It goes to the TMO though.

 

[Bairdy]

Barnes' cutout passes just put the nail in the coffin of any chance Quade had of being in the 30 man squad.
