Waratahs v Highlanders

[MajorPom]

Highlanders hot on attack ON THE LINE. Tats steal the ball and stop the attack.

By the Aaron Smith definition, thats a clear yellow card.

Yes I'm surprised that wasn't a card. Should have been at least a warning.

[antipodean]

Ref's argument is idiotic. If Hooper misses, he's left a huge gap in the line.

[Bones]

Sopoaga needs to stop panicking.

The stitch up is on fullas.

Agree. He should have had a look at the wide angle. If he looks at the wide angle and determines there's no attacking play then fair enough no YC, but to not even look was poor and inconsistent (and frankly a bad look).

He's playing like mud.

[Bones]

Something needs to be done about Hooper's head trying to eat his eyeballs.

[Machpants]

I LOATHE it when halfbakcs try and play the ref rather than the game FFS Toilet Boy!

[ACT Crusader]

This is some dire footy

[Stargazer]

So why didn't Beale get a card for a deliberate knock-on? Not different to Smith's.

[Bones]

That is a tight forward pass call.

[antipodean]

How can we only have 15 on the board when they're playing with 14 and we outnumbered them by two for 10 mins?

[Bones]

@antipodean and almost twice as much possession...

[Siam]

@bones fuck yeah. That ball travelled less forward than those videos showing forward momentum alters the ball path

Well I’ve never seen someone kick a player like that before. Red?

The Highlanders and Counties can invite Tevita Nabura to catch the next slow boat back to Suva for mine. Apply for a job with a street gang or something.

There is no place in the game for a bloke who has a think about it first and then carefully kicks a man in the face. You've got to wonder what sort of debased mindset comes up with that brilliant idea?

It has ever been thus for the Waratahs.

[Bones]

Franklin or Lousi for the ABs? Franklin has been a defensive monster the last couple of games.

[Bones]

Oh now the officials start trying to make up for the first half...
