Waratahs v Highlanders
-
The curse against the Tahs has been exorcised. Thanks be to Nabura's brainfart.

The Waratahs with an ounce of luck could have beaten the Blues and Saders..is Aussie rugby really as bad as some in the media would lead us to believe..?..good for the comp I say,even last night the Reds I thought gave a good account of themselves

Ha - nice to see a bit of personality I suppose ...
Biggest problem super rugby has in oz is obvious. The crowds are tiny.
@majorrage Crowds will be back as soon as they start winning again.

@steven-harris the mind is a powerful muscle.
If you don't truly believe you can win...

Complete bullshit. Aaron Smith to the bin for a deliberate knock-down. IMO he tried to catch it.
Disagree. He's just stuck a hand out with no realistic chance to catch the ball. PK for sure, and given the context a YC is fair.
Sux though.
@damo and that's the thing about the 'deliberate knock' is that you may have had no chance to genuinely intercept, BUT if you get a finger to it and propel it up it buys you time whereby you have a chance or at least the opportunity to regather, even if you fail....is that chance of regathering enough to change from YC possible PT to just a penalty.
As for the Karate Kid, wtf man...that should get at least a week too

One in a row!
Ha ha - the streak is on. 1-0 so far
You should be a Blues fan with optimism like that -
Aww shit. Two bad games in the last 3
Paying a heavy price for our tactic of tackling ing all day and nailing continuity and conversion of chances. Not that that tactic hasn't served us well but it needs constant vigilance and line speed. We left a lot of space for the tahs backline when they flung it.Those early byes are lingering menacingly somehow I think
But, the effort and lift they showed with 14 men was somewhat encouraging, however you can't win away with 14 in pro rugby too often.
Bit of a bugger but, fuck it that's sport.
Bit cloudy when 3 deliberate knock ons were penalised and the yellow card was for the one 45metres from the tryline ...
Understood the rationale for the line break distinction but you're attributing a lot of scheming and conspiracy suggesting that Nugget was deliberately and thoughtfully killing a try 40 odd metres out.
Fair win Warratahs and a bit of a job for Mauger to rekindle the Clan's spark
