Waratahs vs Blues

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Uhm, they played well enough, but definitely weren't awesome. Awesome to get the win though.

Don’t be a misery guts

[Dice]

An unexpected bonus point win. Sweet.

[antipodean]

Imagine if Beaudy was at five-eighth instead...

[Duluth]

Solid win in shitty conditions. Not worried about handling with a wet ball.

Scrum was shit hot

Ruru had a good hour but should’ve been subbed (if the coaches don’t rate Nock why waste a squad spot on him???)

[Rebound]

First set piece Nick is at halfback =try. Surely his better passing warrants a start. Ruru is a handbrake

[Kirwan]

@Duluth defence was really good too.

With better goal kicking that would have been an easier win, earlier.

Forwards are going well, backs have a bit to work on. TJ out is ok....

Well his Crusaders did lose...

Good effort from the forward pack tonite , set pieces scrum was superb , even I will have to admit the lineout was better once Parsons came on ...tight five worked very hard , and the loose forwards in the main bar the odd penalty from Gibson were very good....Talea looks to have nailed down one of the wing spots, definitely got X factor ..TJ and Marchant slowing getting their combinations together ..halves still remain a concern and will have to way better than this come Friday evening against a grumpy Saders outfit

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph My Highlanders lost as well and my Hurricanes are going to lose. too.

@Kirwan said in Waratahs vs Blues:

Lineout looked much better when Parsons came on, so he should start again.

He was fine. One of the more under rated players in NZ. I’m not saying he’s that good.. prob the 10th, 11th or 12th hooker in the country but no where near as bad as most people claim

Early days, but they seemed to be a bit more composed at key points in the game compared to last year

That scrum turnover on their own line under pressure was huge. In past years we would have screwed the pooch there.

[Tim]

Blues should've put away that team by 30 or 40. Accuracy was lacking and 10 play was poor.

Refereeing of the scrum was appalling. Should've been many more penalties to the Blues there.

Be nice That result puts the Blues result against the Chiefs in context too, they might be the team to beat this year.

[Tim]

Also, we need the Ioanes to start to convert opportunities.

Scoring 32 in poor conditions is not a bad result. Sometimes we just need to enjoy what we got.

[antipodean]

Tahs will be lucky to beat the Highlanders.

[Kirwan]

If we can keep in a solid position, BB is going to love playing behind this forward pack.
