Blues v Waratahs

[Derpus]

So trying to put a positive spin on this tripe, Bell and Gordon both look really good. A couple of locks and wingers and the Waratahs might actually be able to compete with someone.

Lovely box kick Nock.

When he gets the distance right they are always contestable, because he gets so much height.

[gt12]

Neepkins with a good first touch. Nice turnover

[antipodean]

As good as Zarn has been, and he has, Otere has been poor.

@bones nor do the refs, apparently.

I found this...

A penalty try is awarded between the goal posts if foul play by the opposing team prevents a probable try from being scored, or scored in a more advantageous position. A player guilty of this must be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off. No conversion is attempted.

Maybe it's semantics...."a player" but not "a front row".

Looked forward

[gt12]

Touch judge is right there.

[Derpus]

That pretty much sums up the last 10 years of Australian rugby

I cant believe that wasn’t checked, has the video ref already started on the Ham sandwiches?

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 he saw Smithy walking toward him so went to lock the door

[gt12]

Blues win by plenty but you’d have to say they left plenty out there.

[Derpus]

@gt12 kiwis rolling out their b game against the reserve grade teams.

Seriously, though. Gotta do something about the refs.

Top of the table. Need to lift to compete with reds and Brumbies, but we'll take it

[Kruse]

Well - in hindsight, it was a fucking travesty that after the Ref gave that YC - he didn't give another one for the deliberate knock-on in the same play, and when giving the penalty-try - he didn't give another YC to some random forward.

I'd like to think that a 12-man Waratahs team wouldn't have been able to score that last try of theirs, and fuck not one, but two, of my "Category bonus points" in the tipping.

Good work rate on defence by a few forwards

Akira 17 tackles 1 miss, Goodhue 15 tackles 1 miss, Robinson 18 tackles 2 misses

Still keen to see if Sullivan is going to be a running threat at this level, but ball in hand he is almost Carter like in his poise and time. Hope he develops into what he looks like he could be.

Could be like Beauds but with a better boot.
