Waratahs v Blues

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Blues looking very sharp so far. Think Waratahs might be in trouble.

Yes. I am impressed so far - and surprised.

[Gunner]

@Rapido their home kit is considerably darker isn't it?
Which would clash much less.

[Gunner]

@Rancid-Schnitzel shut up man, they've got the dropsies since you posted that!
Idiot....

Their home kit is almost a replica of NSW minus the shorts. Maybe, perhaps u could describe it as dark blue merging into a dirty light blue.

Btw I like nsw kit. It's the Blues who have lost their identity.

[Gunner]

@Rapido my bad, I mustn't have paid enough attention to their kit lately.
Their traditional darker strip must be stuck in my mind.

[Gunner]

Another penalty followed up by a try to R Ioane.

0-16

[Damo]

Seems a bit weird to have a blue home strip and a blue away strip - even if they are different shades. Surely they should have a red alternate strip or something similar.

16-0 bitch

[Gunner]

@Rancid-Schnitzel I'm not getting carried away at 0-16, it is the Blues after all...

But I'll give you that, they are going well so far.

They could go with the Harbour maroon.

hometown replays are a joke, yesterday it was the cheetahs, with only replays favorable to the local team being shown. Just now the tahs 1 or 2 got penalised for bending over and not supporting his body weight. I wasn't sure, since he's so short, perhaps he was standing up. Anyway, the local video techs replayed it at least 4 times, zooming in.

[Gunner]

Hometown call there.

Folau clearly held up and a maul created, but the ref calls tackle so the two Blues tacklers have to let go.

Tahs also getting away with reaching around the lineout jumper in the air and interfering with the ball. Surely putting your arms around a player to go at the ball is still playing the man in the air?

[Gunner]

Another penalty.
Keep kicking the 3s lads

[Bones]

@Gunner knee on the ground = tackle.

[Gunner]

@Bones yea but I didn't see his knees anywhere near the ground until well after a maul should have been called.

[Gunner]

Blues backs must think they're playing league, the whole backline has been well ahead of the kicker on 2 or 3 occasions.

[Wairau]

really great play in the run up to this try, several fantastic runs

[Kirwan]

This is getting ugly. Nice composed play for the whole 40 from the Blues

Suffocating the Tahs.
