Tahs 11 is my MOM
As a back, he just needs to avoid joining mauls.
The Tahs are much improved under Coleman.

Felt like he learned a new Law tonight.

I dont want to come across as whining about the ref but the bloke who ended Hoopers night with a high tackle should have already been sent from the field a few minutes earlier for direct contact to the head.
O'Keefe failed on the player safety front IMO.

At least a penalty. Have seen similar get carded, most agreed live with that view.
The second was awful. Scott Barrett level awful.

A penalty for the technical violation, sure. But if you're sending players from the field because they bend over and inadvertently knock heads with a player who is spinning and dipping, the game is ruined.

@antipodean he was spinning but barely dipped at all. Defender made no effort to lower his body height.

Second part isn’t true, he was just tall. He bent at the hips, that’s the main thing that saved him.
Should have been a penalty IMO, he still hit the guy high.

The start of a new era...
I did laugh. Harrison is a clown of a commentator.
Havili and Goodhue demonstrated they're not the answer for the All Black's midfield.

@Kirwan said in Waratahs v Crusaders:
I think being outside DH was the biggest problem for him,
@antipodean said in Waratahs v Crusaders:
Whitelock looked old tonight. Crusaders backrow badly dominated too.
My Safe White boy XV looks bang on and I think I might add Cullen Grace after tonight.

@Tim they missed him badly

So what is Fossie going to do now Sader Blacks were terrible. Tahs Loosies were awesome.
On the plus side, Jack Goodhue was starting to get back into his traps in the last 30 minutes and Reece seemed to do OK.

Well done the Tahs, pleased for @NTA.
Cheers.
Missed most of it as I'm at my son's 18th birthday party while simultaneously having a migraine. Something to do with playing most of first grade at THP I think.
First two tries were nice. Dylan Pietsch is the ex-7s player who had been threatening for a while.
Coleman has given these guys work ethic.
