Sick of hearing about injuries, poor excuse... Reds are in the same boat and also the Blues tonight...

Tars just played like shit and kicked everything away, again....

Again we see the lack of accuracy in execution. The tahs play a conservative risk free game all year (the same as last year) and when the time comes when they must play a passing game they are unable to execute it. They well have trained for it but they just haven't played those tactics on the field. At least Kearns said it at the end "Terrible from the Tahs, just too much dropped ball...."

White noise will begin from the appologists shortly.

Waratahs spent only 2% of the 2nd half inside the Blues 22...
Tahs had only 35% possession in the 2nd half as well.
Blues had missed 16 tackles by halftime to the Tahs 4. By the 72nd minutes Blues had missed only 1 more, then 3 more in the 73rd min for the Tahs 2nd try,

He was horrible. They also should have brought Alcock on earlier. The lineout was shocking and there was way too much dropped ball and bad kicking. In the end they weren't good enough and didn't turn up where they really needed to at the breakdown.

No they're not.

Reds aren't missing Slipper, Holmes, Fainga'a, Samo, Higginbotham, Fainga'a, Cooper, Genia, Harris, Ioane, Hanson

Agreed, Fox did a list of the Tah injuries and the Reds are no where near the same amount or the same amount of critical players. That being said the Tahs obsession with that bloody chip kick, poor handling, and not cleaning up the ball when it was on the ground went some way to de-railing them.
