Actually kepu was only 2m in front of alby when he took the tap and tackles him. Should be a card. Blatant stuff

It amazes me how teams get away with so much. Never the force
Mate, you're sounding like a broken record.
Why not expend your energy focusing on why the Force play were so disjointed and could not capitalise on their territory and possession with points.

And everytime the Force got close to the line the're was a penalty against the tahs. Maybe the Force just need to learn to cheat better

I agree. We didn't look good at all. No decent set up. The ball did to make it to the wings or even Godwin. We have some work to do. Tahs are probably the best side in the comp on paper an scored a fluke try off the posts so wasn't terrible.

The ref was still shit. Worst performance of the weekend. 2 sets of rules. Not saying it would of won is the game but that's not the point. The force got away with coming in the side a bit. The tahs got away with a lot more

Well, I saw it a few times last year. Must all be part of the conspiracy among the refs launched a few years ago.
I've only ever seen the refs say no scrum. I've seen players ask for the lineout but refused. It's advantage for the knock on. It comes back to the knock on unless advantage is over.

Nope. Scrum. Unless advantage is over or he is the first ref to use that call
No if the force had knock it on than it is an option only thing is they didn't hooper attacked the ball (legally) and he was the one to knock it into touch once again missed by the ref who was not in position to see it but the tj just stood there

Like I said. Never seen the option given. It happens almost every game. I'll point it out next time.

That was interesting...

The Tahs have alot of work to be done, despite winning easily. Constantly flying into defense, very little defensive technique, attacking rucks pretty recklessly, the forward play could do with alot more accuracy.

That was one of the worst performances from the Force. So many errors that are just not acceptable.

It was just too easy in the end, I can't remember a professional rugby team allowing the opposition to play so freely.

Holmes doesn't look like the answer at 10 either. Alby tried hard.

MMM needs to start, he is your best player.

I just got back from the game.

Decided this year even tho i hate the tahs i'll go to a few home games to be more active in supporting aus ra ra so this was my first outing.

Very impressed with the Tahs performance. Ran hard and aggressively at holes then were committed and powerful in the contact contest. They did what most good teams do, turned it on when the opportunity was there. Nice.

Force looked disorganised and lazy. How are they trying to win the game exactly? kick too much for my liking. Goodwin needs to just run run.
The main problem was in defence where they where too slow lining up and gave up easily when a break was made. Their body language looked like a team that couldn't care less.
