Waratahs v Crusaders, round 15, Saturday 23 May @ Homebush

[FrankLind]

So if you lift in the tackle AND punch someone, do you just get carded for the first offense?

 

[qwerty51]

Tahs doing a lot of off the ball stuff and physically targeting Whitelock, Carter, Read and McCaw. Great to see.

 

[Dctarget]

How is Hooper playing hooker and flanker, weird

 

[Ash]

Scrum now.

Crusaders are easily getting over the advantage line, Tahs struggling to contain them. In return, the Tahs attack has gone nowhere most of the time.

The way this game is going, the Tahs should just defend until the Crusaders make a mistake, because they are scoring nearly every time.

Hmm...thought the purpose of using head tape was to cover your ears. Hugh roach clearly failed this class at hooker school.

They look identical!

 

[Dctarget]

They look identical!

Please tell me Roach skateboards as well

Hooper does it to tie his hair I assume Roach is doing the same?

 

[cyclopath]

Tahs defence looking very stretched. Barely covering.

 

[Ash]

Crusaders may set some record for number of turnovers given up in this game!

 

[Ash]

Again, turnover / dropped ball Crusaders, Tahs in. There's a pattern emerging in this game!

 

[Ash]

Hold the phone. That'll be a knock on from Dennis. No try.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Knock-on Dave Dennis, no try. Dodged a bullet there, some ref's wouldn't have checked.

 

[Ash]

Bad luck Tahs, that would've been the game I think.

Crusaders are just dropping so much ball, some under pressure, some not.

 

[Tahspark]

Sensational tackle by Dennis, great timing, pity about the wee knock on.

 

[No4918]

Saders doing a good job of slowing the ball down

 

[Tordah]

ref is doing really well but his knock on advantages are ridiculously long. 5 phases and 10 meters gained in ground

 

[Ash]

That was much better from the Tahs forwards, rolling over the advantage line after a Beale break. Nearly resulted in a try after a long build up, good rugby.

Would still love to see Foley and Beale do more with the ball, the Tahs are struggling to get the ball wider than a channel or two unless it's a wrap play.

And, another break Crusaders follow by another immediate turnover.

 

[Ash]

Great kick from Nadolo.

Sorry Qwerty, Nadolo way ahead of Naiyaravoro at this stage. Looking like you're getting a new avatar if this continues.....

 

[Tahspark]

Folau loves those Hail Mary passes, would love to see him go to ground more when he's already done the damage over the advantage line. Such great attacking platforms come to nought in those situations too often for mine.
