Force v Waratahs, round 13, Saturday 9 May

[daz]

Fuck. Come on the Force! Us Rebels need you to win.

Don't think of winning as doing Victoria a favour; think of it as a chance to lord it over NSW!

 

[djeff]

Is this bloke eligble for the wallabies?

 

[Ash]

Both teams trading pretty aimless kicks down the centre of the park, until Phipps finally finds grass and it runs into the Force in goal.

Phipp's looked like someone shat in his cereal

 

[Ash]

Phipps fumbles from the base of a ruck after the Tahs go a bit backwards for a few rucks, then Chapman handles from about 50cm in front.

Tahs rely on their strong runners getting over the advantage line, but their passes and runners have been slightly off and the Force defence up quick and aggressively to really put the Tahs off their game.

Ebersohn with a 53m penalty attempt, but it's wide.

I reckon that first Force try was some great rugby, not sure you are watching two teams play.

There has been a lot of rubbish by both sides between those moments!

I can't believe gregan didn't get hit more as a player.

 

[Ash]

There has been some really average kicking in this game tonight, both teams seem content to just kick it to each other without much intent.

 

[cyclopath]

Da fuq was that, Foley?

 

[galumay]

Anyway, all signs of rugby vanished again!

Foley spanks an attacking kick over the in goal line. Rare and bizarre error.

Somehow the Force have put the Tahs off their game and they've been suckered into the kind of rugby that the Force want.

Been a pretty flat game apart from those two tries and the odd run or half break.

 

[Ash]

Sigh. Ebersohn with a shocker of a kick, Force on attack 40m out and he kicks it right to Folau, 20m out. Folau then kicks it into touch 30m out.

Shocking right now from both teams.

Force maul it and the Tahs again come in from the side. They've struggled all game with the Force maul. Ref warns them now.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Great maul by the Force for some meat.

That may seal the deal for the lads from the west.

 

[Tordah]

mauls suck ass. Defenders taken out of play by changing lanes.
Looked good when it started rolling but not sure that started off legally.

 

[Ash]

25m Force maul, try.

 

[Ash]

mauls suck ass. Defenders taken out of play by changing lanes

Yeah, would like to see the peel off again to see if it was the main maul or changed lanes.

 

[cyclopath]

Great maul by the Force

Indeed it was. And some bloody awful attempted maul defence. They all bloody missed! Fark. Tahs are awful here.

 

[Pedrolicus]

I bet spiro wishes he emailed some refs during the week.

 

[todd4]

Was that an impressive rolling maul?! TRY
