Super Rugby Rnd 1: Waratahs v Drua

[Rebel man]

Is Stan crashing for anybody else? I have never had an issue with Stan Sports in the past but has dropped out a few times in the second half

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Where is the Fijian flair. Look guileless on attack, just another bog-standard boring "pro-style" prod and plod job.

 

[Confucius Say]

Impressed with the Tahs defence work in tight. Plenty of grunt, technically pretty good too. A good sign early in the season.

Yeah I disagree. I’m sure at the end of the game they’re going to talk up Swinton that he’s been good but I have watched him closely tonight and his tackling technique is unconvincing. He hits but doesn’t stick. Or he misses. Need to work on this because all the huff and puff on its own is not effective.

 

[Rebel man]

No they don’t…

SANTOS is in big letters across the back

Sorry that was meant to say three of the four. My apologies

And the rest of the team don't count?

 

[Confucius Say]

Holloway very good. Cridge solid. But Swinton is a Wallaby so he should be much better.
Did you see that try?

Lower back isn’t the 4th most valuable…

Shorts sponsor and shoulder are the next most valuable. Which are filled.. if you want to be a pedant 3 of the 5 most valuable are filled.

either way hardly relevant match thread

Yeah, but I'm talking about the team as a whole, not 1 player.

 

[A mutterer]

tahs need to tighten up the discipline. our replacement front row need to step up.

 

[Confucius Say]

Before the game Darren Coleman said he wanted to limit Drua’s attacking opportunities and the NSW defence has definitely done that.

nah, been working fine

 

[molman]

I've been impressed with Tane Edmed in the trials and his touches so far.

Working well for me on the other side of the island.

 

[Drew]

It is a massive cop out

Nah. Reality.

 

[John S]

Tahs replacement front row really struggling

 

[A mutterer]

our 18 is getting towelled up

 

[cyclopath]

our 18 is getting towelled up

Isn't he just? Not a great showing at all.

 

[John S]

That's the second front row going down in not long.....................

 

[A mutterer]

Isn't he just? Not a great showing at all.

was he the replacement last week against the reds? our scrum wasnt this bad in the 2nd half against thor.

 

[Froggy]

Surely Ruan Smith in next week!
