Waratahs v Chiefs - Round 14 - Friday 27 May 2016

[galumay]

I think some here just like bagging Australian rugby, regardless of what is actually happening on the field.

To be fair this is the best an Aussie team has played all season - by a significant margin.

 

[Pfitzy]

OK so I can't get videos to play in the FoxSports rugby match centre thing.

Just comes up with a blank screen and nothingness.

And yet, according to some of the comments on here the didn't deserve to be in front at half time.

They didnt, Chiefs were clearly the better team, over 70% territory, only behind because of their kicking and 2 tries to the Tahs against the run of play.

They deserve to be in front in the 2nd half, they have played the best half of rugby by an aussie team for the season IMO.

 

[galumay]

Could have gone either way, but more luck for the Tah's - which is what happens when you play positive footy. More redemption for Phipps.

 

[ACR]

Pretty bloody lucky. There's no way Phipps has thrown that level.

The Reds & Force have both had games where they had better stats but clearly weren't the better team. As I said, I missed the first 15 or so, but the Chiefs must have been clearly better in that time, because the Tahs have been the better side the whole time I watched - even when playing 14 on 15.

They've been better for the last 20.

Well we will just have to agree to disagree! (This isnt done and dusted yet either.)

the Waratahs have been extremely good in the 2nd half, the Chiefs have been the better team in the first half. Even your Aussie commentators were saying the Tahs could be very happy not to be behind by a bunch

 

[Pfitzy]

Anyway, the fat lady sings in about 10 minutes, so nothing is reasonable assumption until then.

So now our commentators know what their talking about.

No! It was coincidence.

I can hear her tuning up with 6 minutes to go!

EDIT 3 to go and she is warbling! Dempsey gets a pie.

 

[Pfitzy]

She'd better be backstage, that's for sure.

 

[boyo]

Ah Cane, you've done it again

 

[boyo]

Booyah

 

[Cbrando]

Offloads and support. Who'd have thought?

 

[ACR]

Ah Cane, you've done it again

He is a magnet head.

Waratahs too good in the 2nd half and Chiefs sloppy.
