Yep. He didn't look happy when he came off.

 

[suckerforred]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!! Tah's must have buried a chinaman somewhere. Quad, calf, hammy, knee?

I hope it aint to bad.

 

[suckerforred]

Did you fall off lline LG?

 

[Lee Grant]

Bugger just lost 3 paragraphs.

Barnes has tightness in groin and hammy.

 

[Lee Grant]

Kingston scored before half time (they are playing 40 + 20 and the Twos are playing 2 x 20s.)

26-0 after 40 minutes. Pretorius hot; Fat Cat came into own in last 15 minutes. Horne and Kingston look ready to go next week. Lopeti for Palu in 3rd Q.

2nd "half" Fitz over; Hangers taking kicks now - missed 1st one - got this one - 33-0 @ 48 mins

Right quad, came off after kicking conversion.

 

[p.Tah]

Who is kicking with BB off?

Hangers

 

[Lee Grant]

Another good run Lopeti.

Pretorius off McKibbin on. Crowd 4063 - Fitz limping

 

[Lee Grant]

Good run Mumm - Fitzy off Ulugia on.

 

[Lee Grant]

Kepu and McCutcheon drop balls. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) coming into his work in 2H, Tahs looking tired.

Horne off - OK - Hodge on - still 33-0 @ 60 mins

Announcers are calling the 2 x 20 mins section, the 2nd half

 

[Lee Grant]

Tahs scrum good all night - but Dennis drops ball from one.

Some poor passes by Hangers and also earlier by Barnes.

Tahs A team look scrappy but B. Foley tricky. Good run 12. Browne. L/O 5 metre Tahs on attack, but Metuisela drops ball cold.

 

[Lee Grant]

Metuisela drops pass from Betham on Tonga goal line - not having a great night with his hands.

Maul try Tilse - conversion good - 40-0. Still scrappy.

Are we there yet?

 

[Lee Grant]

Tonga 5 minutes of mauling attempting try but Ulugia forces fumble. 40-0 @ 80 minutes with 20 minutes to go.

 

[kiap]

Thanks for the updates, LG.

100 minutes of football. Maybe Rugby can challenge AFL after all.

 

[Lee Grant]

Tahs A press Tonga goal line but a couple of dropped balls (one Stanford) spoil effort.

Foley switches to 10; Browne to 15; Foley launches backline move; Alcock comes in to score with slashing run; Trist conversion - 47-0.

 

[rugbysmartarse]

How did cutch look? like a sevens player trying to be hard again, or was he effective?

 

[Lee Grant]

Pete Betham over in corner after Leota break; Tonga tiring; conversion Foley hits bar; 52-0

 

[Lee Grant]

Game over with Tahs pressing 52-0

Voted for Pretorius for MOTM - everybody else did too.

Tahs and Tahs A not as good as last week; need to lift.
