I might be leaving at half time, this is shambolic.

 

[cyclopath]

This is nasty.

Uh oh.

Secure the perimeter, NSFW fans; Shiggers is going to be coming in hot.

Michael Hooper, the ultimate man

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

I don't know if I've ever seen a try quite like that Hooper one. There were players within a metre of him and he went through untouched.

force are over committing on attacking rucks and under committing defensively?

also, theyre playing like the old tahs with the give it to folau naiyaravoro mataele

26 (?) phases defended for the tahs.

Odd to have advantage over for foul play

Gamble is immense

Stupid Sexy Kahui surely made some sort of a crossroads deal in his youth.

"Ok, you're going to be injured for pretty much all of your 20's, your prime years for the Chiefs and All Blacks, BUT, after that you will suddenly be indestructible and play forever in Japan then play forever back in Super Rugby for the Western Force".

"Deal".

FFS the guy literally could not string 3 games together in his 20's.

force definitely have woken up and gotten back into the game. ready has been real rocks and diamonds. loving the mataele battle with perese. force have done a great job of slowing tah ruck.

tahs need to make sure they break the habit of coasting after too many easy early points.

 

[A mutterer]

also, how drunk are the commentators on WA grog to be comparing kahui's stache with stupid sexy gamble's stache?

I’m listening on Sports Ears and Sir immediately said “penalty only”. I didn’t get a clear view so no idea if that was the correct decision but Godwin queried it at the next stop.

It looked marginally high, seatbelt at worst, but usually a 10m advance isn’t enough to call advantage over for a high tackle.

I’m thinking DC is redefining roles. Much like Slim’s favourite AJ did in the 80s and RMc a bit later. Could be equally groundbreaking, I like it.
