|
Epi: Anyone watch the Chiefs game? Now that was a ball tearer. |
|
8:27

Gagger: Good call epi – they lost their depth after 20 and started going sideways. Stormers are lining across the park. Need to get more pick n go working, which has made yards |
|
8:28
|
Gagger: Yeah – I had written the Chiefs off! |
|
8:32
|
[Comment From cyclopath] If the Tahs can get some of the Chiefs wake-up pills, they’ll be OK. |
|
8:33
|
Gagger: The Gahu is on fire from a tactical kicking perspective. Best in Oz so far this weekend? |

|
8:34

|
8:37
|
Gagger: Tahs recycling but not going fwd. Carter gets isolated |
|
8:38
|
[Comment From cyclopath] The penalties called on the Stormers by Laurence will no doubt be a source of debate, but he has been very clear on what he wants. You can’t say he doesn’t warn them. |
|
8:38
|
Epi: they do try and slow it down to their level… |
|
8:38

|
Gagger: Godd tahs scrum. Move to Lakky on side line who drills it down to Stormers 22 |
|
8:44
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Stormers loosie just folded like a deck of cards again – Laurence has given up penalising him now. |
|
8:44
|
Gagger: Tahs spoil it |
|
8:45
|
Gagger: SHIT!! Tahs go wide. TPN finds himself on the wing, draws 3 men, magic pill to LT who then tries to pop to Lakkys ankles, just cant hold on over line |
|
8:45
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Now for a tighthead boys! |
|
8:46
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Farkin’ loosie straight down again!!! Sort him out. |

|
8:48
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Finally he pings him! |
|
8:48
|
Gagger: Stormers give away another scrum penalty. Their tight head is a joke |
|
8:48
|
Gagger: Australia is a scrummaging super power |
|
8:49
|
Gagger: The gahu pushes right. Bad miss. That’s 3 missed penalty shots. |
|
8:49
|
Gagger: We cant play 10 man rugby like this!! |
|
8:49
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Gagger, it was their loosie I think. |

[Comment From cyclopath] It’s their loosie!!! Jaco van der hinger! |
|
8:53
|
Epi: The stormers really can slow the game down to a crawl. As can all the saffer teams, And they wonder why nobody likes them. |
|
8:53
|
Gagger: Stormers back line making yards at will. They go dep into Tahs 22, Waugh dives on kick to save try |
|
8:53

|
8:58
|
Gagger: Beale on at 15 for SNK |
|
8:58
|
Epi: Good move this. |
|
8:59
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Yeah, well I am a back, so fair enough to assume I had no idea about the dark arts!! |
|
8:59

9:01
|
Gagger: Stormers run it back, tahs turn it over but then knock it on. FFS |
|
9:01
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Degenerate implies it began at a high level. 1 try does not a masterpiece make! |
|
9:02
|
Gagger: Waugh pinged for breaking early. Stormers ‘going for poles’ |
|

|
9:15
|
Gagger: Good clear from Beale down to half way |
|
9:16
|
Gagger: What are they doing at training? |
|
9:16
|
Epi: cyclo – agree 100%. Its the absolute best way to give the ball back to the opp. |
|
9:16
|
[Comment From mark_s] Looks Like I made the right call not to go to this one |
|
9:17
|
Gagger: Great hit by Mowen(?) in mid field. Knock on by Stormers. |

9:17
|
Gagger: Tahs have only been in stormers 22 for 17 s |

[Comment From cyclopath] Come on Gahu, that was for my margin!!! |
|
9:20
|
[Comment From mark_s] why dont they change the kicker |
|
9:20
|
Epi: OMG. Speechless. |
|
9:20
|
Gagger: UNBEFUCKINGLIEVABLE |
|
9:21
|
[Comment From cyclopath] That was the fark-up of the CENTURY!!! You idiot!!! |
|
9:22
|
Gagger: Waugh intercepts. Offlaods to Kepu who has line open and passes it to Fitzpatrick with only 3m to go, and Fitzpatrcik spills it!! |
|
9:22
|
Epi: What a couple of Chumps. |
|
9:22
|

|
Gagger: on 22! |
|
9:25
|
Gagger: They turn it over. Beale clears. ITS A TAHS WIN |
|
9:25
|
Gagger: How hard did the Tahs try to bugger that? |
|
9:26
|
Epi: desparately… |
|
9:28
|
Gagger: Well, really the Tahs should have taken that pretty easily, Gahu couldn’t hit a barn door (1 from 5?) and they stuffed a try in the 78th minute. It’s 4 points though and the Tahs march on. Next stop bulls at home.
I wonder it they’ll start doing some back training now? |
|
9:29
|
Gagger: Thanks guys for chipping in. |
|
9:30
|
[Comment From cyclopath] The thing is, the backs looked confident and positive for 10-15 minutes, then seemed to decide “well, that’s it, no more ideas, just go back to hitting it up, dud passes and aimless kicks” |
|
9:30
|
Gagger: Apparently that was written on their whiteboard |
|
9:30
|
Gagger: Tahs MoM? |
|
9:32
|
[Comment From cyclopath] Has to be Turner, Besides 2 tries, defended well I thought. Forwards good in the loose, scrum very good. Lend us the Chiefs backs, we’ll score 50!! |
|
9:32
|
Gagger: Agree with you there Cyclo. Lakky it is. Thought Waugh had a great game as well. Good turnovers and intercept |
|
9:33
|
Gagger: Right. Gotta go fellas – feel free to leave comments below the post though. Cheers |

MoM? Turner… but i also give the game to Waugh… stopped three tries (ankle tapped the first, punched through the second causing a knockon, dove under the third).
that last 70 minutes (re: all) was a complete clusterfuck of a game. Ironic that last week’s golden boy (Hal) failed and last weeks loser (Beale) pulled through for the win (followed poetically by another Hal fail).
