Round 6: Waratahs v Crusaders - Sunday 2 April 2017 4pm

fucking ay!

Nayaravoro unstoppable (Sir Arthur will be pleased that PK referred to him as a "120kg" winger ), CruSadists 26-22.

LOL. What was the Crusaders winger hoping to do there? Just let him pass until you're side on and then aim for his knees. Cut him over if you can, but you'll have a better chance knocking a foot into touch, which is just as good.

Mack Mason gaining in confidence and showing some deft skills...

Izzy pushing the last defender over.. but try for big T

Whitelock decides to settle things down a bit by taking the three, CruSadists 29-22 & 20ish left. Phipps on for Gordon who I thought kicked away waaaaay too much ball...........

 

[KOB1987]

The advantage rule shits me. I'm not picking on this incident and it works both ways, but the Saders march it up 20m from the minor infringement and then take a 50/50 which backfired and the ref says no advantage and gifts them 3 points

Kearns is disgraceful (in case anyone is not in the know)

 

[TSR]

Gee - Waratahs are right in this. Causing some mistakes with their energy in defence even if they are losing their structure a bit. Just need more control in attack.

Sean?? Is that you?

 

[Quick Hands]

Can't fault the effort from the Waratahs in either attack or defence. We're falling short because the other team are executing their basic skills at higher speed and intensity.

Are they? Maybe they were earlier, and they may yet finish better - but I reckon the Saders are struggling a bit with the Tahs energy.

Todd off for a HIA, had one of his teammates land on his head a coupla tackles ago - forced the turnover, tho.

Rolleston Prisonbreak! Finished off by Bryn Hall, CruSadists 34-22 with a tough kick to come.

 

[RedsHappy]

Surely Tahs defence coach must produce a dignified resignation after this and recent matches.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Penalty in front, Whitelock turns down the three so must really want that BP try. Pretty sure they just got it, ref asking TMO to give him a reason not to award it. Yep, clearly grounded. CruSadists 41-22 & a BP win going into their bye week at six-from-six.

Kearns bearing up rather well, all things considered..........

Saders appear to be finishing over the top of us.

I'd like to think that the experiment begun by Cheika, that players take different defensive positions at lineouts than they do at any other phase of play will finally be jettisoned.

Yeah, sorry. Might have jinxed you.

 

[rugbysmartarse]

Can't believe I changed pants for this

 

[Quick Hands]

Overall, I'm not unhappy with our effort and commitment.

We seem to have returned to pre-Cheika normality, so I have a high threshold of pain.
