Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

[Moono75]

Skeleton can the man take a tackle. When you weigh 140 you need to do something with it.

His intensity running into contact is way down. Fitness related.

 

[Marcelo]

And finally a try by Tahs. Jesus Christ!

The decision to start Palu

He's a former player. He can't play at this level

 

[Moono75]

Sport comes down to attitude. Highlanders are switched on. Tahs at 65%. They need some firepower to get that engine running at 100%. Are you there Mr Robets?

 

[qwerty51]

That's a harsh call. Phipps was trying to stay off the ground

 

[A mutterer]

holloway with the double!

 

[Marcelo]

Holloway is the man on charge! Good move by Hopper too

 

[TSR]

Jeez - talk about impact from the bench.

Skeleton can the man take a tackle. When you weigh 140 you need to do something with it.

It's frustrating to watch isn't it. His leg drive in contact is so poor, he just gets pulled down like a man who is half his size.

Compare Hendrik Tui; only 107kg but his jackhammer-like leg drive sees him get across the gain line repeatedly.

 

[qwerty51]

Surely he's offside there?

 

[teach]

Bloody hell! Smug levels are dropping rapidly.

 

[A mutterer]

i see gibson's machiavellian strategy - win it from the bench!

what a try!

 

[Chunderstruck]

Hooper makes a break and nearest support player is 20m away. See that too often with aussie rugby, when the ABs make a break there's always 3 blokes lining up outside

 

[qwerty51]

Beale's missed kicks will be the decider..

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Um, how was that last 'tahs try-scorer not offside?

 

[qwerty51]

Um, how was that last 'tahs try-scorer not offside?

Definitely was. Can only assume the ref thought he stole it from the player rather than from the ground?

 

[BaysideBird]

Um, how was that last 'tahs try-scorer not offside?

That was a shocker...

 

[Marcelo]

This is a f*cking super game!

 

[boyo]

Some of the starters need to be on the bench, and vice-versa.

 

[A mutterer]

who got that try?
