Waratahs vs Force - 2011R12

[DPK]

They should keep the socks, goes with the red waratah on the logo.

 

[Tordah]

Luke Burgess always seems to be more concerned about complaining to the ref and waving his arms than delivering quick ruck ball

 

[Richo]

Uneventful first half. Tahs not looking good but outplaying the Force if it weren't for the foolish penalties. Can't seem to string together enough good play to really threaten the line without Mitchell. Dickinson earning the ire of the crows for some pretty weird no-calls.

 

[minorbird]

Wow. Beale misses a relatively easy kick, hitting the upright, and Cross catches the rebound after running through, and scores the try. 13-9 to the Tahs. Maybe a better reflection of how the match has gone?

 

[cyclopath]

Geez, when do you ever see that? Cross in off the rebound from another missed penalty kick!!

 

[ChargerWA]

Western Force need to grow some Rugby smarts, we constantly conceede points to stupid shit, like that try to cross, the throw to the front of the line out and back to Saia Fainga'a to score a try in the first game this year, the cross field kick for a try when the force were all standing around like jersey cows thinking the opposition was going to take a kick for a penalty.

As a fan, that is the most demoralising stuff.

 

[minorbird]

Geez the Tahs are playing some stupid rugby. They should all know by now how strict (some might say pedantic) Dickenson is at the ruck, yet they continue to consistently toe the line.

 

[Richo]

Let's face it, that was the only way Cross was ever gonna score...

 

[minorbird]

Dickenson has missed so much tonight, and Beale being tackled in the air takes the cake. What the fuck is he looking at?

 

[Piglet]

The ref is less inspiring than the game... wonder who is going to tweet tonight?

 

[GC]

Standard of referees in both Australian games has been diabolical. At least they're not favoring 1 team over another. Ruins the game somewhat though.

 

[GC]

Dennis has had a rare bad game. Off.

 

[ChargerWA]

That was the weirdest passage of play this year.

 

[ChargerWA]

Credit to the Tahs, at least they are putting the ball through the hands. Force have been seriously uninspiring with ball in hand.

 

[minorbird]

Why would the Waratahs collapse their own scrum in the Force 22? Dickinson has been terrible tonight.

 

[louie]

can the tahs do something other then kicking the ball away

 

[minorbird]

Not looking good for Nathan Charles. Does a Taf and get his head in the wrong place, out cold. Stretchered off.

 

[ChargerWA]

Kearnsy is sticking the boots into Dickinson. Are commentators immune from being fined for insulting the ref? Digby should get a Fox Sport internship and claim his tweets are Journalism.

Apparently they can also turn it over in breakdowns.

 

[GC]

Kearns surprisingly missed the last line out throw that was not straight by 2m.
