Waratahs v Highlanders R1

[Bones]

Bah. That was meek as. Yuck

[Canes4life]

Fuck. Unlucky Landers.

[KiwiMurph]

Nice work Tahs. Good for the comp

[NTA]

Interesting to note that both sides were making fairly easy yards through the middle

[Bones]

That would've been hilarious

Nothing unlucky. Just the usual dumb decisions that have plagued us over the last 4-5 years

Would've been nice to see the Highlanders win, but good try to finish the game.

Dude. We played well. Was a hard fiest round game. That is a quality Tahs side and we fought well.

[Mattasaurus]

Tahs are unbeatable...

Landers should have had it in the bad.. Fakatava cost us a lot ...

[Bones]

Yeah was a game of who would get the final dumb in. More lucky for the tahs than unlucky for us

[akan004]

Gilbert is not SR quality, yet they keep on picking him.

Lol. Fucking refs.

More hilarious: conversion straight into the crossbar and knocks the kicker out

[SouthernMann]

Entertaining game and a lot for us to like

[Tim]

Gardner had to be the centre of attention at the end ...

Tahs played like a bunch of guys with no coach and no preseason who met in the car park

[Canes4life]

Despite the Canes and Landers losing. Pretty good footy to kick off the comp.

Such an appalling referee.

I get that and if it was fresh set of players and they were genuinely trying to implement a new game plan, I’d cop it. But it’s the same mistakes, by the same players, at the same moments. Its been an Otago issues, it’s been a Highlanders issue. I just don’t see that change in mindset or composure so the same mistakes will keep on happening

A fit squad, some better decisions by key personnel and the Clan are in the final eight.

Can't afford to keep carrying Fakatava's questionable decision making.

[KiwiMurph]

Two good contests to start Super Rugby

Signs of an improved Tahs

Good shit
