Y'all are whinging about the quality but...
That 90m try the Waratahs scored that started with a ridiculous chip kick on the 10m line and included at least one "chuck and hope" pass was good as any you will see on any rugby field
A few Tahs fans have remarked that, after the season we've had, it was the most entertaining game they've seen in ages.
If the ABs scored that, the forum would have gargled to death on its collective spooge.
If the ABs scored that against a second iter nation, no we wouldn't. And both those teams were well below second tier defence
Second tier amateur defence, let alone pro!

It is cute you think that.
I'm reminded of the default NZ Rugby fan when the ABs get outplayed: "You weren't that good - we just played like shit!"

@nta Generally that's true but after the pommelling by the Poms in Japan we at least acknowledged that we were completely and utterly outplayed all over the park. It was prefaced though by the scorn thrown at the selectors by some of their stupid selections for that particular game!!!!!!!

So if both teams are ‘amateur’ and ‘second tier’ doesn’t it still make it a brilliant try?
I thought it was an awesome try.
I went to watch the Rebels v Tahs earlier in the year and the Tahs attack was absolutely abysmal, so the weekends game was a marked improvement.

It's odd that you see a fun end-to-end 90m try and your reaction is to be angry about the standard of defence. What's the point of watching if you can't crack a smile at a play like that?
Yeah the tackling from both teams was questionable, but I enjoyed watching that game. I wouldn't want it every week but as a Tahs fan it was just nice to see them score a few tries.
-
@barbarian I did, and enjoyed it. My comment was that try, find by the ABs against a second tier defended (thinking off the upcoming Samoa game) would not have this forum jizzing everywhere.

@machpants Like TJ vs Namibia?

Haha! When I saw MPs comment I immediately facepalmed thinking of that. Way to read the room...
