Waratahs v Fijian Drua

[Stargazer]

Terrible coathanger. Definitely a card, but which colour will O'Keefe give?

[nzzp]

WTAF - only a penalty? I have no idea what the framework is any more.

[Stargazer]

Huh?

[Duluth]

SR refereeing getting further and further away from the rest of the world

[nzzp]

So I get
Yes, Yes and then an argument about whether it was moderate or high danger.

The 'off the ball' nature escalates for me. Plus the sheer stupidity - Hooper was so close to a card. Dumb, dumb dumb and then lucky.

Did anyone hear the justification?

[Stargazer]

@nzzp Not sure, but I think I heard O'Keefe say something like the arm hit the shoulder, so I assume that means there was no head contact.

[Duluth]

Nice pass Jorgensen

[KiwiMurph]

There's not much to the Drua attack offloads aside.

Perese offers little. Just tucks and runs ineffectively

[Duluth]

Hooper 5 missed tackles in that half. He had a few sloppy games on defence earlier in the season too.

[Stargazer]

Hmm, that Drua player being pushed into touch looked dodgy to me.

[Duluth]

Tahs have attempted 216 tackles, Drua 100. Tahs might fade in the last quarter

[Duluth]

Ha that was good. Mark N with the casual pass and then Waltons pass somehow managed to stick

20-13 Tahs

[KiwiMurph]

@Duluth horrendous midfield clearing kick by Drua and Tahs make them pay.

[Duluth]

No arms

[KiwiMurph]

Professional Tahs win.

[Duluth]

Well the Tahs didn’t fade. Solid win

Jorgensen had some classy touches again

[NTA]

Coathanger should have been yellow.

Late, cynical, high, lazy.

[NTA]

Tahs made something like 220 tackles at 90%

Drua weren't exactly subtle on attack, mind

asked a lot of questions though. Tahs did really well to keep tcakling. It was a real clash of styles, a lot like Canada Tonga in RWC2011 - a fantastic game to watch as a neutral

No idea how that stuck.

Good to see the young blokes back themselves. I think Walton has had a horror injury run and is finally getting to show his wares.

I was a bit worried about everyone talking up Jorgensen, but so far he is proving those concerns invalid.
