2014 Super Rugby: Waratahs v Highlanders (Round 18)

[Darwin]

Mitchell off. That should hopefully improve our lineout...

EDIT: Our kicking game has been shocking so far. We are kicking the ball straight to their back three and the chasing line is not remotely straight. We are just asking for trouble....

 

[austingtir]

The only thing the HL can be happy about so far is how many mistakes the tahs are making otherwise the match would already be over.

 

[Darwin]

Why don't we want to use our backs?

 

[austingtir]

If the Tahs ever get anything right the HL are going to get a cricket score on them. The D is horrible. Its either that or the Tahs are manipulating the defence somehow which I cant see on the TV.

 

[Jaguares]

Good mauling by Landers

 

[austingtir]

The HL are actually scrapping there way into this game.

 

[Jaguares]

HUGE tackle by Hooper

 

[austingtir]

HL would have to be very very happy to go to HT with that score. This game is their for the taking. Need to pick up the intensity big time though.

 

[Darwin]

HT: 11-9. I'm happy that we are behind by only 2 points. The Waratahs could easily have scored another 2-3 tries that half.

We need to start playing some rugby in the second half if we want to stay in the match though. Our midfield defense is a concern too, but if we get the ball and hold onto it for a while we shouldn't have to play too much defense....

 

[Jaguares]

Aaron Smith yells too much, like ALL scrum-halves

 

[Darwin]

That's not the way to start the 2nd half...

 

[austingtir]

Id be subbing sopoanga about now. He's not done alot of good.

 

[lynam1104]

Floua makes good rugby.

 

[Jaguares]

Another try by Superman Folau!

 

[austingtir]

Thats crazy the Tahs were always likely to score from that position but there were atleast 5 HL in a position to make a tackle and nobody was effective.

 

[Jaguares]

Tahs 18 - Landers 9

Thats crazy the Tahs were always likely to score from that position but there were atleast 5 HL in a position to make a tackle and nobody was effective.

It's very difficult to stop Superman Folau in the last five meters

 

[lynam1104]

Hooper really is something special, he seems to really have it all at this point.

 

[Jaguares]

Try by Kepu!

Tahs 23 - Landers 9

 

[Darwin]

Another Tahs try....

Sopoaga off. That should (hopefully) improve our defense somewhat...

 

[Jaguares]

Hooper really is something special, he seems to really have it all at this point.

He's like god, he's everywhere
