The Waratahs hosted the Sharks in Sydney, Australia on Saturday morning at 10:40 SA Time on Saturday. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Waratahs were gifted an undeserved win of 25 / 21 due to inept reffereeing, by Australian Paul Marks and his Australian Assistants, by not awarding the Sharks arguably a penalty try after a deliberate knock by Kurtley Beale, with the tryline clearly open… and by an equally inept TMO, Australian Mathew Goddard, who awarded a try which should never have been awarded. The Sharks were robbed by an Australian officiating team and questions about the absolute need for neutral refereeing will now again run riot.

old Kwas did you read that articles about the 70s All Blacks, posted on Tuesday?
Morning guys,
GO SHARKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ominous signs with the Waratahs breaking through so easily on more than 1 occasion, so far
At this stage you can see the Sharks have a real 10 there
Yeah,I’m just scared we are going to fall asleep in the second half.
It would be great if we had a real local 10 instead of an import Super.
Just back and turn on the tv and see Goode kick that drop.
GOOD ON YOU GOODE.. Go sharks.
Tahs 6 / 3
