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.

Jannie Dup,you stupid tit,please leave the union,you are a liability..
Fark, “The Mental Doctor” cops a yellow for a trip….. what a doos he’s turned out to be!

NOW THE BLOODY DUP BRAIN EXPLOSION AGAIN. PLEASE CAN SOME OTHER FRANCHISE THAT THE DUP BROTHERS OFF OUR HANDS. OFF WITH A YELLOW CARD.
How blerrie dof can a player be? Send the rubbish home.

Where is the Michaelhouse Old Boy Patric Cilliers?
62 – GBS. Both Dup brothers are a yellow waiting to happen all the time.
TIME THEY BOTHED LEFT THE SHARKS. PLEASE CAN ANYONE TAKE THEM FOR FREE. WE don’t want them anymore. They cost us far, far, far too many penalties in everygame.
Helloooooooooo Pietman how lovely to see you. My signal very bad so will take ages to answer.
Another yellow card.
Fok, Goode gets a yellow
Ozzie commentators are hurting my ears, think I will a light white wine to ease the pain…..and the nerves 🙂
Another yellow, eish!
Agreed Puma,we are not doing ourselves any favours with these brain farts but we are not getting the rub of the green.. Andy Bad gets second yellow card in 2 weeks,amazing.. For fark sakes,this is killing me..
Hello Piet, never saw you up there.
OH BUGGER, now we playing with 13 men. GOODE GETS ANOTHER YELLOW AGAIN THIS WEEK. Damn why can Plum not play the younster LAMBIE HE IS PURE CLASS.
That will be us over and done with for sure.

What did Goodie do, had to leave room quickly.
Loose head,nothing wrong with Pat,just not been selected..

Oi, oi, oi!
71@ Pieta – Hello, ek’t maar oorgeslaan Afrikaanse kommentaar toe, want die Ozzmob kommentators is fattup!
Winston, I really like Cilliers, is he on tour.
John Smit looks slimmer
74 – Super, something not right mate, This reffing system is a whole load of rubbish. Why must we have Oz ref in Oz and a Kiwi ref us in Durbs against a kiwi side and again in NZ????????????? WRONG. It has to chance back to the best refs but it has to be neutral.
This rugby is making me ill..

No Loosehead,as far as I know he is not,a mate of mine from work knows him and as far as I know he was not selected to go on tour. I rate him as well,pity he got that awful knee injury a few years ago.
