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.

Okaaaaaai, we are still in with a chanche here….Go Sharks, fukkit!
SuperBul you are so right.
When the sharks score they say (the Aussies) it took them 15 phases to get over, when they play 15 phases it is great control EEEIshhhhh
Tahs 25 / 21
Game is not over yet.
Pietman we would be ahead if it wasnt for the cheating tv ref, and i dont use the wood cheating lightly.
Deysel already making a huge difference
Deysel is full of powerfull running
Sorry mmeant word, was discussing braai wood with the hub lol
What a pointless kick by the telly tubby.
That kick ahead by Adi, where the hell is the fast guys , like Habana to put pressure on. I know the kick looks k@k now, but with a fast guy chasing they would have played it before the line. Who has enough speed there????
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!
203 – Super, Just said it on SW. Why the heck did Adi kick it away. Damn.
SuperBul
Terloops, lieflike dag hier, see so glad soos n spieel, jy moes daai vodka hier kom drink het….
Eks net lyfseer van gister se oorsese trek die trappe opdra hier by die nuwe huis, moosa jop, ek se jou, maar alles is darem nou in plek.
So, ek is reg vir die volgende kuier 🙂
204 – Loosehead, we are trying to win. Boring might be the only way 😛
Goode,you are killing me..
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick.
Ons Bulle kla nooit oor die ref nie … net as ons verloor. 😉
