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.

Het jy nou al jou goed deur doeane.
I think there is a huge improvement in our play.
214 ek wil weet hoe Pietman sy groot rekenaar deur die doeane gekry het ?
I can’t help wondering if Phil Waugh and the late Mike Schutte are related…
It looked like we were just going through the motions previous games, today we look keen.

217: Phil, Mike en Shrek is glo ‘n drieling.
Pietman 😆 😆 😆
Wonder of Shrek Waugh eers ‘n bokser was… wat die houe gekeer het met sy oogbanke?

Ja, alles deur veilig, dankie, sonder n skrapie, n krat so hoog soos Tafelberg gister hier op grasperk afgelaai….ek et tot ou Fern se speserye teruggebring wat hy destyds vir my Korea toe gestuur het! Kon nie oor my hart kry om dit agter te laat na al die moeite wat hy gedoen het nie.
