    bdb en met die laaste nog van die kant af wat my betref.
    Daai laaste 10 minute was die Force oor hulle, maar het seker 6 strafskoppe afgestaan

    80 The Force are back the Tahs’ 22m. Holding on again it’s Waugh who forces it. That’s it!
    78 The hosts bash it up. Offside and a quick tap. Holding on, great defensive work from the Tahs and Waugh who forced the turnover
    77 After several scrum resets Halangahu kicks for field position. The Force win a penalty and O’Connor brilliantly sets up the lineout 5m out
    73 Anesi just manages to dot down an attacking grubber from Cummings. Scrum 5m where it’s turned over and punted downfield
    69 Unbelievably the Force are penalised at the subsequent scrum!
    68 O’Connor finds an opening. The forwards pick and drive and power over, or have they? It’s going upstairs…held up

    An unbelievably boring match; just scrappy across the park; Tahs deserve a kick up the backside for that performance and coach is going to have to make one or two selection decisions this week; Barnes, for example is way out of form. It’s after midnight here and I’m outta here. Night all . . .

    95 – Old Griguas, Congrats mate, told you Tahs would pull it back.

    Had to go out so missed most of the game.

    Never mind how it was played a win is a win, that what counts.

    Cheers mate, catch up later.
