Goooooooooooo Rugby!
Think the Tahs should take this, but in effect it is Aussie No 3 vs No 4.
Hello Fellas !
Game ON!
What a win by the blues. Six tries against none. But it was the work at the tackle ball that made the difference. Shows the impact a good coach can/will make.
Penalty in a kicking position for the Waratahs.
Brendan McKibbin for goal… slots it!
Waratahs 3 / 0 Rebels
Or was it five tries? Doesn’t matter it was a comprehensive victory.
4 @ McLook:
Hello,
5 Tries to none… but stiil, you are right.
Strange colour to the sky there in Sydney.
No speed onto the ball by the Rebels. They are trying to run static ball behind the advantage line. Unless they start to hit the advantage line with speed they are going to get a good hiding tonight.
Rebels penaly on the Tahs 22, shot at goal for O’Connor.
Waratahs 3 / 3 Rebels
Gbs@9. Did you notice the sky colour in Auckland? Also a purple turquoise type colour.
13 @ McLook:
Actually I did not.
What’s the story… just rain and stuff?
Looking better by the Rebels. Faster onto the ball of set piece.
Yip just the normal type of evening sky with the rain clouds looming. After 10 years her in NZ I still find it fascinating.
Intercept by Higginbotham… but hunted down
Rebels penalty, on the Tahs 5m line… shot at goal
Lucky intercept from offside position. Good scrambling defence Tahs.
Missed right… bad kick
O’Conner missed penalty. His bottom lip starting to look better. It almost ruined his looks.
Tahs is not getting ball.
Great low tackle on Rebels No2
@ grootblousmile:
How is Israel Folau looking today ? Any good effort from him so far ?
24 @ bluebullion:
Not much from him so far
Best way to stop these big forwards. Tackle on the boot straps.
Another Rebels penalty, this one right in front outside the 22.
Rebels 6 / 3 Waratahs
and James Bieber made up for the last kick by slottin gthis one
