Hellloooooooooooooooooo
I would be happy if the Waratahs take this game, even though I do not like their coach one itty bitty. Keeping the Crusaders pegged back would be 1st prize.
I have picked the Crusaders on Superbru though, at home they should take a difficult Waratahs side and beat them well.
Waratahs out on the field already… and the Crusaders running out to join them now.
Game ON!
Saders applying the early pressure
Tahs responding well… and we have a lineout on Halfway
Waratahs penalty, between halfway and the Saders 10m line… shot at goal. It is right in front though
Waratahs 3 / 0 Crusaders
Another Tahs penalty, Dan Carter not rolling away. Penalty is just outside the tahs own 22… good touchfinder
Knock by Peter Betham, after Adam Ashley-Cooper did well…. needless error
Tahs get a tighthead off the Saders scrum… nice!
Tahs not atanding back for these Crusaders, even though history favours the Crusaders by 15 games won to 4 over the Super Rugby years
Ref misses Whitlock not bound to the scrum, but we have an attacking Tahs scrum.
Saders get the Free Kick from the scrum.
Saders opt to scrum from the Free kick, after some attention to Kieran Read
Saders not looking particularly flush at the moment….
…. and the Saders with a skew throw into the lineout, Tahs scrum
Waratahs running well tonight, their backline getting over the advantage line every time!
Waratahs penalty just outside the Saders 22… they go for touch!
Great ball continuity by the Tahs
Wave after wave of Tahs attacks
5m Out
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Cam Crawford!
17 Phases… and the wall broke
Waratahs 10 / 0 Crusaders
Great so far by the Tahs
Good patience shown, no panic, no whiteline fever….
Crusaders penalty against Rob Horne, easy’ish shot at goal from the 10m line
Waratahs 10 / 3 Crusaders
Morgen.
In and out quickly.
Looks good for the Tahs.
25 @ Loosehead:
Left you a message on the TV broadcast question for the Lions game
Saders penalty for holding on… same position as earlier
Missed by Carter… whoop!
Offside call against the Tahs… about halfway, close to touch.. great touchfinder
Saders on attack…. are they slow poison like usual?
Obstruction… Tahs relieving penalty
