Reds now desperate… 5m penalty
Stormers need to watch this match. Tahs showing just how to win by good defences, excellent decision making, and doing the simple things right and cutting out the stupid errors. Not necessarily the prettiest rugby, but effective, and easy to do. Stormers could easily play like this.
Aussies have a train to catch. Just got to 100/1 in quick quick time
13 Minutes to go in the match… no way back for the Reds now!
Tahs penalty, relieving one
Seems the only Tahs problems are coming in the line out. Otherwise a pretty all rounded game
Pak 72/7
Genia making schoolboy errors, totally flustered today

If you rattle Genia, the Reds fall to pieces.

Over the last year or so, it seems his game has been steadily going down the dunny
As jy nie paaltjies kry nie, moet jy ten minste die lopietema in toom hou. Proteas doen nie een van die twee nie.
22 Drop in for the Tahs.
10 Minutes left to play

Correct, Folau has scored 5 tries in 2 games because of his positioning and support, but the other players give him the final pass
Even Potgieter made a try, something he would probably not have done while still playing in SA. 1st option is to make contact, second option is to score the try yourself. They play for each other and the team
Will Skelton bleeding for the Tahs cause

The Lions last year broke him, he hasn’t been a shadow of his old self since then
Cooper’s revival lifted him briefly, but it seems like if Cooper is subdued, Genia is quiet as well
Pulling down in the lineout… Reds penalty
Actually a boring game this. Never enjoy one team so dominant over the other much prefer a close contest. Hope the next game is better to watch. Keep turning over to the cricket and we struggling there to get another wicket as well. Need to get another one out soon.
Missed the game, was potgieter that bad they had to replace him early?
Cooper, the only one who has stood out for the Reds tonight

Best game he had in a blue jersey for many a year
137 @ MacroBull:
Jacques Potgieter was actually quite good.. little lazy early on, but then he fired.
Another Reds penalty, Surfer Dude misses touch
@ nortierd:
haha I thought he was our best player near the end of last year…when the bulls made the semi finals.
5 Minutes to go
137 @ MacroBull:
No actually he was good and made a try as well. They had good things to say about him. Looks like he is enjoying his time with the Tahs.
Tahs penalty, very kickable

With the tradition of these two teams, this is a huge win and moment in NSW history.
They are full value for their victory, the Reds are not a bad side, but the way the Tah’s are playing, they are making them look ordinary.
Waratahs 32 / 5 Reds

I also thought so, after you lost Spies, he stepped up.
He was great in your loss to the Stormers. Also played his heart out against the Sharks at Loftus
He was never really Bok material, but you are definitely missing him this year, he is better than Ross and Du Plessis
1 Minute to go
Game has turned really sloppy now.
