Tahs trying hard, but there ever is only going to be 1 result in this game from here… a Bonus Point win for the Highlanders…

After this game the Highlanders will temporarily move into 6th spot on the Combined Log, on 36 Log Points, same as the Bulls, but the Bulls remain in 5th spot.

…. then we wait for the rest of the results of the weekend…

Tahs just not clinical… knocks and errors… and good Landers defence.
33

grootblousmile on 14 June 2019 at 10:51 am

Landers penalty, deep in the Tahs half…

Tahs Mark, by Newsome.

The game has lost a bit of direction… plenty of endeavour and effort, just a bit scrappy now.

Still no adding to the scores in the 2nd Half.

15 Minutes to go in the match.

Tahs penalty adavantage for a lifting tackle… penalty given, on the Landers 10m line.

Another Tahs penalty advantage, inside the Landers 22, Whitelock offside…

Penalty given… almost in front, 18m out.

Tahs opt to scrum.

Try Mack Mason, Tahs!

Mack Mason involved 3 times in the move, he passed, looped around, received a pass… out to the wing and then back to Mason for the try.

Strange that the Highlanders has remained scoreless so far in the 2nd half, having piled up 42 points in the 1st half.
43

grootblousmile on 14 June 2019 at 11:11 am

Knock by the Landers, 3m out…

Adam Ashley-Cooper clears to touch, out on the Tahs 22.

Another Landers knock, deep inside the Tahs 22.

Less than a minute to go…

So, the Highlanders up to 36 Log Points, into 6th position.

Waratahs stay on 30 Log Points and totally out of the running, season over for them.
