Blues v Waratahs

[KiwiMurph]

Not a great night for Telea

[Gunner]

What the fuck BB?

A turnover, and he just bangs it straight into touch…. option taking very poor.

Need the right kick for the situation, very few of his have been tonight.

[Jailbreak7]

I'd feel much more assured if Sullivan was at 10

[Bones]

Shit was that an aggressive tackle from Choat without going flying in out of control or staying back on his heels? I thought there was only the two extremes.

[Steven Harris]

@Bones Choat has been good

[KiwiMurph]

Nock concedes the penalty then misses the tackle.

[Jailbreak7]

@Steven-Harris Hes been a real nuisance for the tahs

[Gunner]

Blues should be dirty on themselves for letting the Tahs in for a third try.

Feels a bit mean being so tough on a team up 48-21, but that score line should be so much better from a Blues perspective.

That didn't look right. If the defending team has to release a tackled player the attacking team shouldn't then be able to drive them forward.

They’ve come in to support their man, they’re not obliged to let him go like the tacklers are

If Sotutu's knees are on the ground (a tackle) he shouldn't be able get up again.

Agreed. He can be driven forward, but if he gets to his feet he must release the ball first.

[KiwiMurph]

Only 7 mins for Gamble

[KiwiMurph]

Lol I love refs who award the try then check it.

[Tim]

Missed the second half, how has Akira Ioane gone?

[Gunner]

@Tim pretty good

Some good stuff. Physical impact.

[Jailbreak7]

Suafoa pinched that

Really like Choat as a player - maybe too small for next level?

Tom Christie is playing some good rugby as well.

Because the player he smashed was high rather than diving. Great effort trying to pretend they're analogous.

Tom Christie offers nothing ball in hand.
