The "other" round one SR games
-
@Stargazer i don't disagree. But it's the reds so fuck them
Love how the aussie commentators are ignoring that the aussie super season started last night
-
Impartial? You fluffybunnies are taking the piss
-
Yea well done you fuckheads
Very very poor last quarter from the Sharks, they offered nothing
-
-
Fucking Reds fans. My Facebook feed is already full of ref whinges. You got the rub and the win, jesus fuck!
-
Terrible game.
-
Horrible game.
Sharks won't win many this year quite clearly.
I still can't get over how bad that fullback is. He was supposed to be the new wonderkind but he can't even catch a high ball. Cowardly. And then Frenchie who has no temperament and threw away the Heineken Cup many years ago comes on and does just as badly.

Since when did you care about the sister-lovers?
Sister-slammers
And I don't care whether they win or lose. But as @mariner4life has pointed out: it determines what they're going to whine about.

It's hard to believe but the half time score between the Waratahs and
Jonno Lancethe Western Force is 9 - 13.If I remember it correctly, the Force destroyed the Rebels in preseason but that was preseason. And the Rebels. You expect more from the Tahs. They weren't convincing at all in the first half (from what I've seen).

@Stargazer said in The "other" round one SR games:
Force player penalised for high tackle (arm around neck) but no card. Correct decision IMO; ref explicitly saying that the tackled player was falling into the tackle. In the NH, that probably would have been a card.
Didn't Khunt get a yellow for a similar incident last night?

I watched this for 20 minutes, a few good moments, some very nice scrummaging, and a lot of dross. Skelton looks scary.
Commentators stupid. One of them claimed that at the end of a maul the opposing player holding the player and ball on the ground was obligated to release him and ball. The other shut up and changed the subject, lol.
http://www.rugbyrefs.com/showthread.php?13854-Clarification-2-of-2011-Ball-Carrier-in-a-maul-goes-to-groundI noted down a run of play for 5 minutes from about the 60 minute mark, mistake after mistake, just total shit play, cock up after cock up:
-Force penalty, bad kick out only advances them 15m.
-Force lose lineout
-H-Petty drops up and under on his 22. Nothing but shirt, haha
-Waratahs immediately knock on from the scrum
-Play down the other end, Tahs bad clearning kick.
-Force lose messy scramble at lineout. -

Yeah it wasn't a great spectacle, weather certainly played its part though. Ugly from the Waratahs but they shouldn't be too happy grinding out a win against a Force side who made things difficult for them.
