    I've got a sinking feeling about this game now. Too many mistakes by the Clan and Tahs look good.

    They need to get Lima on. Banks is no threat to run, Tahs arent committing to the breakdown so need some inside running to be kept in check.

    Tahs have played well.

    Good points - especially about numbers at the breakdown. They've been playing wider and that might not be helping them.

    Wouldnt be too harsh on Ben Smith there - that Taqele is generally pretty fucking useless but trying to stop him in that sort of position is very difficult.

    @Rapido The term they use "not clear and obvious" is a cop-out if the footage shows the exact opposite.

    Put it this way, if the LIons had been awarded that try against the ABs we'd be bitching and moaning. 😆

    An enjoyable game and O'Keefe has been good.

    Pretty good half of footy. Tahs started slow as they usually do but have built into the game well. Ben Smith has made all the play for the Landers, great to see him running well.

    Aaron Smith has made some mistakes but gee his pass is so superior to any other HB in the world, gives the receiver that extra yard of space. He's still my preferred HB to start, with TJP providing big impetus off the bench.

    Really bad miss from Dixon for the Folau try, tried to take him high for some reason and was left grapsing at air.

    Should be a great 2nd 40.

    That tackle didn't go beyond the horizontal.

    Does he purposely make himself look like a fucktard? I'm starting to think so.

    I would be happy with penalty only there.

    Why is Marshall employed as a commentator, because Phil Kearns is? Is it a SANZAAR quota issue? Every country needs an ignorant arsehole who won't shut up?

    He didn't land in a dangerous position as he was able to take some of the impact with his arms, but technically he went past the horizontal so the ref was left with no choice. I don't have a lot of sympathy - lifting players like that is stupid play.

    I think it did, but whether it did or not is irrelevant. You can't pick a guy up and drop him so he lands on his shoulder/head.

    Feki fucking toa, since when can you put in deft chips like that? Pin point accuracy exploiting the big man on the wing - smart play.
