Tahds unchanged from last week
Highlanders
Match thread
Waratahs
Anyone else worried about this game? Waratahs looked OK last week and might be coming right. Potential banana skin I think.
Tahs will be dangerous on attack with both Folau and Foley in form and they are in a must win spot. However their defence has been seriously leaky all season long so can't see that changing tonight.
Terrible forward pass missed in the phase beforehand?
But, flat out terrible effort by Elliot there. Holy fuck that was weak
Aaron Smith should stop trying to make those fancy behind-his-back passes. He did the same in one of the previous games and that one also went forward.

That was a poor TMO decision.
What is the point of TMOs.
Wasted several minutes of our lives for a plain wrong decision. Wasn't even a hard one.
I'd be perfectly ok with the ref missing that in real time, and we just got in with it.
In looking whether Buckman was offside, which part of Luke Whitelock's body should they have looked at? Whitelock's left arm was stretched forward, so arguably his hand was in front of Buckman's foot. In that case, the TMO's decison was correct. But if they can only look at Whitelock's feet, there's room for doubt. There was no good camera angle though.

ball is the offside line, isn't it?
Highlander's have been looking a bit out of ideas - bombs towards Folau are a pretty low percentage play, but they don't have much else other than passing it to B Smith and making meters
