Tahs have started well. Willing defence owning the ad line, followed by some strong carries and they score the first try.

7 - 0

No penalty for the lift?

Ok they got it

Big Joseph could be gone for the Lions series. Could be a broken jaw? Hopefully just knocked out and nothing more serious.

Being stretchered off nevertheless.

@Canes4life That is really disappointing. Was look forward to watching him against the Lions.

Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looks.

How is this guy a professional ref? Hopeless

Never seen a referee be so influenced by players comments

This is a great game of rugby for the neutral

Taniela Tupou predictably loses a game for the Tahs with another useless defensive effort.

@antipodean give it a rest

He was excellent tonight. Ref refused to reward his dominance at set piece.

I give up on the scrum rules the tahs every right to be pissed at Doleman , no reward for a dominant scrum

@Tanifulla

Gleeson loses/drops the ball a lot.

It's always a lottery with Doleman.

Great result for the Blues.

Doleman rewarded his head high effort and the Reds took advantage. He's a liability.

You can see Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's collision here. Went into the tackle and his head collided with his own player's knee. Looked like impact was with his jaw.

If I were Tahs fan I’d be outraged with that. WTF is the TMO doing? Clear forward pass at beginning of final scoring movement.
Scrum Blue. 21 all. Game on. Potentially could end up costing Tahs a play off space.

Forward pass at 4.24 of this:
