Some good old handbags in this one.

Duluth

Stewart started it but Gardner was wrong, that wasn’t a tackle attempt

NTA

Amatosero needs to go. Soft

Duluth

What the fuck was that from Tupou?? That should be a straight red. Tripping in that style is so dangerous

Duluth

Donaldson has some great touches but his error rate is so high

Duluth

Didn’t expect Beale to get that close

Extra time coming up

booboo

Nice try Kurtley ... but out of range

ARHS

Henry Robertson looks useful

NTA

This is - in no way - "super" point

sparky

The Force are making a habit of this.

booboo

Too far for the attempt I reckon

booboo

Falls into chaos

booboo

Tahs have a chance here

booboo

Bad guys get a shot at pen

booboo

Bad guys score at the last

booboo

On field no try ... but surely it was

African Monkey

Try given!

booboo

But given the try

NTA

Wow. I thought that was a knock on

KiwiMurph

Enjoyable watch

Tahs Blues and Moana can all make playoffs

Mr Fish

Thought it was absolutely a try - always in contact with the ball. Lucky given it was ruled no try on the field, but that's only because the referees were nowhere near the action.

Bovidae

Harford wanted to be the hero but fluffed his lines.

Mr Fish

Means next week's game will likely be a straight shoot-out between the Blues and Tahs for a knockout match against the Chiefs in Hamilton (unless Moana somehow get up agains the Hurricanes).

@Tim said in Force v Waratahs:

@booboo What happened?

Winger dives for the corner but loses connection. TMO rules he remains in possession/connection. Reckon he lost connection

I admit my hatred of Waratahs... so am not unbiased

But he lost possession

@Bovidae based on Beale’s long range attempt previously which had the distance i really dont know why he did’nt have another crack ..
Incredible finish from Lancaster at the death

NTA

@Mr-Fish Blues are in the finals already then.

That Tahs side will get puuuuuuumped in Auckland

sparky

Blues -Waratahs next week is effectively a knock out game.

@Mr-Fish tell you what i reckon the Highlanders are gonna throw everything at the Chiefs next week after the disappointment of friday night besides i dont think they will want the wooden spoon

Could definitely see the Chiefs slipping up in Dunedin, but suspect they'll be too strong knowing what they have to play for.

Imagine a largely similar team will be rolled out by McMillan with a few guys subbed off early if the result is looking likely.
