Blues
I just realised they didn't call it back. Officials trying to one up the tahs try scoring efforts

Regardless of all the bombed chances the Homeside have looked the much better team
Blues not nearly enough breakdown pressure in defence.
@KiwiMurph home side ruck speed is much quicker

I'd hook Wrampling and get Barnes out there
For how much Dalton gets talked up on this forum, I haven’t even noticed him tonight and he’s in my fantasy team.

His weakness is that he's not a genuine pilferer at the breakdown.
@Tim said in Waratahs v Blues:
Wrampling a bit missing on defence?
Yeah he's added fuck all. Needs more seasoning
@Tim said in Waratahs v Blues:
@Bones The extreme professionalism of Super Rugby broadcasting.
A hilarious night of fuckaboutery all round.
Blues don't want the ball, tahs don't want tries, officials don't want knowledge of rugby and production just hitting random buttons.
@Tim said in Waratahs v Blues:
That was a shithouse half of rugby. Blues taking the game for granted.
They look like they dont want to be there.
@KiwiMurph They were committed on defence, but seemed clueless otherwise.
@Tim said in Waratahs v Blues:
No leadership from 9 and 10.
To be fair, I hope Vern is sticking with last week's gameplan of BB being completely ignored and only used for goal kicking and kick receipt.

Committed on scramble but not enough pressure
Tahs only up by nine at half time and should be out of sight. That's with the Blues having no ball in the half and utterly unconnected in defence in the midfield.
Wrampling is a player for next year. Get Barnes on.
Sotutu has been hitting on defence this year.

Jack Debreczini running the cutter well for the tahs ..really exposing the Blues with late passes outside and in
When he's on he's fucking good eh, but for a lack of consistency he could have been great for Aussie. Real shades of Larkham.
Matenga is not super rugby quality. Haven’t seen a player look that gassed since Taniela Tupou
Tahs showing what can happen when your intent is to keep ball in hand and attack and not default to kicking

He's had the last 20 to 25 so far I guess. Getting done tonight.

Is he son of Sam from Ta$man way?
Rugbypass mid-game stats are probably BS, but they have Papalii on 18 tackles and Darry on 14.
@chimoaus said in Waratahs v Blues:
Game reminds me of NZ rugby in recent years, a complete inability to exit our half.
I feel there's a common denominator in both.
