Didn't see the MP try

7-0 MP after 7mins

Sloppy rugby by the Tahs so far. Some poor decisions by Jake Gordon.

Samu scores and then it’s disallowed. Now Jorgensen goes off with an HIA. Real good start for my Fantasy picks.

Matavao and Pellegrini means Moana have a good halves combo

Whereas the Waratahs combo is hopeless. They are such a handbrake on their attack.

Gordon has Jorgensen unmarked outside him so decides to kick. He’s the Aussie Beaudy Barrett, loves kicking the ball away.

The decision making of the Tahs is d grade. Some real average players in this team.

The forwards aren’t good enough to shift it under pressure so the ball keeps dying in the midfield. So much space outwide but they are not getting it to their wingers.

Tahs finally score. What a painful side they are to watch. That Walton guy is such a hungus at centre.

When you’ve got by far your best player sitting on the wing maybe fucking learn to use him. You can put your house on the fact the Tahs won’t be in the top 6 this year.

Shit players and poorly coached.

Ffs, players now heading off the field because of lightning. Probably for the better, was a cripple fight. Two teams worthy of being in the bottom half of the table.

Yeah whilst Tahs are winning it didnt feel like it. Painful 2nd half

Painful full game for me.

Atrocious tactical decisions by Moana Pacific. Did not seem interested in the win and gifted Waratahs a bonus point to top it off. Bewildering!

I didn't stay up for this, and guessing from comments I don't need to bother watching replay?

It was an odd sort of game

Moana played well in the first half - there was a fair bit of ball movement. Tahs coughed up good attacking ball often.

The rain came in the second half and it became stop start - then with 11 minutes left they had to leave the field for 30 minutes with lightning in the area
