Waratahs 16 / 13 Rebels
Most the times trying to run it from your line is just daft. Tahs getting the intercept try there, with a sloppy pass from the Rebels.
How quickly did possession change there… 3 times in less than 25 seconds?
Rebels penalty, just inside the Tahs half
Rebels lineout, as a result, on the Tahs 22
Come on Rebels!
Lemoenetyd
Okay gonna grab another cup of coffee.
2 nd Half ON!
Rebels penalty on Halfway
Just does not manage to kick it out
Tahs penalty at the scrum, easy enough shot at goal…. OK not that easy.
Barnes going for goal from about the 10m line, but it’s relatively straight.
Over.
Waratahs 19 / 13 Rebels
This time a Tahs penalty inside their own 22
Rebels have come back strongly a number of times in the last 20 min…. as happened last weekend against the Stormers, so a 6-point difference is quite doable.
Sidey bleeding for the Rebels cause
44 @ grootblousmile:
So can’t watch this game. In a teleconference. Will follow the rest of the game here. So keep the updates coming.
Kepu down injured…. and a fortunate knock by the Tahs.
Rebels breathe a bit…
About 28 minutes to go in the match….
Rebels scrum, between halfway and the Tahs 10m line
Berrick Barnes replaced, looks a little worse for wear….
He’s been good tonight
Tahs penalty, 1m outside their 22.
Great defence by the Rebels though
Michael Hooper culpably offside, Rebels penalty, midfield, inside the Tahs half.
Shot at goal it will be
Waratahs 19 / 16 Rebels
Only 3 points in it now…..
…. and we’re just about IN the last 20 minutes…. can the Rebels do it?
Tahs have attacked relentlessly though, running almost everything at the Rebels
Phipps kicks directly out, scrum all the way back inside Rebels territory
Rebels penalty inside their own half…. a metre closer than their 10m line
Rebels penalty…. and they could very easily draw level here….
Waratahs 19 / 19 Rebels
All Locked up, 15 minutes to go
@ grootblousmile:
