Some comments from The Roar:
Working Class Rugger
Both teams turned up to play open and expansive Rugby and that’s what we got. I think I counted just 3 scrums in the 2nd half. It hummed along at a great pace all the way through. Something of note. This is the 2nd game in the last 2 or 3 weeks I’ve watched (the other being the Wallabies/Super trial) that didn’t feature a TMO. Both games as above flowed and the refs made quick and decisive decisions. Food for thought there. Not necessarily the elimination of the TMO but a move away from their active involvement in the game and more toward use for citing purposes.
Anyway. looking forward to seeing more details of this WS team. If it’s done right I’ll be keen to go out to games.

The most entertaining game I watched this year. Defense was not as good but the tries were spectacular. WSR has the recipe to get crowds to games as almost 15,000 turned up again

From the pre game to game to half time show, everything was entertaining. The crowd was happy and enthusiastic, applauded both teams scores, kids were having a ball. Game itself was a cracker played with spirit in the right spirit. I was actually a tad disappointed when Prior went the penalty kick at 75min.
This game showed what is possible next year. Bring it on. Sayonara Superseded Rugby.

Say what you want about WSR but that was probably the most entertaining game of rugby I’ve watched all year. Not because of the high scoring but teams prepared to throw the ball around and not kick it away at every opportunity.

Good handling by both sides this game. Either side winning is a good result.
