Huge game for the Tahs to have their first home game of the season on the back of an excellent performance against the Crusaders. Fans will be excited and the attendance should be pretty good. A strong performance is crucial to show some consistency and instill some belief in the fanbase. It...

Onto round two and we're now into absolutely abysmal timeslots. Hopefully we see the return of Slipper and Fa'amausili to shore up our bench front row. Faessler might be lucky to retain his place after some wobbles in the lineout but could be saved by acknowledgement that the structure of our...

The Rugby World Cup starts in 81 days! Initial test squads for the year are starting to be announced and we've got proper test matches commencing next month. It's time to move on from the qualifying thread to the real deal. It's also time for @Dismal Pillock Pillock to schedule in the games...

Due to popular demand here is the thread to talk about Colts Rugby in NSW in 2023.

A double header at the SFS with the Wallaroos playing Fiji at 5pm and the Tahs taking on the Drua at 7:30pm. Big match for the Tahs seeking win their fourth game on the trot and get closer to locking in 6th spot on the ladder. Hopefully Seu and Hanigan are both available. I haven't heard an...

Big game for both sides. The Rebels just about have to win to keep their finals hopes alive. The Tahs are by no means guaranteed a finals spot and need to try and stay ahead of the pack fighting for the 6th - 8th spots. They will also be keen for revenge on their loss earlier in the season...

An absolute must win game for the Waratahs to keep pace with the top 8. Waratahs social media have at least come up with a cracker to start the week.

Big game for both sides. The Tahs need the win to keep pace with the teams at the top and the Rebels will be desperate to secure their first win of the season after a strong comeback against the Hurricanes after getting blown out early. The Tahs should have a few more players available for this...

It's only week two but this already shapes up as a must win for the Tahs. The Drua staged a big comeback to beat Moana in round 1 and will be confident that they can cause an upset. The Tahs just have to be clinical here and not make as many mistakes as they did in round 1. They also have to...

The big questions this week are: Who will play fullback? Will Reece Hodge slot straight in or will we see JOC (James O'Connor) or someone else picked in the 15 jersey? Will Sean McMahon play and if so, will he start or come off the bench? It would be surprising not to see a couple of fresh faces given a crack...

I thought it was worthwhile having a thread to discuss this as I think it is obviously topical following the red card on the weekend (and red cards in the Six Nations) and arguably the number one issue rugby is grappling with while trying to improve safety. We have: 1. Keeping the jackal in...

A huge game for both teams. The Brumbies need to get back in the winners circle and confirm their position at the top of the table and likely host of the final. The Waratahs need to keep winning to stay in the hunt for the finals after the Reds won last weekend. Always a tough ask to travel to...

A must win game for the Tahs who could put themselves within a win of the playoffs. Likewise though, the Force are coming off a bye, don't have the same issue the first time around where it was their first game and will know that sides have faltered after a big performance this season. They'll...

With four weeks left, the competition is now wide open. The current points table is: Brumbies 18 Rebels 14 Waratahs 11 Reds 11 Force 2 Remaining matches are: Brumbies - bye, Waratahs (H), Force (H), Reds (A) Rebels - Reds (A), bye, Waratahs (H), Force (H) Waratahs - Force (A), Brumbies...

The Tahs have to win this one to keep their season alive. If they play like they did against the Brumbies, the home ground advantage should get them home. If they play like they did against the Rebels, they'll lose by 30. Hopefully the week off has refreshed them and they can have a real crack...

The Waratahs will have to improve substantially from their first two outings to keep it competitive against the Brumbies. Like others I expect Karmichael Hunt to come into the starting side and possibly Dempsey. Will Harris has been solid without doing anything spectacular. He needs to find...
