Waratahs 2012

Interesting comment from White noting that the Brumbies had not conceeded a point in the last 20minutes from their last 9 games, praising their fitness levels. You can see a big difference between the last quater results and how both teams have approached their fitness this year.

However, White did forget about the try the Force scored in the 68th minute...

Regardless, it's still a good effort....

Interesting that newspaper journos and now the TV commentators are suggesting that the Waratahs lack fitness with the evidence for this being their inability to play out 80 minutes. Who would have thought?
.

Well at least be grateful that it is now an identified weakness and they have a clear area they need to improve. the thought of a leaner and fitter Waratahs side in 2013 is actually a worrying concept

It's nice the media have copped on to it but if there's as much of a lag to the Tahs seeing it as a problem, as there was between people like Bruce picking it out and the media, then it might be 2014 by the time they take action.

They obviously read G&GR. Pity that their reading is extremely selective.

Waratah 2012 Thread is now dead. Long live Waratah 2013 thread.

But, but, but Coach Foley said tonight's game was the start of the 2013 season...I'm confused

Does that mean we dont have to hear about how good the Tahs will be in 2013 because 2013 is already here? Fantastic!

Excellent prediction, Swat, especially given that you were virtually a lone voice; (Horne might even have doubted the strength of your prediction). However, you will recall that he did have a self-inflicted period in the wilderness due to his ill-judged tackle on Beale.

Any G&GR twitter accounts affected?

Will be interested to compare those twitter account followers before and after that article.
