Oh you WJ!! Haha. Though there are some inaccuracies in your post, Blue is my favourite colour and I accept fresh & artificial flowers. Chris Hickey, who was he again?
But thank you for attempting to get the thread name changed, it's like you're a man of the people since you ran that match ball out.
And for that #1 Tah, you get an extra high five when I see you
Saturday's pre-match beers and feed at The Clock, I have some good news and some bad news.
Bad news: there's been major water damage from the roof with all the recent rain and the first floor's not available, including the area previously allocated to the Sydney G&GR Brigade.
Good news: they've managed to squeeze us onto two trestle tables in the ground floor bar. Which answers Bh's concern for a nearby TV to keep an eye on the Canes/Ponies match from 5:00pm.
But wait, there's more: the whisky bar's open on Saturday night, we can either celebrate or drown our sorrows post-match.

Kurtley Beale watching on from the sidelines at Waratahs training. He appears to be out for the Highlanders semi-final. Horne is training.

That's a big loss particularly as it would seem that Carraro has only been training in a limited capacity as well.

That's a pretty solid line up for the Tahs and just about the best they could put on the paddock. Should be a great contest.

The Tahs have to smash their pack, particularly the tight five where I think we've got a substantial advantage.
The loss of Pryor is also substantial given the form he's been in. I'm surprised Gareth Evans isn't starting.

Yep, agree on having to smash the Highlanders pack. They basically have to do to the Clan what they did to the Canes earlier in the year -- really step up the physical confrontation, harass and deny the space in the mid field and be very accurate at the breakdown and with the boot. Any sniff of broken field running opportunity and those Highlanders outside backs will tear you a new one.
