I don't think Cheika is the right man for the Wallabies right now, but the criticisms of some on here are without foundation. He stands alongside McQueen and Dwyer as one of the most successful international coaches Australia has ever produced. Does he have personal flaws, of course he does...

That was a remarkable win, WTF has that been the last fortnight. Two dis-allowed tries, one fair, the other dubious, the final five minutes defending against the leading team in Super rugby for 30 plus phases with a man down to win, can only be described as heroic. You would like to think that...

So the Brumbies want a fourth 10??

Yes, I like Heaven as a player but his lineout throwing, which in my recollection is normally okay, was diabolical. Apart from missing Jorgensen, I really like the backline this week. JAS to full back is a great replacement for Jorgo (although without some of the rugby smarts), Reilly and...

Tahs not reacting to the Canes offloads, need to put the man on the ground and prevent the offload. Lineout has been poor, two poor throws and the last one seemed fine, just went straight between Amaotesiro's hands

Tatalaina had one starting game when Gleeson was coming back from injury and he was excelent. Gleeson has been consistently very good this year, imo the best he has ever been. I would rate him, Bell and Jorgo as the three form players for the Tahs this year. I think Talataina is unlucky not to...

Not a Wallaby

I don't really share the idea that the Tahs are massively disadvantaged from not having played together, they are simply the team that ccame last in 2024, and early season form shows them to have improved, but still have a long way to go. They put it to the Reds for 20 minutes last night, then...

I don't think any (well very few anyway) Tahs fans are getting too carried away, however after last year's debacle three from three to start the season is a nice change. Force have had a good start, but you can't blame the ref with that scoreline.

That team probably as good as it could be, although Reilly probably unlucky to miss a starting spot. After watching the trials I thought Ropati might have been a good shout to join O'Donnell in the centres with both Foketi and JAS out. Amatosero needs some time to have a good hard think on his...

Agree with much of the above. The backs really aren't looking like any sort of attacking threat, Edmed is solid but doesn't look like creating anything, and the centres run hard and tackle well but don't ever really threaten. The closest thing to an attacking threat on the weekend was O'Donell...

Three players for the Tahs have really started this season well, Bell, Gleeson and Jorgensen. Most others have been good in patches, dissappointing in other. If the Tahs are going to go top six, the big team issues are breakdown and handling. Positionally, the bench front row and lock are...

Good to get a win but it was pretty uninspiring. We were really lazy at the breakdown, a lot of kicking that didn't really seem to have a purpose to it, and periods of just not thinking. I've seen some criticism of Gleeson here, but I thought he was one our our best. Bell was an absolute...

Exactly the side you would expect, and I would suggest the best we can field right now. Possibly a couple of surprises on the bench, with Lambert preferred over Kailea, Grant over Wison and Bowen over Creighton, but I wouldn't say they were undeserved. The Tahs really need to get this done if...

An objective look at this Tahs side would suggest they have a strong starting front row, but it weakens at THP when TT goes off, a below par second row and a pretty good backrow. In the backs I would suggest halves and centres are sound but no more, back three (assuming JAS is 15) are very strong.
