I'm not sure how useful it is for scrummaging but the guy seems to have thighs thicker than Tupou's, if that's possible.

Yeah they are both Tight heads. Amone looked good in his first game because he scored 2 tries. Not sure how well he has performed his core duties.

That wasn't the NRC it was the ARC. Going back to 2007.

The Tahs also lost 6 Wallabies, Pietsch, Perese, Swinton, Hanigan, Holloway and HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes). Edit: 7th in Mark N (Nawaqanitawase)

Koro came close, represented Aus XV before playing for Rebels.

I know that

I'll eat my hat if Sua'ali'i is not playing for the Waratahs next year. (figuratively of course)

More than seven years is a long time to wait to see something start to bear fruit. almost twice as long as the average super rugby career. Reds were a better outfit pre-2014.

Haven't seen the game but best to remember that no team wants to telegraph their game play much at this stage. In 2015 NZ were in an uproar for how poorly the Allblacks played against Argentina (even though they still won) but the ABs ended up winning the whole thing regardless. I'm convinced...

the mathematics of it must require a single additional tran tasman clash. Tahs lucked out

I thought the additional rivalries were not supposed to be trans tasman. In any case the Tahs certainly have it against them. At least they don't have to face teh Rebels twice haha

Can someone please explain how the Waratahs end up playing the Crusaders twice. 6 games against NZ sides when all the other Aus sides only play 5. Crusaders even more likely winners with this draw unless the Waratahs can snatch a miracle.

Its pretty impressive though to play 2 tests, one off the bench from memory, and finish 6th on this poll.

It could be classified as a Test if the team is test strength. Its a combination of nations just like the Lions.

I dont disagree but it's weird to have all the captains in positions that generally dont play the last 1/4.
