It's his first season though, I wouldn't rule out him being told to be more selfish and go for the goal being all that he needs. I'd like to know if he's been told that or not and if he's working on it, or being encouraged to keep playing as he's playing.

Yup. He does a lot of work in support of other players, but in the Waratahs he's demonstrated that he's not a finisher. Numerous times the ball has gone out to him when we need a finisher and he plays a support-player role instead. He's a great person to have on the field, but I'm not so sure...

Get that kid a google calendar, organise his arrival around the wallabies schedule.

Horton doesn't even seem to be in the squad for this weekend's matches. Is he on the outer due to his lineout throwing, or is he injured? He's been with the Tahs long enough I'd have thought he'd be able to fix the lineout throwing by now. I'd have assumed it was a trainable skill. Yet he's...

Brilliant news!

Waratahs members apparently had two emails go out yesterday. One person received them at 12:10 and 1:30. I say apparently because no matter how deeply I dive in to my spam filters, there's no sign what so ever in my email. Thankfully someone on Twitter forwarded their email to me, so I've now...

Wasn't Super Rugby members meant to be able to access Wallabies tickets from midday? I haven't seen any emails about it. Tried my Tahs membership number and stuff like that, won't let me through. Can't figure out how to access tickets yet. Have I missed something? Or is there no info yet?

My brother got his whole family in to the SCG for a Waratahs match for less than $50 (GA seating purchased the morning of the match). I sat with them and it felt not all that different from the horrible seating that turned me off attending rugby in person for over a decade. I can spend $249 for...

I know it's an April Fools joke, but I SO want that jersey. I NEED that jersey. They'd better bloody make it a thing I can buy!

The SuperW finals will now be held on the Saturday of the Super Round, at AAMI Park (same venue), prior to the Drua v Blues & Reds v Hurricanes matches...

Does anyone know why Will Harrison isn't in this week's squad?

I believe the final for Japan's League One Rugby comp is the weekend after the Super Rugby final. So we're unlikely to see Hanners back for any Tahs matches until we return to the SFS. He did that over the last off-season. Hopefully he does it again this off-season too.

First good game out of him since his debut season. Here's hoping he can keep it up. I'll admit I had given up on him, my heart sunk when I saw him on the starting roster. If he can find a way to play that regularly I'll be incredibly happy.

It's not visible much on TV because the camera usually comes in quite tight so the person with the ball ends up off-screen, but it's pretty blatant in person. It's rampant. Easy to enforce as you say. One of the things the Drua coach was complaining about after their first match (saying it...

Sure are. I saw them available as replays yesterday. Watched the start of the Rebels v Fijiana while waiting for gates to open at GIO. Watched a little Reds v Force (only a few minutes) on Friday. Not sure why you're not seeing them, it's in a a teale colour when you go in to the rugby category.

Still too short to be a jumper in the lineout.

Rebels are a good defensive team, they're able to stifle most of the attack from other teams and leave fans saying "Oh our team just played badly that day". I'm convinced it's because of the Rebels defence. They're utterly lacking in attack, though, which just leaves ugly boring games. Tahs...

I presume tickets for SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) matches also give us access to the SW matches for those that are double-headers? I've got a ticket for GIO on the 5th, hoping I can watch both.

Going by the current players I'd be putting him straight in to 15. But hoping that's a more difficult thing to do in 12 months time.

I'm hoping they use KB (Kurtley Beale) as a mentor and a flexible bench option. He's play just about every position in the backs, and IMHO he's always at his best when coming from the bench as an impact player. Give the younger guys the starting roles & longer times on the field. Also hoping someone claims...
