I remember an article much earlier this year said Coleman wanted a trial or two at the end of this year because to the lack of games due to Covid and the side-heavy calendar Super Rugby teams have. There's things in game situations you can gain that you can't from training sessions. That's what...

What got me about that article was them talking about a lack of depth at 10. Super Rugby fans have a lot of 10's they're super excited about. Is it simply that they're not Wallabies level yet (in which case start giving them the experience & training to get up there), or does Rennie et al think...

Plus the SuperRugbyAU competition was just fun to watch. Even as someone whose team didn't win a single match in AU nor TT. If we can have that again in 2022 it'll be a great start to the season, even if the whole thing is technically SuperRugbyPacific. I'm just hoping it still has a Tahs home...

That's about the only reason I'm disappointed rugby left Foxtel. I liked having it under Kayo as I also watched MotoGP and a few other things. But the broadcast team were getting budgets cut, the team felt like they were just going through the motions, and the company was trying to turn it in to...

Trial match against the Rebels on Thursday 16th of December ... behind closed doors. It's more about giving the players game time after a long off-season, so I'm not surprised.

Day 1 - English commentary: No placeholder for day 2 yet. But when it is added it should appear here: https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldRugby/videos?view=2&live_view=502

Hopefully the few additions and the different coach can be effective in turning things around for us. It's going to be a big year. The full article on the squad is here - https://nsw.rugby/news/nsw-waratahs-unveil-2022-super-rugby-pacific-squad-20211121 Has anyone heard anything about the 2...

The name of it is a nod to that, yes. They admitted as much in the opening show.

More pre-season action. 5th of November (International Nutella Day) sees the Waratahs play 25-minute thirds against West Harbour, Hunter Wildfires, and then the Two Blues. This will be followed by 3 25-minute matches between the 3 Shute Shield teams. First game at 4pm, final game ending around...

29th of Jan sees a pre-season match against Brumbies being held in Bowral. More than close enough to attend and still return home that evening. With a Waratah Women's City v Country as the warm-up match. And the previously announced Waratahs v Reds pre-season match on the 12th of Feb in Roma...

McDermott & White are both brilliant. They also both slow down as the game progresses so when one replaces the other, the one who just came on the field looks better because they're fresher and faster at the time than the one who just went off. They both do this to each other. This argument...

I wouldn't expect there to be much news on new signings at this time of year either, really? This time of year more securing existing talent & new prospects.

He's only 33. That's not _that_ old for a player. He wasn't the best in defence. But his biggest problem IMHO was that if the opposition use rush defence on him and deny him time, he always used to make the worst possible decision. Passing when he should hold, holding when he should pass, etc...

The countdown on the Reset22 site ends at 6:30pm Friday the 11th of February 2022.

Didn’t Abel say farewell at the end of the Brookevale game?

Foketi isn’t the best 12, but he’s the best in our current squad in that position. So I’m glad he’s re-signed. New website for all the details about what’s coming up in 2022. Including an article about Foketi and his re-signing. https://nsw.rugby/reset22 I notice the confirmed squad...

Like I said, if things go well ... ... ... If they don't, I'll just be StanSport-ing all the things.

If things go well lockdown will end in August some time and the SCG test can go ahead. Already got tickets to the SCG match (purchased for a game against France & got tickets re-assigned). If movement restrictions eased in time I'll also snap up a ticket to the Newie & Canberra matches.

Then he needs to be. I thought the only reason he wasn't was because of injury.

Back on to the support thing. That and our poor kicking have my main bugbears with Australian rugby. Has been for over a decade now. Adam Ashley-Cooper has always been one of my favourite players of the post-2000's era. He himself wasn't particularly spectacular at anything. His real skill is...
