    Round 5: Brumbies v Moana Pasifika. Fri 7.35PM AEDT @ GIO Stadium

    Agree Reg, although for me it's Loane, then Gavin then Kefu, although that might be an attempt not to show bias, as I know Tim Gavin..

    Round 5: Drua v Waratahs - Saturday 12pm AEDT

    It looks like one of those days where you stuff around with the font and forget to fix it before your press 'send'! Hopefully that front row performs better than last week. Still waiting to see Harrison back, if only off the bench. If it were me I'd probably have Wilson off the bench over...

    Waratahs 2024

    Not sure who's to blame, but the biggest problem at the Tahs is ball retention, and that is down to three things, penalties (and lots of them), poor kicking and poor handling. As I commented on the match thread, Whittaker stated at half time on Saturday night that holding on to the football was...

    Wallabies 2024

    The option is always to play Valetini at 6, where he has played for most of his career with the Brumbies and Wilson at 8. The other options at 6 are really Hooper and Leota, and at this early stage of the season I prefer Wilson and Valetini to them. 10 is a really tough one. I am a Carter...

    Super Rugby: Rd 4, 2024. NSW Waratahs v The Auckland Blues

    This was just a replay of Round 1 v the Reds. Plenty of effort, good D, a few pretty good attacking raids, but absolutely destroyed by just continually turning the ball over. The Tahs continue to be the most penalised team in Super rugby, they just don't seem to learn, and that combined with...

    Super Rugby: Rd 4, 2024. NSW Waratahs v The Auckland Blues

    Wow, no injury list, but I'm guessing Vailanu and Jorgensen have both been added to the list, with Porecki and Foketi still unavailable! Bringing Bell off the pine seems a risk, almost looks like GC is forfeiting this one!

    Round 3: Waratahs v Highlanders - Friday 8 March 2024

    Pretty happy with that team. Harry Wilson and FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) both unlucky, but imo a spot in the starting line-up had to be found for Hanigan. Harry Wilson doesn't have the explosive power of Perese, but I see him as a more complete footballer, probably would have started with Harry and bought Perese on...

    Round 3: Waratahs v Highlanders - Friday 8 March 2024

    Is Will Harrison available?

    Waratahs 2024

    It will be intersting to see selection around 4, 5, 6, 8, 19 and 20. I imagine Holloway will start at 4, Hanigan almost demanded to start with his performance on Saturday, but who do you move to the bench? Normally I would have said Sinclair, but he had a mighty game, as did FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner). Possibly...

    Waratahs 2024

    Perese I expect back, what about Harrison and Porecki? Also Slack-Smith, although I doubt he makes the 23. Do we know whether Peitsch is out due to concussion protocols?

    Waratahs 2024

    Looking at last weekend, all the following happened either in the Reds half or in mid-field, when we had the ball and thus on attack. Three poor line-out throws, three passes that went nowhere near the recipient, two perfectly good passes that were dropped cold and a penalty kick that failed to...

    Super Rugby Round One: Reds vs Waratahs. Suncorp Feb 24

    I give an opinion, Sully is just right! Sure you're not related to my wife?

    Super Rugby Round One: Reds vs Waratahs. Suncorp Feb 24

    Personally I didn't think Jorgensen's or Lynagh's went forward, but I see from here which was which clearly is based on which team you support!

    Super Rugby Round One: Reds vs Waratahs. Suncorp Feb 24

    Re Gamble v McReight, I think McReight wins that contest due to a very strong second half. Having said that, I thought they were both pretty good, Gamble was certainly one of the Tahs better forwards

    Waratahs 2024

    Just looking briefly at individual performances, Vailanu is rocks and diamonds. A few great tackles, a valuable turnover, but a couple af dreadful passes and inconsistent lineout throwing. Amotesiro is a big body and could be an asset, but needs a massve lift in workrate, he was hardly seen, and...

    Super Rugby Round One: Reds vs Waratahs. Suncorp Feb 24

    If the Tahs expect to win anything this year they are going to need the football. Losing their own lineout, woeful passes, good passes dropped cold, soft penalties, penalty kicks not going out, everytime you do that you gift the other side the football. Plenty of other things to work on, but...

    Waratahs 2024

    I imagine Wilson has been preferred because he covers more positions. Not sure who goes to 10 if Edmed gets injured, either Walton or Foketi I guess

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I don't know Waugh, and am not a Sydney Uni fan nor a Shore old boy, however while I was sceptical of his appointment, I stated I would wait and see, and that's just what I'm doing. I can understand anger from a Rebels fan, but directing that at a CEO who hasn't been in the job for twelve months...

    Waratahs 2024

    Getting the boot in early Reg, like any good Reds supporter! I'm very disappointed by what I've seen, but not writing the season off before we get to the big dance.

    Waratahs 2024

    I don't know if it was just Foketi, I thought our entire defence looked clueless. Communication between 12, 13 and the two wings seemed non-existent. Thee only positive for Foketi was he was the only one to cross the gain line with ball in hand. As dismal as the defence was, it was the lack of...
