Round 5: Rebels v Waratahs, Friday the 24th of March AAMI Park @7:40

[Pedrolicus]

The new tahs backline contains a lot more common sense than last week's. Players playing in their best positions, except I would swap Horne and Horwitz, but that's no biggee. Bit harsh on Simone, but his had a taste and I'm sure he'll get more opportunities as the season wears on.

Is Irae dropped or injured as in the media it said he sat out some training?

 

[mark_s]

Hooray, a new spine for the waratahs. Feeling better about this weeks game already.

 

[Rebels3]

That'd be right, just the Rebels luck. First game NSW picks a decent side with by far their best line up is against the Rebels. haha

Tahs to win convincingly (just trying to soften the blow)

Damien Fitzpatrick is the reserve hooker for the Tahs this week, not Hugh Roach.

 

[cyclopath]

Tahs by 17.

I want to like this, but for so many reasons I just can't. I suspect you might be invoking the mocker gods, and I suspect there's no need!

Thanks, I was just about to ask what was going on with him

You prefer the openside lie?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Hanigan would go to lock if they required two lock replacements.

And Holloway has played lock at Southern Districts. But Hanigan it would be as first choice. Plenty of cover though.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Compared to left and right?
Yes.

 

[Braveheart81]

Compared to left and right?
Yes.

Tahs should just appease the commenters on the front page and go with 6 and Not a 7.

 

[cyclopath]

Compared to left and right?
Yes.

Why does anyone care what players are called? It genuinely baffles me these days, given how much movement there is in attack, defence, set pieces etc...........

nothing inside the ground. some good pub grub up the road in swan street or in domain road on the south yarra side.

 

[Highlander35]

I like the Sausage guys, but grub is better value for money elsewhere.

 

[GoMelbRebels]
