Super Rugby-TT: Rd 1 Waratahs v Hurricanes, May 14th, SCG

[KOB1987]

Someone had to come up off the canvas eventually to start it, so here it is..

 

[Derpus]

I thought we were pretending it wasn't happening

 

[KOB1987]

It should actually be an interesting contest, the Canes have been battered with injuries, and the SCG is traditionally a definite home ground advantage.

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Does anyone know which way the field is oriented? Trying to determine value of ticket with potential view.

 

[Rob42]

Fortunately, the game is so far away from the spectators at the SCG, it should dull the pain.

OK, enough of the negativity. Looking forward to seeing the Gordon-Harrison relationship develop, hopefully the Tahs have been running plenty of defensive drills in the past 2 weeks.

Assuming it's the same as recent games, the MA Noble and Bradman stands face one in-goal, with a corner flag close to the junction between those stands and the Members. Bill O'Reilly stand faces the sideline, but a long way from the action.

Are you talking about Tahs fans or us Canes ones Derpus? You will notice I am slow in saying a lot at moment.

 

[footy1>31]

Absolutely nothing to lose with no expectations so can't wait

 

[Crashy]

yeah we're going - first Tahs game of the season for me. Will dig up the scarf and look to drain a few frothies. Fuck-it regardless of the score it will be a night at the footy!

Super Rugby 2021: NSW Waratahs to bench Will Harrison and Carlo Tizzano for Wellington Hurricanes clash (smh.com.au)

Interesting. Possibly Tizzano on the bench.

All of them will be roughly the same order of distance and therefore average.

Wife's birthday on Friday so I have to miss this rather than attend a corporate thing. Dammit.

I know less than half that squad. Funny what a few years off regular Super Rugby does to your knowledge of other countries players.

It’s more than enough to do away with the ‘Tahs unfortunately. I’ve been very impressed with young Reuben Love, should be a good match up against Donaldson.

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Ruben Love would have to be the coolest name in rugby.

I reckon the tarts will give this a good crack.

Opted to watch on the box will be a better view for sure. The new stadium cannot be finished quick enough. It looks to be coming along nicely though.

To be fair people who watch every week in NZ may struggle to know a few of them! Geez what is Holland thinking?

I am actually looking forward to seeing the Gordon/Donaldson relationship continue to develop...
