Waratahs v British & Irish Lions - Saturday, 5 July @ SFS

[Shiggins]

Well done tahs. Lions have been very poor for their standards and compared to the first 2 games but you can't deny the tahs defensive efforts tonight.

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Fuck me that Barrett kid is the shittest scrummer I've seen for a while.

 

[Super Hooper]

For some reason Jack Grant is the third half-back

 

[Shiggins]

Gamble, amatosero and lambert have played themselves into wallabies contention tonight
Easily their best games of the year for the tahs

They are not even close though. They won't get a look in unless we have 2 injuries or so in there positions.

 

[Micheal]

Miles has played well tonight but let’s not get carried away — I still have PSTD after the last season of him being useless.

This kind of answers that.

 

[Major Tom]

How about the lions back rower before going nuts with the scrum dominance. Twit.

 

[Shiggins]

Hahahahaha. TMO you beauty. Ben earl you flog

Agree (that they had good games).

Amatosero is still a young man who looks to still be growing into his body. He'll hopefully get better.
Gamble is my MOTM. Cracking performance.
Lambert really solid.

 

[Wilson]

Gamble has had a huge game and will get another crack in the Indigenous/Pasifika game, but he's been pretty inconsistent for the last two years and is sitting behind to of the best performers in Super and a Wallabies jersey in McReight and Tizzano. He's putting himself in the frame as injury cover, but he's not pushing past them into the squad off the back of one game.

That probably goes double for Amatosero, but Lambert might be the closest of the 3 given our shallow depth at prop.

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Fair, the fact that his last game was against the Rebels and he got folded in a similar matter doesn't help his case..

 

[Shiggins]

How the hell is it 10-21 76 min in. The tahs have made some absolute blunders and have no scrum.

 

[Super Hooper]

For some reason Jack Grant is the third half-back (2)

 

[Shiggins]

The tahs have dragged the lions into a error ridden blunder of a game. Hahah.

 

[molman]

Oh geez. That was a farce.

 

[LeCheese]

Paul Williams is refereeing this like an Under 8s fixture at this point

 

[Strewthcobber]

Last 30 mins have been absolutely dire watching. Barely pro standard

Yes I should have mentioned wallabies squad contention for the 35 man squad
They won’t be in the 23

TBF the teams arn't helping. Knock on after knock on.

Because Paul Williams is staying at Phil Waugh’s beach house this summer mate, I’m telling ya
