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

I thought Kellaway was excellent in defence.

They still lost lol, nothing to praise. Everyone acting like they won

Glad the Tahs never signed Hansen, ordinary

Always thought he was wasted as a winger tbf. He threw a lovely left to right cut-out pass tonight. He's always had the makings of a flyhalf, having played there in JID for a good couple of years.

Seems a fullback to me.

Honestly a pisstake. The guy can play. Certain Brumbies posters bagged the Tahs for not signing him when the Brumbies let him go

Honestly I increasingly can't tell the difference between the two positions these days. They're both playmakers and distributors who very often don't stand at first receiver, rather tucking in behind the first or second pod. The main difference in most cases is that the 15 is a little bit faster. Tom Wright in particular is just a flyhalf GTI.

 

[Uh huh]

Lions 20 turnovers lost and Tahs 10 turnovers won is probably the story of the match, for a game that was a comfortable loss, but kind of felt a win for NSW

Tahs D did the job mostly, but 38 missed tackles and 80% success rate is a bit ugly. Kellaway a game high 6 misses (although he made 17 which is a mad number for an outside back)

Imagine what Luke Reimer is going to do to this rabble. I still hope the Brumbies bench him and bring him on at around the 50 minute mark when the Lions are shuffling the backline. They're going to struggle to string four phases together.

You are.

But you're not a dickhead. Big difference.

Honestly i thought tonight would be the Lions by 40+

Huge effort from the Tahs and a very entertaining game

Were you expecting waratahs B to beat the lions? Apologies to Darby Lancaster for having a blinder

Because it’s the best of England, Ireland and Scotland all of which are ranked above the Wallabies, who had played three games now coming in

The Tahs were missing seven or eight Wallabies and were widely expected to lose by 40-50+

If you always root against Aus rugby and young up and comers like Lancaster than why be on the forum?

This isn't true either, he was always going to Ireland, the bagging of the Tah's is tongue in cheek.

I know/knew it was tongue in cheek, same as my original post. At the time some people took it more seriously than others.

 

[TSR]

I was worried for Barrett before the game - genuine safety concern having to step up so far in terms of scrummaging quality.

But now that he’s got through it what an experience for the young man.

Im pretty guttered he left, I was seriously hoping he would become the Brumbies 10.. I thought he had all the skill set to be a brilliant 10, which has translated to being a brilliant winger/fullback as well.

He will be one of the starting wingers verse the Wallabies.
