Whetton can't even make the 23.
With Wykes back, and given the improved scrum performance and mobility around the park provided by Sinclair, easy decision.

@NTA Was Tom Horton ever the regular starting hooker at Sydney Uni?
Yeah that's him. U20 rep out of Mosman Whales.

At ground level, the Tahs attacking formation looks disjointed.
Rebels look sharp in attack. To’omua controlling the game with relatively little pressure.

They lose shape and then just bash around the fringes. Too easy for Faamausili and Hosea

To’omua looking Carter-esque out here tonight.

Chris Whittaker has yet to show he is much of an attack coach.

More messy execution in attack by the Tahs which costs them a penalty.

But we're making breaks. It's the handling that kills us.

The Tahs remind me of the Blues sides of the majority of the 2010s with ball in hand. They show promise but are awful at protecting their own ball. The Rebels loosies had a field day at breakdown led by Hardwick.
Could be a long few seasons for the Tahs going through a rebuild like this but it'll be worth it in the long run.

Will it, though?
Remember that these guys don't have any victories to look forward to, and will be thinking about their careers. Their agents will be thinking about their careers.
Do you stay and risk it staying crap? Do you get out and blame the crap on the circumstances?
I know what you're saying, particularly given the age of some of these kids, but there will be some serious contemplation going on.
