Waratahs vs Rebels

[NTA]

Rebels not using Gordon at 10 is madness.

[NTA]

Inclusion of Hardwick is good for the Rebs - Wilkin has been good at the breakdown but Hardwick is a beast.

Continued selection of Powell is highly confusing. The best they've looked all year was when they had Sorovi-Gordon-To'omua running things late in the game last week.

There is some talent there coming through from league crossovers and the local system, but the selections are confusing.

[NTA]

As for the Tahs - same as last week bar the injuries. Porecki back, Cridge back.

The injury to Williams puts Langi Gleeson on the bench, which is interesting as he's more of a flanker than lock. Guess they're expecting Holloway and Cridge to play a whole game again.

@Daffy-Jaffy you've got Grant as captain, but believe it is Holloway

[Duluth]

Is Gamble eligible for the wallabies?

I think he might be under the residency rules.

Waratahs from 2020 and playing Subbies in 2018. One year at Premier club in between.

[NTA]

The SCG looks like an absolutely shit place to watch and play rugby

[NTA]

Holloway is absolutely manhandling people

[NTA]

Tizzano is a bit of a Pocock - great at the ruck but not much for anything else

[NTA]

Not much in that tackle but still a lift. Yellow the right result

[NTA]

Only Newsome could almost fuck that up from there

[Stargazer]

@duluth Yep, start counting from April 2018 at the latest, add 3 years (April 2021). So 3-year residency rule applies.

@stargazer not surprising he won the Kentwell medal the year he played Subbies (best player in Division 1)

I think he’s similar to Tom Christie, always high on the tackle stats but a limited player. Maybe he’ll develop

[NTA]

@duluth rumours of an attitude problem as well.

[NTA]

Tahs failing to find touch on two occasions now.

[NTA]

Win is a win. Flush the shitter and move on

[African Monkey]

@nta Came across that way in a few interviews/articles I read about him.
