Waratahs v Highlanders

NTA

After the performance on Saturday the rugby faithful better turn out at Allianz.

I'm going. Anyone else?

$40 for a GA ticket with 2 Cooper's is the going offer advertised to clubs

NTA

Angus Bell, Mahe Vailanu, Harry Johnson-Holmes, Jed Holloway, Hugh Sinclair, Ned Hanigan, Charlie Gamble, Langi Gleeson, Jake Gordon (c), Tane Edmed, Triston Reilly, Joey Walton, Izaia Perese, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Max Jorgensen

Reserves: Julian Heaven, Hayden Thompson-Stringer, Tom Ross, Miles Amatosero, Fergus Lee-Warner, Teddy Wilson, Harry Wilson, Mosese Tuipulotu

Hannigan returns to the starting lineup with FLW taking his spot on the bench.

Reilly in for Pietsch (HIA?).

Perese back from HIA, pushing Wilson to the bench.

Tom Ross (ex Brumbies) to debut for the tahs from the bench in place of Botha

Minimal changes. Good.

@NTA I picked the Landers to win this but that Waratah's team looks pretty settled.

Being settled never stopped them fucking it up before...

Canes4life

@NTA it doesn't but it could also spell danger because that Highlanders pack looks a little disjointed.

Maybe I'm underestimating the Tahs, but I'm not convinced by them just yet. That was an average Crusaders side, with a few flukey tries to boot. On another day, I suspect the Saders run away with that game. They were flogged Round One.

The Highlanders have previously struggled in these games, because we haven't had a backline capable of pouring on the points, so it inevitably came down to fine margins. 10 tries in two games is a cracking start, and there is no reason why that doesn't continue.

I see something like 38-29 to the Highlanders.

@frugby yep mate , I have the Clan in my picks too. I not sure if it my heart nudging my head one way, but I can see them sneaking this.

Canes4life

They should move the Super Round to Sydney.

That's a horrible call, TT wasn't even on the ball 🤣

Mattasaurus

Heart wants landers..... but I tipped Tahs.....

Glad to see some discipline being enforced with the boys being stood down..... culture has been pretty loose last year or two...and that leaked in to their performances.

Mattasaurus

Bit fortunate..... but we'll take it!!!

Canes4life

Great start by the Landers. 10-0 after a couple mins.

Bones

That looks like a bullshit call. Could've sworn those guys were next to Patchell when he dropped it.

Bones

Broughton is shiiiit

Grooter

Fakatava looks good

Mattasaurus

Glad to see those ones being called

Good call on that attempted turnover - balancing on elbows / forearms has become too common

Bones

Discipline going to shit again. Ainsley you should be setting the standard not giving away all the penalties.
