@chris he's so small he's not a running threat either.

Yeah must be a better HB in Nsw

@nta

He "has the full confidence of the board", so he'll likely be out before the end of the season.

@african-monkey Brumbies and Reds maybe close. Probably not.

@nta said in SR Australia Round 3: Waratahs v Western Force:

Having slept on it, I'm happy with the improvement. Again it was a step up from last week, tho against a weaker opponent. It is still going to be a long season, and a lot of these guys aren't going to feature in Wallaby gold this year.

Just hope NSWRU HQ get over their complete lack of self-awareness and leave Penney in place.

Read an article on Fox I think. It's all NZ's fault: Hore, Gibson, Penny ...

Checks out. 😉

I wouldn't blame Penney tho.

@nta Swinton will definitely help. Harris at 6 was anonymous.

I wonder what's going to happen with captaincy with Gordon presumably out - Sinclair seemed to take over the captaincy but he was off the bench - does Sinclair start at 8?

Old man Kahui is the best Force back

Wow only 45-12 talk about going to sleep glad I didn’t stay up to watch the 2nd half...not that I would’ve of course

The young lock from the Rebels, Trevor Hosea looked really impressive . Another quality youngster from the 2019 u20s team.

Good finish after the Tahs controlled they final quarter, but a late try to seal it for the Brumbies.

@barbarian I'm with you till the last bit. They only got half the known crowd size. Now they've got a win, the crowds might start coming back.

I've given up supporting them. Couldn't be bothered going to the ground to see what I knew would eventuate. Went for a ride instead.

Well you just missed the last game of pro rugby for a while!

@Stargazer
You mean complete and utter bullshit the wrong way.

Holding guys down like that should earn you a slap and sit down.

Yeah. Wonder what set Simmons off?

Bet Owen Franks had a laugh at that.

@Tim yep, not looking good for the two big cities.

@RoninWC said in Waratahs vs Blues:
With Beaudy to come in and steer the cutter behind that pack has me looking forward to the remainder of the tournament.

And... Akira who?
Sotutu played really well and didn't deserve that yellow card. What has impressed me most is his work-rate. With him and Patty T working in tandem we have two imposing defenders.

Akira came on and looks fat and disinterested, yet again. That guy just doesn't seem to have it between the ears. All the talent in the world but doesn't look to have the drive.

There was that one tackle where his jersey got pulled right up exposing his trunk and quite frankly, what you saw was very disappointing for what should be a first class athlete.

So he's fa..., sorry, "working on his conditioning".

@cgrant said in Crusaders v Waratahs (Round 1):

Has Havili ever played at 1st Five ? He could be a good back up to Mo'unga in case of emergency. The Crusaders could play Jordan or Bridge at fullback if he has to move there.

I did not expect my question to be so quickly answered by the Crusaders staff ... (see the lineup against the Chiefs).

Nice stadium.

Shit performance by the Tahs. Scared, little, bitches.
