Waratahs v Reds

[NTA]

Surprised we didn't get a reset there - tahs LHP going backwards

[Higgins]

@nta I watched him (Edmed) and that guy with the huge long Fijian name (Mark N something) playing Shute Shield when we used to get it in NZ. Boy they were both very average.

Just shave it off, mun

He's solid but think young Harrison will take that spot

[Derpus]

@higgins Donaldson is by far the worst of the three. Dunno how he's managed to wriggle his way into the starting gig.

The issue now is our lineout is fucking useless with Horton on. We're not as powerful in the second row. Everything is a lottery

[NTA]

Wow that was a clear step around by red. Fucking hell DAaymon

He gets it right second time

Horton to fuck the lineout

[NTA]

Gotta be a yellow card now

What the fuck is this ground? It's like a club ground. But big ups for those braving the weather

Yeah first half was enjoyable, I could forgive the errors, cos that is some shit weather. But there was real lack of brains in adjusting to it in the second half

[NTA]

The Reds just did EXACTLY what the Tahs were penalised for earlier - latching player going straight to deck

[Derpus]

Why the fuck go for a droppy when you have advantage right in front? Surely you roll the dice and at least try and score a try.

[antipodean]

NSW lose a game they should've won by miles because they fielded a second grade five-eighth and some gingers. Just some unbelievably stupid, panicky shit.

[antipodean]

And the Reds' coach is employed on reputation as a player.

[Derpus]

@antipodean worst flyhalf since Halangahu.

He'll need to improve his pop gun kicks.

Young reds bench 9 was good

Get Donaldson off the fucking field.

Edmed on. Another Clubbie

Are some of the selections based on things other than actual playing ability? Using an example Eastwood have Edmed, Mark Nawaqanitawase and Ed Craid all playing Soper Rugby. Either the standard of players available in those positions (1st five, wing and hooker) are not great or maybe other things are at play when squad positions are handed out. Using Tom Horton as another example, was he even first choice at Sydney Uni last season?
