@Steven-Harris looks like he had bulked up a bit too.

Yes, he looks like he has spent a little bit more time in the gym.
Defense may be the area of focus for him this week. I saw him drop off a couple of tackles (one led to a Waratah try) but, overall, a good first up effort for the Ponies.

@Pepe yea he has always had an issue with falling off some tackles, although on one he fell off that lead to a try, the guy did go to deck, so unsure it would have stopped the try if he had held on.

Loved watching SBW play both codes. Incredible footballer

But I wouldn't care if I never heard him speak again

You didn't like his special comments, bro?

@Dan54 They’re trying too hard with the labels but if I’d been an Aussie rugby fan the past decade I’d be looking for the next superstar too!!

Was funny when they said ‘we don’t need to see Jorgensen’s dad anymore.’

Brumbies are going to trouble the Blues next week

I'll wait until I see the blues play before agreeing - Ponies have some injuries now

Welp, after watching the Blues demolish the Clan and Canes over the Reds, looks like Aussie fans are in for another long season

Quite possibly the increased pace and duration of play will benefit the teams with better skills. In an oxygen deprived state, those players will make better decisions and execute more accurately.

Wallabies prop Angus Bell is facing a second consecutive season on the sidelines and a race against time to make his first World Cup squad after re-injuring his foot in the opening round of Super Rugby.

Bell ruptured the ligament in the big toe on his right foot in the first half of the Waratahs’ opening-round loss to the Brumbies in Sydney on Friday night

Scans over the weekend revealed it was the same injury that ended his Test season last year. He faces four to six months on the sidelines and was considering further surgery on the foot, the Waratahs said.

There was a bit of talk about him coming in without any warm up games beforehand. Not a great look for the back office if he's returned with...
