Waratahs v Chiefs

[voodoo]

So we are not even calling them the "Bench" or "Reserves" anymore huh?

[Bovidae]

A good idea to rest Jacobson now as I think he's played every minute so far.

[ARHS]

No Ioane or Reihana on bench and no sign of Moli. But good to rest SS and Luke. Can Samisoni and DMac play v Blues or not?

[Bovidae]

@ARHS Ioane will be on bereavement leave.

Players not considered because of injury: Angus Ta’avao (season), Atu Moli, Josh Lord, Quinn Tupaea, Anton Lienert-Brown, Tupou Vaa’i, Laghlan McWhannell

I would be giving Samisoni a break this week, Thompson a pretty good replacement.

I count 13 missing - many of whom are starters.

Downside: It'll be a fucking slaughter
Upside: I get free beers at a function from 4PM before heading to the ground
Downside: I'll be heading to the ground with Chiefs fans
Upside: I get free entry and more free beer
Downside: so do the Chiefs fans
Upside: I was expecting a slaughter anyway

I can only see upsides

[ARHS]

@Bovidae thanks. Moli seems injured all the time

Yeah, Moli has been a permanent food bill in recent seasons.

He injured his right shoulder in the last pre-season game, but there hasn't been any recent injury updates.

[ARHS]

@Bovidae Thanks. Rivez Reihana is the other mystery non-participant for me. Hoping Gideon Wrampling is available soon.

At least it's not "Starters" and "Finishers" Ffs sounds like a bloody dinner.

[Yeetyaah]

Waratahs jersey needs a bigger sponsor on the front

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs already looking pretty slick compared to last week

[KiwiMurph]

Horrible start by the Tahs.

[Canes4life]

Serious question, is Hooper still international quality? Since he had his mental health issues last year he just hasn’t looked like the same player.

He’s a top bloke so I hope he can get back to his lofty standards, however he has some way to go on form.

[KiwiMurph]

That was a long advantage for a knock on.

School boys make less errors than these Tahs.
