And that sums up the Western Force in a nutshell - no player loyalty, poor selections leading to a lack of combinations and always looking for the next shiny object. Why play Matt Proctor at all when they knew he was going (even though he had a good game and would be an asset). Maybe the...

Why would you bother writing that? Wider squad players, academy players and club players all playing. A great initiative that should be applauded.

They are tweeting scored-7-0 to Reds

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/leicester-to-fill-hooker-gap-with-short-term-super-rugby-signing-horton-waratahs/ Premiership starts 9 Sept. According to article, injury cover. Nic Dolly suffered bad injury.

The Tahs lineout was third best in Super Rugby if the Super.Rugby.com stats are correct - just above the Brumbies and below Highlanders and Chiefs. Our scrum % was also mid tier at 75% although equal with Brumbies.

Ruan Smith become available for selection and is far more experienced than Tiaan who is still young. Tough assignment vs Fijian front row who were massive (and wily). Sinclair is unavailable until next week. Langi can play 6 and 8 and isn't a pure 7. Not much between Robbo and Grant except...

Given all squad and extended squad played vs Two Blues etc, suggests Carlo is more likely injured as you would have him ahead of Tom Silk who is a relative newcomer training with the squad, no offence intended.

I hate uncontested scrums full stop. It impacts scrums, rolling mauls, and all the other things the short stocky men do around the field. Let's hope contingency planning includes lots of extra roving front rowers, covid testing every day and that the team Covid bubbles work. And that this...

So if it is disaster planning then why not change the rule to allow for a match to be rescheduled given the extenuating circumstances rather than forfeit? Schedule the time in advance a bit like the wet weather round in Shute Shield to replay the game.

Seriously ridiculous when most teams have 3 sets of props training then add in props from the wider training squad and those who have trained in pre-season. The scrum is a major area of contest in the game. Its not the under 9s.

Uncontested scrums . The Clan will not be expecting that.

Aha, long term partner? Not that there is anything wrong with that but it was your vomit inducing sycophantic posts that drew my ire. Sugar and Spice World is so much nicer than cranky old man world :)

What bullshit - I didn't say that at all. The Waratahs were thumped - everyone knows that but why kick them when they are down?

You are getting on my goat Greying and Tiresome Old Man. You are Ed Craig’s grandfather aren’t you? Why do you feel the need to run others down and pump up the tyres of another? They are all young blokes trying their hearts out. I support all young players irrespective of the school they went...

Glad you all think there is no problem with the three current contracted Tah's hookers. There are 4. You forgot Robbie Abel.
