If the Tahs can be competitive in the scrums this season it will be a miracle. We're missing our first and second choice LHP, first and second choice hooker, and second choice THP!! It looks like a front row genocide. That aside, good to see Hanigan and Gleeson back in the side. Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) being...

There certainly is something dramatically wrong. Most of the players seem to be putting in a genuine effort, and there is enough indication of talent for this side to be genuinely competitive, however they just can't put it together. Year on year they are the most penalised side, and not because...

Tahs work really hard, plenty of individual talent, but just mind-numbingly stupid!!!

Harrison needs to stop talking immediately

Tahs as always giving the game away with penalties. A couple of passes dropped absolutely cold doesn't help either. Brumbies haven't been spectacular, but accurate, they just don't give the ball away like the Tahs. Pollard looks really good, Lolesio looking more and more like our best 10, Tua...

Front row will depend on who's available. Porecki and Bell back and we shouldn't be in too much trouble.

He actually has played a bit of 12. Having said that, I would rate Foketi, Walton and Tuipolotu all ahead of hm at 12.

I have been holding fire re Coleman, but after that debacle I am thinking maybe he's not the guy. I won't blame him for the scrum, it's not his fault we are without Bell, Lambert, Porecki, Holtz and Botha, resulting in us playing Shute Shield and U20's front rowers. However, two issues...

Agree Reg, although for me it's Loane, then Gavin then Kefu, although that might be an attempt not to show bias, as I know Tim Gavin..

It looks like one of those days where you stuff around with the font and forget to fix it before your press 'send'! Hopefully that front row performs better than last week. Still waiting to see Harrison back, if only off the bench. If it were me I'd probably have Wilson off the bench over...

Not sure who's to blame, but the biggest problem at the Tahs is ball retention, and that is down to three things, penalties (and lots of them), poor kicking and poor handling. As I commented on the match thread, Whittaker stated at half time on Saturday night that holding on to the football was...

The option is always to play Valetini at 6, where he has played for most of his career with the Brumbies and Wilson at 8. The other options at 6 are really Hooper and Leota, and at this early stage of the season I prefer Wilson and Valetini to them. 10 is a really tough one. I am a Carter...

This was just a replay of Round 1 v the Reds. Plenty of effort, good D, a few pretty good attacking raids, but absolutely destroyed by just continually turning the ball over. The Tahs continue to be the most penalised team in Super rugby, they just don't seem to learn, and that combined with...

Wow, no injury list, but I'm guessing Vailanu and Jorgensen have both been added to the list, with Porecki and Foketi still unavailable! Bringing Bell off the pine seems a risk, almost looks like GC is forfeiting this one!

Pretty happy with that team. Harry Wilson and FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) both unlucky, but imo a spot in the starting line-up had to be found for Hanigan. Harry Wilson doesn't have the explosive power of Perese, but I see him as a more complete footballer, probably would have started with Harry and bought Perese on...

Is Will Harrison available?

It will be intersting to see selection around 4, 5, 6, 8, 19 and 20. I imagine Holloway will start at 4, Hanigan almost demanded to start with his performance on Saturday, but who do you move to the bench? Normally I would have said Sinclair, but he had a mighty game, as did FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner). Possibly...

Perese I expect back, what about Harrison and Porecki? Also Slack-Smith, although I doubt he makes the 23. Do we know whether Peitsch is out due to concussion protocols?

Looking at last weekend, all the following happened either in the Reds half or in mid-field, when we had the ball and thus on attack. Three poor line-out throws, three passes that went nowhere near the recipient, two perfectly good passes that were dropped cold and a penalty kick that failed to...

I give an opinion, Sully is just right! Sure you're not related to my wife?
