You're crazy

Drew just tweeted that his surgery went well, and is expected "back on deck" in a few months. Not sure if that means on deck walking or on deck playing, but probably is good news either way and hopefully the fracture wasn't as bad as we all feared

I don't think they did, no points awarded for the penalty try, tongue in cheek or lolling out

God it's tempting to start a JOC (James O'Connor) to waratahs? thread

What happened when the tahs took the 3 was they got the ball deep in their half and with no foresight kicked it back to the reds. One of their strengths last year was the ability to hold the ball from their own half and put pressure on opposition defense. This has gone put the window, and...

That's pretty piss poor

Speaking of the coaches linguistic skills, does anyone else to struggle to understand what he's on about? The wife calls him mumbles. It's like he tries to hide his kiwi accent by not opening his mouth. I can't stand watching him interviewed

Saw that too - looked like he took a knock on the scrum drop and then went off. Agree that once he went we should have taken the penalty. Considering the circumstances, I understand why they didn't try to use the backline. Your starting 10 and 13 are out. Your main try scoring and attacking...

Right, off to bed. Need my 5 hours. Y'all can argue the merits of scrums without me

I wish you were

How does that saying go again reddy? It's not if at third time you don't succeed, give up and try sonething else... One time they put on a backline move, and turner got thrown into touch by Cooper of all people. The forward dominance was the way to go, even though it didn't win the game

The simple solution is not to watch Wally on 9. Again, it's rugby. Why do we let league pundits try to dictate that union should be played like league?

The intent was 7 points, not 3. And just to piss the home fans off. That it pissed you off is just a personal bonus. The scrum is an attacking set piece of play, wether by pushover or good platform. You can't foresee the circumstances, but he'd the scrum twisted the right way, or the ball...

Yeah, but then he went off next scrum and stayed off.

you may want to watch a replay and see why there were so many resets. perhaps the reds couldn't complete and were being forced off the ball? you should have told the tahs off - I'm sure it would have made a big impression. again, congrats on getting the win

3: brown (I feel dirty just typing it) 2: JOC (James O'Connor) (pity about the bullshit yellow) 1: sykes (good on him from turning his career around this year)

agree the resetting is a problem, but going for repeated scrums to dominate an opposition forward pack os all rugby. remember the reds fucking about with holmes v daley on and off again caused a fair few of those rests/breaks between the scrums I woud wager if the prop and 8 you were sitting...

oh please. you want a game with no set piece contest, watch league. Yes, congrats on the win, but if you cant handle a game fought and decided in the forwards at set piece, then you are into the wrong sport.

to be fair, Gnostic never said this was a national issue, and the thread was started with a waratah focus, and never mentioned you shouldnt be happy with the reds success. Not sure why you had to jump in to be honest. I can see you are bitter that the reds had been shit for a long while, but why...

can I confirm you are complaining about a rugby game being fought on set piece play?
