Particularly when it was a reset after being absolutely drilled in the previous scrum, having competely disintegrated, fed it into the second row and had Hooper win it cleanly other side and be called back.....

taken more than a minute for the kick already

Brumbies massively lucky on that scrum

9 points down, kickabel penalty and they go for touch. Has Denis forgotten you get points for goals?

Jeez will sleton can shift bodies - tahs won that feed because he shifted the collapsed maul back over the ball

need to give TPN a rest - he has made some great carries but he is in bits at the moment

Turned down another certain 3

To'omua will go for this

Insane decision - 25 minutes left and a guaranteed 3 points to put them within two scores. This is sending a message to the Brumbies that they are worried. Even if they score and convert they still need two scores

Miliimeters in this - not over yet

Waratahs looking good on attack - but being killed for defensive urgency

Is that correct Ash - I thought it was only out if the player caught it, not knocked it?

Law 12: A knock-on occurs when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch...

Waratahs lineout is amysmal

Agreed - I have always thought Chapman was a great squad man - honest around the padock and handy in the lineout - unfortuately he is one of those lads that maybe doesn't quite have the frame to really make it as atsarting lock or the all round game to make it in the back row. Cutch is another...

Couple of great posts here LG and Hawko - always enjoy your stuff but this is quality. Being passionate about your team shouldn't preclude having a critical eye. Can I add one other issue to the list that I think has been systemic in NSW for a long while. In NSW we have always loved our rock...

Theres not much physically between Beale and Conrad Smith, Brian O'Driscoll or Wesley Fofana and they go alright at 13 - all around the six foot, 90+kg mark. None of them hit like Kuridrani (with or without the ball), but they create and make the players around them better than they are, and...

Couple of thoughts on Beale and Folau: 1. I have always felt that Beale was going to end up somewhere other than 10 - not to say that he wasn't quite good as a 10, but his natural skillset is not suited to playing that close to the forwards at the top level. Beale is great at reading broken...

Or let AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) defend in the 13 channel if Kurtley isn't up to it and bring him in from the wing on attack?

Thanks Cardiffblue - always interesting to get an outside perspective on things you are close to. I certainly agree with you on the second rows. Any match in which our locks gain parity is a good one. Horwill has it in him to be better - and has been, but not recently. There is potential...
