Having seen every Tahs game this year I also think its the new 'AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) can't pass' / 'Hooper isn't a 7' as well. I haven't seen much improvement, and he still misses straightforward tackles and lacks impact at the ruck (often when impact is needed most). Another season or two of Super Rugby and...

Otherwise, what people are forgetting is that the bloke was on his buck's party, in a fucking cow costume, and his mates probably got him pissed to within in an inch of his life (as is their responsibility). I think we all know people in our own circles who have publicly embarrassed themselves...

Tomane and Mogg also being released by their club - opportunity for an Aus club to jump on them?

To be fair - I don't think this is THAT bad. Obviously not a good look, but it seems that he was just uber-pissed and mistook the bar for the urinal. As in, he literally walked up to the front and starting pee'ing. I've had friends pee in the corner of their room, in their girlfriends shoes...

Haha - the Force logo is simply that. I'm a Sydney born and bred Waratahs fan. I changed my logo in solidarity a while ago and completely forgot about it tbh. I'm just frustrated with the Brumbies crowds / engagement, which seemingly has no end of excuses. "It's cold in Canberra". It's...

Also - 1 page on a Saturday night match thread and about 34 people at the ground. Thank God for the Brumbies.

Well. The Brumbies fucked it. They weren't even bad in phase play - they were just dumb. 15 vs. 13 with a scrum 10 out? One off pass to Speight who is tackled by his opposite number. So, so, so dumb. 15 vs. 14 with a lineout 10 out? Use a short lineout to politely negate their forward...

If nothing else, I think JD has looked really good tonight. Getting better every game.

Rangi has simply got to go. 2 or 3 not straights, a high tackle, off his feet at the breakdown. The guys given away up to 5 penalties by himself alone.

I think Timanis had a great game - he makes impactful clean outs and tackles. Hard to notice but really momentum stopping stuff. Could Rangi give away any more penalties if he tried? Forwards are having a shocker. Scrum and lineout utterly non existent.

Was Miller not injured as well at the end of the game? Hence why we finished with Roach in the backrow. Either way - I think all of Hooper, Wells, Miller and Holloway are coming into some form and I wouldn't mind any of them starting. When's Dempsey due back? That'll throw a spanner in the...

Turnover to Hooper. 'Not a 7' Right after Miller with a turnover. 2x 7s working well.

Holy moly. You are corruptboomerang on /r/rugby. Everything makes sense now.

@Rebels3, the Wallabies WOULD go to shit if we continued to exclusively select Wallabies from the Australian competition. If we go all domestic, this will have to change, and I think a world in which we do this isn't apocalyptical. Teams: 1 Sydney Waratahs (Inner North Shore & Eastern Sydney...

I was thinking about Pat Sio on the way home last night and it got me thinking. Do the Waratahs approach potential future recruits in order to let them know that they're on their radar? I ask because Pat has had conditioning / commitment problems in the past (if my sources are correct in...

Looking at this years squad, we have a few areas of vulnerability and the most prominent of these are in the forward pack (the second row and a lack of viable, heavyweight ball-runners). With that in mind, I've been looking at what options we have to target to recruit in 2019, and I've come up...

That 23 has: + 6 Rebels + 6 Tahs + 5 Reds + 4 Brumbies + 1 overseas + 1 player (Hodge / Kuridrani / Kerevi) from either the Rebels, Brumbies, or Reds. Given the conference currently sits: + Rebels + Tahs + Reds + Brumbies It doesn't seem that unrealistic. Also, as TSR mentioned, most...

My 23 thus far in the season, given incumbency and form: 1. Alaalaatoa 2. Polota-Nau 3. Kepu 4. Phillip 5. Coleman 6. McAffrey 7. Hooper 8. Pocock 9. Genia 10. Foley 11. Koroibete 12. Beale 13. CFS 14. DHP 15. Folau 16. Slipper 17. Paenga-Amosa 18. Sio 19. Rodda / Tui 20. Timu 21. Gordon 22...

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that Simon Raiwalui has been added to the Wallabies coaching staff as forwards coaching staff. Played Aus Schoolboys, for Sale, Newport, Racing Metro, Saracans and for the Fijian test side (43 caps). He's apparently coached for Racing Metro, Stade...

This concerns me - he's not going to develop as a player without time on the park, and if he spends the entire season on the bench he might regress. At this rate he wont be playing until the NRC. Otherwise, I'm loving the Reds this year. Such great attitudes. I also really like some of your...
