Fuck me. Every single of one of those (maybe bar Shipperley) are 1st XV players. Madness.

It appears Foley is under a concussion cloud and if he's fit I assume Horwitz will drop off the bench. If he's out Hegarty to 10 and Horwitz to 23. I'm glad to see Wells starting. I still have my reservations re Kellaway at 15 but I'm hopefully he'll prove me wrong. Tahs by 2 in a...

Butler over Alcock? Wasn't Butler one of your best players a few seasons back?

I have it 100% confirmed that it was a case of suicide. Thats not speculation. I don't think shying away from what happened here is in anyones best interest. Truly sad but this is a conversation our society needs to have more often.

I can confirm that what it suggests is indeed what happened. Very very sad. My thoughts are with his family.

Tahs by 2. I don't know how the Force will structure their 23 but I do that I really rate Lance, DHP, Morahan, Meakes, Peni, Rona, Ruru, TPN, RHP, Cowan, Hodgson, McCalman and A. Coleman as more than capable Super Rugby players. Newsome, Burton, R. Coleman, Masirewa, Louwrens, Faulkner, Arnold...

HEY HEY HEY. Whats going on here? None of this pre-season Tahs optimism thank-you-very-much. I think we should all expect the Tahs to come 8th and anything more than that will just be a happy surprise. Reds to top the Aus conference and win the comp.

I'm sure Reids replacement will make up the difference. It's not like they simply won't field a number eight. Edit: I'd LOVE to see the Brumbies win (less points for the Kiwis, more confidence for Australian sides) but I really don't think its going to happen. Their roster is absolute pants...

Fuck me what other one-legged idiots do I have playing for the Indoor Kites XV? Crusaders to win regardless. Maybe by 15.

Brumbies to get absolutely smoked. Crusaders by ~20 and Read to score 2 tries to boost my fantasy team (perhaps that last sentence is wishful thinking).

He burnt that Highlanders outside back who was half his size, and not many individual tries are scored from more than 60m. Even if they are, an 100m sprint exhausts anyone (including professional sprinters). What else do you want? Him to go full Forrest Gump and run past the dead ball line...

Haha, erm.. Michael Foley wasn't playing at fullback for the Tahs from 2011-2012 but, as Scoey said, the years in which he coached (2011-2012) we certainly underperformed. My main man Nard Foley though was excelling at fullback during these years. It was a great apprenticeship for a backline...

Tbh he made a few good tackles last night (with good technique) and looked to be getting involved. He looks less porky than he was a few months ago. Give him a chance I reckon - particularly considering Kellaway picked up a shoulder injury in that game (don't know how serious it is)...

They announced that number in the last quarter - there was more capacity on the hills and the stands behind one of the try lines. Perhaps it could get to 7.5k if it was 100% full but I don't think it could get much further than that. Great ground for viewing though.

With 5004 people there the ground was almost at capacity - is that commercially viable for the Tahs?

I'd likewise start rejig the backline / reserves as follows: 9. Phipps 10. Foley 11. TQN 12. Simone 13. Folau 14. Robinson 15. Hegarty 16. Ryan 17. Roach 18. Lolohea 19. Hanigan 20. Wells / Wilkin 21. Gordon 22. Horne 23. Jones Horne is returning from an injury yes? I definitely think he...

Haha. Right. As I said my brother is good at getting confused. The bloody numpty. Tbh I just think I wanted to believe him.

Also my brother (who is prone to making mistakes) said he saw Kurtley on the sideline watching. A meeting with Gibson / Cheik perhaps? He said this on two separate occasions so I'm starting to believe him. Is Kurtley coming back to NSW rugby (again)? I'd certainly take him.

Making sense of my notes from the game: - The first quarter and a half was very different from the rest of the game from a Tahs perspective. Obviously we started with an A-team, but when we made a late resurgence I noted to myself "Ahh well it means nothing as the Highlanders have subbed all...

But Barnaby Joyce got his footy coverage when growing up by crowding around a radio in Tamworth with his 14 other male relatives, so why should it be any different for us? Times have changed but it doesn't mean Australia has to or something like that.
