That is a real setback for TSC - wet weather smarts required - was that missing by the BH boys?

"we would all be saying "what a tackle!" Hmmmm - Walsh had already got the ball away, so even if the tackle attempt had been legal it would still never have been a 'tackle'. If anything, he was potentially guilty of stepping in too early - something another Waratah, not long out of school, has...

No criticism, just observation - the conditions underfoot were awful - made kicking from the tee a lottery - several adult/parent View supporters were screaming for the boys to take points from penalties, which showed how little they understood the conditions. Kick to the corner and maul in was...

Watched TSC vs View 1s - TSC played the conditions marginally better with a lot of dropped ball for both sides as expected; close at the end but a deserved win for TSC. TSC #8 was used as the midfield battering ram, with good success, while the new TSC #7 played a blinder and made up for #8's...

I see the TSC #12 from last week has been moved to #8 (more akin to his RL spot) - a challenge to master that Union scrum position though, interesting. Quite a big shuffle in the pack moving last week's #6 and #8 to #4 and #5. If the #15/#14 trial doesn't work out this week it could be back to...

Just watched Colts 1s Easts vs Sydney Uni - Easts #7 man of the match - masterclass display; pilfers, hit-ups, link play.

"Super Rugby funding must go up and salary cap increased" RA funded? The franchises (bar Force) can't balance their books now with the current salary cap - forget assets, it is the cashflow (or lack of) that is killing them.

Fair comment - and I could be specific about a number of the TSC players, but I understand that is not the done form on this site. Let's just say some of the TSC backs tackling was below par, whilst some TSC back's passing and kicking missed their targets and the TSC forward's ball retention...

AKA playing like a League 2nd Row - translating Union Centre to League can work, less the other way.... finesse is the missing art.

It's a little of both - the new TSC #12 didn't play like a Union back, Joey's back row outplayed TSC (bar Brial), TSC backs need to learn to stay out in defence and trust their Centre to tackle and not step-in; literally a school boy error that so many take with them into Colts Rugby. Joey's...

Dupont said he mastered his jackal skills from his 7s training / playing - 4 turnovers I think?

Similar - just watched as short of time y/s. Front five went well, and the backs, apart from slippery ball (not) catching, were the difference imo. BackRow disappointing and out muscled.

Damn - Teddy Wilson concussion at Singapore 7s?

Agreed - and threw an unnecessary interception try pass.

Makes sense as they are on the doorstep.

He is a winger at Super Rugby level (for now) imo - FB at school was fine with a go forward pack, and smaller bodies to contend with in the tackle. He needs to learn how to tackle lower, and stay out in defence - he has that schoolboy tendency to step in too early, rather than trust the man inside to...

Saturday is that one (not that your stats are valid - but no issues!) :-). I am a Waratahs member, but I have taken the bet.

Could be that by halftime - betting has that @6.

Leinster vs Northampton - 82300 at Croke Park sell-out for a Club (Province) game. Final to be played at Spurs, ironically with a 63,000 capacity. Stuff of dreams for Super Rugby.

Any educated guesses as the make up of the front row this week?
