Second trial game is on this Friday - has anyone seen a lineup? I expect it to be noticeably different from last week's team against the Rebels

I was over in Spain during the 1st and 2nd Lions games - best places to view the games were Irish bars - though they had to open slightly early to catch the games live (due to time difference). There is nothing lonelier than being the sole Australian (surrounded by holidaying brits) at 11am in a...

Former Springboks forward and hard man Jacques Potgieter will continue to play rugby in Japan until the end of 2017, despite continuing to play Super Rugby for the next two seasons. Potgieter swapped the Bulls for the Waratahs, and hasn’t linked up with his new team as of yet. The former...

Thanks Lee - loving the training updates - with Skelton I'm holding opinion until he shows he is more effective than a straight one for one swap with Timani. I'm really happy with all news re Cheika coming out of the Waratah's camp - he sounds like he makes smart choices and doesn't suffer under...

Hi all, while we're here - I think I'm missing out on the Skelton hype. Big fella for sure, but I've generally seen him as slow with a tendency to fall over the gain line instead of bending/breaking it. I also know it was his first year with limited game time. What are the areas people see him...

agreed - I'm looking forward to seeing how they go - really enjoyed watching some of the new guys that started for the Tahs in 2013.

Thanks Grant - so that would make it: TPN Latu Roach ... there's probably been discussion on this earlier but that depth looks worrying

Also - anyone have updates on the Tahs hooker issue? TPN is walking wounded - how are the backups/depth looking? I saw an article on Tolu Latu from USYD - how realistic is he as a starter?

The Johnson Falefa 'highlights' didn't look that that encouraging - a series of scrums and a couple of 'prop as half back' moments. The halfback moments looked a bit flacky and almost looked like he'd inserted himself into the game instead of being into position for the next play/hitup. I...

I'm thinking of heading along. Although seems like desperate stakes if this is seen as a solution. My thoughts: the style of play: plenty of comments have been made on the stodgy nature of the game play. i) forwards not hustling, ii) Burgess taking his sweet time to deliver, iii) lack of...
