The 13? Has played plenty for the Reds. And the Wallaroos.
The 12 was the one that caught my eye. 16 I think. Shalom Sauaso. She was brilliant.
In saying that we were completely outclassed. Particularly our forward pack. NSW depth very good. Full strength squads might be closer but Shannon Parry and Codey are a loss. It seems our front row depth is particularly challenged. The American will be needed big time.
I've just finished scan-watching the game. Reds were totally outclassed right across the park, not just the forwards.
Observations:
Neither team got the memo on head contact. McKenzie should have got a red too, not just yellow.
The Sky Blue offloading in contact was just unstoppable - draw and pass was lovely to watch.
The Waratah locks were awesome, frightening even.
The Red 6 looked to be about 30kg wringing wet. Tried hard, but just plainly under-powered. Needs to have a double-digit number on her back.
Reds have got a lot of work to do, the Waratahs will get some players back and be even better next time.
