Round Five: Waratahs vs Chiefs Friday 7:30 pm

[Hawko]

Is there any likelihood that the Waratahs can pull out of their current trajectory and beat the table-topping Chiefs?
Who among the resting/wounded returns this week?

 

[Lightblue]

Maybe Pietsch and Joey Walton in the backs?

Ouch! That thing has feelings.

That thing is horrible

Let's lay off the personal insults please.

 

[Marce]

For me they aren't the 2015 ABs. Their last 3 games were: Moana, Landers and Rebels. The easiest schedule ever.

The worst enemy of Tahs this season are the Tahs so...

 

[John S]

The optimist in me says there's a glimmer of hope. The bits which the Tahs have done well were good, but there are just too many errors

[LeCheese]

A lot of WC squad candidates in that injury list - a real shame for Gleeson, Gamble, and Jorgensen in particular

 

[7137]

No playmaker cover..

 

[qwerty51]

A lot of shoulder injuries.

 

[John S]

I almost broke out in "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" reading that list

did DC run over a cat or something?

 

[Drew]

No playmaker cover..

Yeah, that’s a worry if Donaldson got hurt. I haven’t seen enough of Dowling to know how he’d go. Walton might be able to fill in at a push? Or Goddard outside Gordon?

 

[Froggy]

Thought they might have put Bowen on the bench

Incredible amount of injuries to a lot of teams isn't there?

If only people could've forseen this happening with increasing the ball in play and speeding the game up...

It's all Rennie's fault!
