there's a reason there's only waratahs supporters and not waratahs fans ....

This is basically the entire limit of my expectation when it comes to our Super Rugby franchises.
People saying we don't have have enough talent for five times are correct, in a sense.
The talent doesn't make it through because everything underneath it is wasteful and inefficient.
If juniors, schools, and seniors were actually reading from the same song sheet, we would have five very competitive franchises and a top three test side.

Kev suggesting Proctor likely returning for next match. Great news, particularly given Strachany's injury looks serious and Kells MIA.

Penalty count 18 - 4 to the Rebels.
Around half of those being scrum penalties. That's the game right there. No team, or coach, is going to overcome that

Well I watched to halftime , and was getting a bit late here in NZ and went to bed. Came in here and just see the Tahs lost? I couldn't see the Rebels beating many teams after seeing them last week, but what do I know, I got both games wrong in my picks!
Did game reach any heights in second half, kind of meandered a bit.

The Waratahs are the best financed team in Australian rugby and are the biggest underachievers
I would be getting rid of the tahs before I show the rebels the door.
imagine how great this comp could be if we could put a JS signing over at the force or max jorgensen at the reds.
Its a lost cause in NSW.

The Force are the best financed team.
We keep getting told this by Force fans who love their Twiggy Warbucks

What’s his injury?
Waratahs had lots of outs but we were missing Kemeny, Wilkin, Proctor and Kellaway. That’s a lot of talent.
Feels great to win ugly away from home, don’t think there’s going to be many more wins this season. Drua, Highlanders, Crusaders, Blues, Reds. Need to get 2 of those somehow and see where we sit.

Not sure. Kevin didn't say and I haven't seen any reports about what he did.

5th rate team? Force looked good last week

A win against the Drua next week should be very achievable given the Rebels are at home. That momentum might get them over the line against the Highlanders at home, though the Highlanders look to have the sort of half and backrow that has minced the Rebels at and around the ruck this year so it might be tough. Gets harder from there on out with the only games against the bottom half of the table being away to the Crusaders and Drua. That final round away game against the Drua is the last one you want too, with the Drua likely to be in a similar position fighting for a spot in the 8.
Still, 4 wins has been enough in the past and 5 should be so it's still achievable. Most important thing will probably be sticking close in a few of those loses and picking up the bonus points they need to stay in touch. Rebels already have the worst for and against in the comp so they'll probably need to secure their place on ladder points outright.

Because they don’t want to. Wasn’t Crichton intrested in Rugby but when told RA to chip in wants him in WA he said nah I’m good.
Jorgo at the Reds! What about the pride of QLD Jock Campbell X! QLD have to be behind their own at all times.
Rather see him become a guaranteed star at the Brums.
Tahs need a good GM most of all. NSW has the strongest underage sides for the last 5 years and what looks like the next few at least. Keep locking up and developing the kids.

Having just watched the game all I can say is wow, not a good wow. Rebels were rubbish except in scrum. Glad that was against the waratahs. We would have been flogged by almost any other team.
