Super Rugby RD 7 - Waratahs v Brumbies

[Rugbynutter39]

This is going to be fun.....

And you thought last week was ugly!!!
If this young side's heart wasn't broken before this, it surely is now.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Will Cusack be back this week? Looks like Brown might be out for some time. Scott might find he's starting.

I understand Tom Wright will be back. Starting or off the bench?

This is surely the dead cat bounce game!

Tahs by -21!

 

[Sheepie]

Tahs by 25!

Nah, scratch that. 50!

 

[Rugbynutter39]

I feel for tahs

at least some positives in attack but defence hmm appears they decided that was optional

At least the positives in attack made me feel tahs watchable

This should get ugly, sides have been known to rally and get up for a game around adversity but I just can't see this side doing that. Maybe if they brought in Chieka to motivate them for the remainder of the season which would be a blessing to anyone watching the Stan coverage, at first I thought he was more insightful then I had first given him credit but the last two weeks he has been unbearable.

Bringing cheika in for a session at least not a bad idea

Might not suit Cheika.

Might not suit Cheika.

Yeh agreed - especially if would like to be in the mix for coaching role. My thoughts are cheika probably up for another coaching gig but does not look like much come through for bigger coaching gigs other then smaller league coaching roles

Sure, but coming in to the Waratahs job would be negotiated with everything on his side. We've seen how that works before when he took over from Linc. If Cheika is not interested in simply a short term single season gig, it won't happen that way.

Was not suggesting for a season but originally coming in for a one training session to impart some wisdom but was agreeing he won’t do that if in the mix for taking tahs coaching gig for 2022. Whether in the mix and/or something interested in of course unknown

England looking for a new coach lol he would be perfect.

Cheika will be busy coaching Lebanon at this years Rugby League World Cup

Finally might see Charlie gamble - at this stage of the season don’t think it is much of a gamble playing him

 

[Slim 293]

Good to see Kuenzle and Wright back for the Brumbies.........

 

[hifflepiff]

Heartened to see the Tahs running Williams and Douglas at lock. at this point, they should really just go all in on youth with a look to next season.

 

[Froggy]

Bell - 20, Porecki - 28, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) - 24, Williams - 20, Douglas - 21, Sinclair - 28, Tizzano - 21, Harris - 20! Is this the youngest pack ever to take the field in Super Rugby?
