Super Rugby T-T R3: Waratahs v Crusaders

[pissedoffihavetoregister]

I thought charlie gamble did ok last week, not sure why he was dropped.
And turner fell over a few too many times i guess.
I guess its a bigger pack, douglas looked like he dislocated his shoulder, good to have williams back.

Gamble is injured

 

[Tah Man]

Nice balance to the backline and a big abrasive back row to make up for the shortcomings in the 2 rows. Don't mind it

Tahs side:

1. Bell
2. Porecki
3. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)
4. Williams
5. Dud (whetton)
6. Swinton
7. Dempsey
8. Harris
9. Gordon
10.Donaldson
11.Penny's Son (Newsome)
12.Foketi
13.Perses
14.Maddocks
15.Harrison

16.Cotton
17.Faulkner
18.Breen
19.Caird
20.Tizzano
21.Grant
22. Moeroa
23.Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase)

Dempsey abrasive???

 

[Tah Man]

Yep. Carries well and hits hard in defense and seems to have a genuine screw loose. It's his work rate which is questionable.

Dempsey abrasive???

 

[Pfitzy]

if they're good enough.

I don't get Whetton. Surely Caird to start is a better option, and I though Woods in his one showing was better than Whetton. Maybe I'm missing something, but he seems to offer nothing.
Also, on the wing what happened to Reilly? Mark M shows a complete reluctance to tackle, I would have been inclined to have Reilly come off the bench.
Tahs could only win this with some substantial action from Indian bookies!!

I am pretty sure that mini me would offer more than Whetton at lock

I always like a 7 with workrate issues

Agreed. Surprised and disappointed to not see more of Woods after his impressive debut.

I’m guessing if Dempseys work rate isn’t up to scratch or whetton misses a few tackles, they can throw tizzano on. I like the added running option in Dempsey, but feel we need to slow their ball down at the breakdown which calls for a dedicated on baller

 

[Up the Guts]

Looks cold

 

[Dctarget]

Those scrum penalties are so boring. Nothing bad happened, Crusaders were fishing. Equivalent of 9 throwing it into a lazy runner.

Also good to hear lots of Christchurch fans are in the ‘gong!

 

[Dctarget]

Fuck we don’t deserve Perese. How good is he.

 

[Up the Guts]

Crusaders’ 13 all at sea

 

[Blackadder]

On ya Penny's son

On ya Penny's son

Not good in defence or attack?… what does he provide?

Captaincy qualities apparently

 

[Dctarget]

Crusaders pretty poor, riding some weak penalties.

 

[Blackadder]

Well it's not like Whetton has been on the field anyway ...
