Super Rugby-TT: Rd 1 Waratahs v Hurricanes, May 14th, SCG

[Pfitzy]

Geez what is Holland thinking?

Something like: "This'll be a fucking walk in the park bro, so I'll send out my C Team"

No I don't think he would ever think that. He will be trying to get wins wherever he can, and has maybe just got a different view to us the way to do it.

 

[Froggy]

Wouldn't mind having Dane Coles and Jordie Barrett in my C team!!

Is Ramm injured? Good backline bar your wingers. Poor Nawaqanitawase trying to cover Rayasi or Savea.

Ramm dislocated his shoulder in the final round of SRAU.

Well going to first tahs game this Friday with a mate...my expectations is to hope to see tahs continue to improve but comparing the team lists is scary...

I think those teams are reasonably well matched, Canes have the experience, but surprised that Scafton not there, as I think he best lock we got. Kirifi has to remember to not give away penalties and stay out of sinbin too. I not sure why he not giving Taumateine the bench ahead of Roigard, who I think has been best 9 we have played. I wouldn't want to be a bench player in backs that gets injured over next couple of weeks either, they will find injusy will take them out for season to make room for TJ's return.

Me too - hard worker across the park and has a bit of toe.

 

[KiwiM]

Problem with Scrafton is his discipline is woeful - walking penalty magnet.

The Hurricanes squad to face the Waratahs is:

1: XAVIER NUMIA
2: DANE COLES ©
3: ALEX FIDOW
4: JAMES BLACKWELL
5: ISAIA WALKER-LEAWERE
6: REED PRINSEP
7: DU’PLESSIS KIRIFI
8: DEVAN FLANDERS
9: LUKE CAMPBELL
10: RUBEN LOVE
11: SALESI RAYASI
12: PETER UMAGA-JENSEN
13: BILLY PROCTOR
14: JULIAN SAVEA
15: JORDIE BARRETT

Prinsep and Blackwell are a special kind of nonsense but I reckon Stupid Flanders and IWL are ones to watch. IWL has that wacky Akira-strength you really dont want to tangle with.

God knows how this team came last in SRA, some jailbreak potential in Love, Rayasi and PUJ. Of course, Jules has totally shit the bed by now and runs like a sherried-up old biddy but they have to trot the poor git out because ticket sales/marquee name.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Well here I am watching tahs play at scg amongst the couple of thousand. Why do we play at scg vs smaller grounds like leichardt is beyond me

I agree. Pack out a smaller stadium and have the atmosphere. Hope its a good night for you.

 

[Dctarget]

That was simples.

 

[Dctarget]

I think I owe Newsome an apology. That was some lovely phase play by the ‘Tahs. Gordon changes everything.

 

[TheFairlightFlanker]

That was very tidy

 

[Derpus]

Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) the single worst player in contact ive ever seen

 

[Dctarget]

Waratahs look really nice & composed in attack, much better than the Reds but their défense is non existent.

Édit: that was nicer défense that led up to Bell’s pilfer.

 

[Snort]

Tackling looks to be optional for the Tahs backs tonight

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Dear Queensland Reds,
That's how it's done.

Yours in rugby,
NSW Waratahs
