Tomorrow? More like half time.

News reports show Folau scoring a try and say he is going well. Waratahs up 13-11 at half time. Should be into 2nd half by now.

ABC reporting he should have scored a second but unselfishly passed it

more importantly - the Tahs should bench those white socks: they look like a pommy league team from the 70's

ABC also reporting that Vuna's injury was only a stinger

Folau scores again and Waratahs win 24-16.

2 tries, could've got another and a sin binning.

At the very least it sounds like a solid start for Folau. Hope the knockers who said he wouldn't be able to understand rugby take note.

nice way to start the season, delighted for Folau that his debut went well. Be interesting once the Wallabies come back into the side

Pretty pleased with that result as well, I thought the Rebels would win comfortably based on the teams.

 

[Hawko]

Alternatively, they'll play out of their skins trying to impress the new boss and absolutely smash the Rebels top team. Just hoping.. I expect there will be a couple of the wider squad who will be impressive - AJ for one - and its fun to speculate who the others might be. Time will tell.

Its a sin to quote yourself, but there again I'm a Tahs supporter and couldn't resist. Hope is a dangerous thing, but life would be poorer without it.

Best quote I've heard re Folau was that 'he looked like a fish in water'

An encouraging start from him.
The still photo accompanying the article quoted at post #3022 shows a ball carry that I wold consider a bit vulnerable.
The footage of his first try that I saw suggested he would have encountered better tackling in the AFL.
he can only play whats in front of him, though - where have i heard that before?

What was his yellow card for?

What was his yellow card for?

Not using the arms in the tackle from the report I read.

THE ONE LAW THEY HAVE TO LEARN.

 

[Quick Hands]

Not using the arms in the tackle from the report I read.

Yellow card for slowing the ball down at the tackle after the ref had given the team a warning that the next would go.

As I said when it was first mooted that Folau was coming to the Waratahs, I think that before the season is over he will be a valuable member of the starting side. Nothing that has happened in the last 24 hours has caused me to change that view, quite the opposite in fact.

 

[Quick Hands]

On a broader front, how many potential Israel Folau's are there running around playing junior league in western Sydney because there is no junior rugby club close to their home?

Over to you Messrs Pulver, Hawker and Farr-Jones!

Does this article In The Sunday Herald have anything to do with the Tahs?

Who actually is the Tahs captain?

Tahs don't officially announce who the captain will be until the season launch on Feb 6. So unlikely to be the them unless it's happening behind the scenes.

Could it be the Rebels?
