Hawko are you suggesting we are going to win in 2014
Wash your mouth. Never utter those words again.
There are two things in life you shouldn't ask:
1) never ask a women if she is pregnant unless you can see a baby coming out of her
2) never ask a Waratahs supporter if this is the year, unless the final whistle has sounded and the Waratah's captain is holding aloft the trophy.
Both questions can lead to awkwardness and tears.

its on the website down the bottom right. Foley has had 1 sprayed on him
That jersey/prototype actually had the Volvo logo on as a sticker if you look closely.
It'd be very surprising if it's been released ahead of the Tahs actually doing so. I know the merchandise booklet photo session last year was under tight wraps before they released the gear. But who knows.

It wouldn't be the first time an Australian supporter jersey was released to the international market before Australia.. It must have some to do with licensing and distribution rights.

Have you read the comments section? Talk about feral. If those guys came on here they wouldn't last 48 hours!

Interesting idea and worth a crack. We're rather thin at 13, so even if he's third-string behind AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Horne, that'd be a nice thing to know was going to work.

Minus the usual racism, IMO, it's not like the comment section at foxsports is that much better. Haven't checked out the comments at Fox since I found this site though

If Kurtley were to become the next Conrad Smith, that would only be good news for the Tahs and the Wobs. A ball-playing 13 outside a hard running 12 (llke Horne or even Godwin for the Wobs) could be a real threat, particularly with some good finishers on the wing. He would have to learn to ditch the jinking steps and run straighter at the defenders.

Think Folau will play 13 for the Tahs and KB (Kurtley Beale) at 15. - That shouldn't be the case but the Tahs will slot in both big $$$$ signings.
Really think the Tahs are the real deal in 2014 and shutting down
Folau will be so very important for opposition teams if they are going to win.
Expect him to be very heavily targeted and pressured (much like QC (Quade Cooper) was or is). The bloke has had a wonderful initial year but probably flew a bit under the radar. Izzy is super talented etc etc so it will be interesting as to his reaction when he becomes the subject of targetted and relentless defence.. I would also expect that the high ball be kicked everywhere where he isn't (because he is incredibly safe under the bomb). opposition teams will not want to give him any time or space to return the pill with width and at pace.
2014 looks interesting for the Tahs.

But then what do you do with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)?
How do you know that Cheika won't put Foley in at 12 and KB (Kurtley Beale) at 10?
Zander
Ron Walden (29)
Foley's never played there, why would he? I think it's pretty clear what Cheika wants; his eagerness to re-sign Foley suggests he wants him as the 10. Already come out and said Folau will be 13 and his public backing of Beale says he'll be the 15.
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. Betham
12. Horne
13. Folau
14. Ashley-Cooper
15. Beale
21. McKibbin/Lucas
22. Lance
23. Crawford
All the talk out of the Tahs is that Beale is hoping to play 10. He will be the backup 10 and 15 unless he can force himself ahead of Foley at some point.

I'd take Crawford over Betham any day. The way I see it, the backline should look like this:
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. Crawford
12. Horne
13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
14. Folau
15. Beale
21. McKibbon
22. Lance
23. Betham
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. Crawford
12. Horne
13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
14. Folau
15. Beale
21. McKibbon
22. Lance
23. Betham

What has Crawford done to be relegated to the bench? I'd say he proved a greater asset then his wing partner. Certainly a better try sneak.
Zander
Ron Walden (29)
Nothing? But Betham would be ahead of him after making Wallabies. Betham is more dangerous but more error prone and I think with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on the other wing he'd be better than Crawford. Betham running off Folau or Beale offloads = magic.
