Waratahs 2021

[Crashy]

Its a big IF, but it will be interesting to see who comes back to Australia if the Wallabies keep improving and winning more games.
I can only think that blokes like Beale who fucked off at the first sniff of contract $ isses will be feeling a teeny bit envious of the joy this current crop of youngsters appear to have playing test rugby.
Think Rodda and a few others have fucked their careers good and proper with such short term thinking.....

I think Beale knew his time had come.

On the Waratahs thread I'd hope it was something to do with the Tahs improved performances, results etc that would entice them back. A lot of any players enticed back by our hoped for improvement in the Wallabies could be, and probably would be, attracted to some of the other franchises.

Thanks for the valuable, and not at all snide, contribution the the thread.

The hero of the night was Waratahs-bound lock Sam Caird, who galloped through a hole in the Otago defence after 72 minutes to put Sam Nock over for the game-defining try.

I actually like his effort near the line more that the run, I like seeing big locks on the hip and driving

Brodie Retallick?

Brodie Retallick?

The implication was that it was someone playing in the Mitre 10 cup so that seems unlikely.

Preseason started today. Photo of Will Harris and Jeremy Williams on Tahs Facebook so both must be staying.
