Waratahs 2023

[Marce]

I attended both the first game at the Allianz and the match on the weekend at AAMI park and, of course, we lost both (winning the Drua match I did not attend).

Maybe you are the problem lol

Pre-season Tahs hype seems to have evaporated pretty quick.

Chart buster.

The annual abandonment of hope in March / April is like reincarnation for us.
Don't kill our buzz.

SMH article saying Jorgensen for 15 this week. Will be a great opportunity for the young lad.

I'm not sure how strong are the Chiefs this season, they have a perfect score so far but they faced Moana, Landers who looks more like an Aussie side than a Kiwi one and the weakest Saders I can remember. Perhaps we have an opportunity in Wellington and against Brumbies you never know. It's a clash, a battle

Swinton is ok.

No.6 Lachie Swinton will be available despite concerns over a foot injury, but second rower Hugh Sinclair will miss four to six weeks with a cracked shoulder blade.

Whether Jorgenson is ready or not I don’t know. But at least this is a strong indication that they are looking to move Donaldson out of 15, and an acknowledgment that it’s not working.
He’s done well on the wing so I say what have we got to lose? He will make mistakes, but so be it. We need to do something different

They beat the Crusaders 31/10 at Christchurch. I think they are pretty strong.

I like Jorgenson getting a go at 15 with what he's shown on the Wing. He has been good under the high ball and from what I saw at School Boy level he can kick the ball just fine. Does this mean Pietsch is back into the starting lineup? I like the back 3 of Max, Mark and Dylan. High work rate around the field.

Donaldson or Edmed to the bench.

The weakest Saders ever with a 1/3 record

I appreciate the take

Makes me think of everyone that's said the Melbourne Storm are done over and over. New England Patriots were done for a Decade at the start of every year.

Absolutely. I'd rather face them right now than in the last rounds

Edmed will be bench.

He was meant to start there with Fonaldson at 10 until all the KB (Kurtley Beale) issues.

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

My thing with Jorgensen is we all need to go in understanding how young he is and that he will make mistakes. I just hope the media don’t crush him and don’t put him up as our saviour too quickly.

Miles Amatosero – the 203cm, 125kg 20-year-old – is set to return home from France to sign a multi-year deal with the Waratahs and Rugby Australia.

I wonder how theyve managed to snag him

I imagine the French interest in capping Meafou helped, having a guy of similar profile a couple of years older than him in front of him would make opportunity elsewhere look more appetizing.

Dunno? But it’s a huge signing.
